Abbas: Most Qassams Fall in Palestinian Territory
2006-01-15
Mahmoud Abbas: We should not consider the truce a favor that we are doing to others. We are not doing Israel any favor. We are giving a gift to our own people. The truce is for the sake of our people.

What is the use of entering into conflict with the factions now? What is the use of missiles? I would like someone to give me even one benefit. Just one. Yesterday, when I was coming from the Erez crossing, I was greeted by two missiles. One of them hit Abu Iskandar's office. What's the use of that? Ninety percent of the missiles hit our own people. They are fired, then come back and land on our homes - killing and wounding, killing and wounding...

Unfortunately, you in the media do not highlight this fact. You don't highlight this. This must be made clear. Go and see where these missiles land. This is one aspect. As long as this is useless, why are we doing it?
suggesting he wouldn't have a problem if they were more accurate in hitting Israel
Only to say we are resisting? This is not resistance. With these missiles - which kill us - we are giving the Israelis a pretext to send planes to attack us, or to make supersonic booms, making our children deaf and paralyzed, and so on. You must tell the truth. You, the entire media... These missiles - what use are they? But all
you say is: a missile was launched here and struck there... You should...

You are not objective bystanders. You are citizens.

#1  NO Mr. Abbas you see if you cant control your own nation and people why should anyone even consider negotiating with you. Hell man they might aswell negotiate with me couple billion in donations to my party "dimwaleo" and I can put a couple thousand flunky-terrorist, ehh police, yolo's on the pay roll as long as they dont have to do anything exept cash the check its all gravy. Why does the international community continue to prop up a leader that is nothing Abbas dont lead no country or people he has no power to control, more less make agreements. Before any negotiations or support is given to any person first thing is they should prove they are in charge and when they say something it happens.
