The New York Times Won't Let Mahmoud Abbas Have His YOLO Moment
2018-01-18
[FreeBeacon] You're the president of the Palestinian Authority, a darling of the western left and western media, but largely powerless in your own back yard. You're 82 years old, in the 12th year of a four-year term, and many people are no longer taking you very seriously because your great patron and promoter, Barack Obama, is no longer President of the United States.
Praise be
You know it's over, everyone knows it's over. Why bother keeping up appearances? Not that you tried very hard in the past. Back then, you made sly references to your belief, for example, that Jewish history in Israel and Jerusalem are fabrications of Zionism. But now you feel liberated to say what you really believe.
He'd make a good Black Forest smoker. I can just see smoke rolling from his ears.
So you call a meeting of the Palestine Liberation Organization. You have a list of things to get off your chest. You have 400 years of alternative history to expound. The media is there to report everything you say. You held it all in for a decade, and you had to, because Obama couldn't stop talking about how you're a great man of peace and how much he loathes the Israelis. You were being a friend by not pointing out that the Jews were poisoning the drinking water in Palestine and getting young Palestinians hooked on drugs.

#1  Abbas is getting the Zerobama treatment.

If he says anything that doesn't fit the narrative about Palestinians good, Israelis bad, then they don't report it. Much in the same way every lie that the empty suit told us about the "affordable (HAHAHHAHA) care(?) act" or the IRS, or the Iranian deal or the Uranium one deal is quietly swept under the rug when the narrative is repeated to the gullible left.
