#1 "A masked anchorman with a Koran at his elbow and a rifle next to him..."
Who was that strange, masked anchorman? And how will he put this gig on his resume?

#3 . . . the leaflets included threats to assassinate Abbas and other senior PA officials.

Abbas is killed. Joooos are blamed. And so it continues.

Build the wall, call whatever happens to be on the other side "palestine" and be done with it.

#5 "This is a very dangerous development," said a senior official. "Al-Qaida and other Islamic terror groups are trying to replace the Palestinian Authority with a radical regime."

The PA isn't a dangerous radical regime?

#6 Al-Qaeda TV blasts Abbas as a collaborator

Give the guy some credit - he's at best a halfhearted one.

#7 I'd feel a whole lot sorrier for Abbas if he hadn't gone and pandered so blatantly to the violent Palestinian factions by adopting his "Abu Mazen" nom de guerre. By aligning himself with the resident thugs, he gave them a tacit seal of approval which will continue to haunt his potentially brief administration.

Someone feel free to correct me, but isn't anyone who hasn't signed their al Qaeda membership card in blood generally considered a "collaborator"?

#8 There are no sports-casts because Palestinians aren't athletes.

Isn't it apparent yet that the Palestinians simply can't play football. The Egyptians can. Uzbekistan can. Even tiny Bahrain can. If there was a single striker among the whole lot of Paleos I'd be amazed. See...skill when blowing up innocent bystanders just isn't a needed skill in the real world.

The problem with soccer is, it's a team sport. Back when Qusay was running soccer in Iraq, a missed tackle could result in death. Now, in the New Palestine, the players could actually be killing each other during the game.

Would be fun to watch. Bee-hive ball with attitude.
