#1 "I renew the pledge to continue on the path that he started and exert whatever efforts are needed to raise the flag of Palestine on the walls, the minarets and the churches of Jerusalem," Abbas said at a rally in Arafat's old Ram Allah compound on Friday.

Kill him now. A missile into his office while he's in it would be the easiest method. There is absolutely no reason whatsoever for an Arafart redux. None. Too many innocents have already died.

#2 Abbas, Arafat's successor, led a rally attended by top officials from major factions and a handful of foreign diplomats in honour of Arafat, who died aged 75 having failed to realise his dream of a Palestinian state ~~as his exclusive personal harem~~.

I once had reasonably high hopes for Abbas. Now I do not. His flagrant pandering to the absolute worst that the Palestinian legacy engenders cements my loss of whatever tenuous confidence I might once have had.

Abu ~~Mudhen~~ Mazen dons Arafat's sacred keffiyeh and putatively assumes the mantle of authority over a motley crew of psychotic murdering anti-semites. Oh, joy.

One can only conclude that this is a febrile attempt to, once again, co-opt those disparate factions who more recently had taken up arms against the Palestinian Authority. In the almost complete and total absence of any significant support by the road map's Quartet, Abbas is doing one thing above all.

Buying a bullet.

Be it an IDF or terrorist slug, his sorely mixed message is going to find few takers amongst those who matter most to his long term survival. I no longer wish him well.

#4 he certainly seems to be willing to bend over.
