It’s always amusing to the Tundra Tabloids to see how the lib media depicts sides in a conflict or even politicians and their political parties, using the most superficial descriptions possible. Such is the case in the medias’ describing Iranian politician, Mir Mousavi and Mahmoud Abbas as moderates, neither are, at least in the western sense of the word.
So it brings the Tundra Tabloids no sadness whatsoever, to hear that Hamas had tried to whack Fattah warlord, Abu Mazen (Abbas), the other day. I could care one way or the other who is left standing from the present “leadership” of the Fakestinians, they are all a bunch of hoaxsters, gangsters, anti-Semites and crooks, and the swift departure of any of them will not change my opinion of them.

HAARETZ SAYS ATTEMPT ON ABBAS’S LIFE FOILED
(ANSAmed) – TEL AVIV, JULY 3 – Palestinian Authority (PA) secret services in the West Bank have captured Hamas members planning a series of attacks on PA institutions and officials. According to the daily paper Haaretz, the target of the attacks was allegedly Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas.
PA secretary Tayeb Abdel Rahim has said that the date chosen for the attacks was July 1, and were meant as a way to create generalised confusion in the West Bank by killing PA leaders and carrying out an attack on one of its installations in Nablus by way of loading a tunnel with explosives.
Haaretz quotes PA sources as saying that the inquiry had brought to light the fact that members of the group had gathered detailed information on the Mahmoud Abbas’s schedule and daily routine, as well as on the security measures meant to protect him, which would imply that they were also planning an attack on his life. In Gaza a Hamas spokesman has said that the news is only “a lie” thought up to put “the resistance” – the armed wing of Hamas – in a negative light.
I remember one of my high school friends (his mother was Jewish) lent me a copy of a book by the Anne Frank foundation with the title "Antisemitism, a history portrayed" (Dutch language version – "Antisemitisme: een geschiedenis in beeld"), which gave an excellent overview of anti-Jewish propaganda cartoons over the ages. I was only 18 at the time, but I particularly noticed PLO cartoons, dating back to the 60's and 70's. And the themes we see resurfacing today among the left in Europe hark back to those cartoons ! (including the ones that portray the 'syncretic' Star of David-Swastika combination carried around in anti-Israel demonstrations)
Ever since the threat of Jihad became a real issue to me (starting from the late 90's), it has reminded me of the contents of this book. A splendid source that actually pinpoints the real issue underlying the Palestinians and their feigned indignation.
This book is however not widely available anymore, but I have browsed around on the internet, and I HAVE found copies of it available in public libraries,(like in the municipality where I live) both the Dutch and the English language versions ! A must read, which in my mind clearly demonstrates that we can NEVER extend our sympathy to ANY Palestinian group, whether Fatah, Hamas or any other one !
