As an Indian, I feel strongly for the Palestinian people. But I guess there is too much hatred on both sides. WE need to move on. The recent developments by President Carter should be used as a starting point.

What's the deal kids? On one hand the Palestinian leadership is corrupt beyond all measure, then there is surprise when Israel is reluctant to negotiate with such people?

There's a disconnect here that is oft ignored.

anon 10:35 I'll ignore that stupid line about living here or living in the states and just ask you to explain exactly what it is Abbasshole has done for the Palestinian people?

Mahmoud Abbas has a reported net worth of over $700 million dollars. Muhammad Dahlan over $300 million. And those are the ones that we know about and are widely reported in some circles.

How and why are these people so rich?

well actually what's interesting is that diana worked for him and erakat on the negotiations team. was he corrupt then? and does working for corrupt people also make you a little dirty too? esp if you weren't really saying much then, and were wheeling and dealing then as well. or, no, right, you actually thought negotiations would lead to something, and then, boohoo, were disappointed. just retire, im sick of all of these "former" members of the negotiations team getting self-righteous all of a sudden. you were cogs in the wheel of oslo too, and got paid pretty fucking decently for it (ya, 2K+ isnt great for a lawyer, but this is palestine, livin' large on adam smith dime, and palestinian lives).

Will you please tell Noura that her uncle is corrupt to her face?

That should be fun.

I'd wager that the most vocal contributors of this blog do not live over there. par for the course.

"Abbas has done more for the Palestinians and cares more for them than you ever have."

O RLY? Number of checkpoints, roadblocks, and apartheid walls in the West Bank before the Oslo accords? Number before/after Annapolis summit?

"Disagreeing with a persons politics doesn't = he becomes corrupt and or a collaborator."

Number of senior Fateh officials that were millionaires before Oslo? After Oslo?

Abbas has done more for the Palestinians and cares more for them than you ever have. I don't get all the hate. Because you live in the United Staes you feel you can judge people actually living there who make decisions that actually affect the populace?

Disagreeing with a persons politics doesn't = he becomes corrupt and or a collaborator.
