There Was ABBA and There Is Abbas

But both seem to be providing entertainment.

But Abbas is of a dangerous kind.

Hillel Frisch thinks Abbas is perhaps:-

turning from a state-builder into a terrorist, a seditious leader, a man who engages in violence for violence's sake? There are worrying signs. To begin with, at the Fatah conference, Abbas adopted a policy plank which declares that armed conflict remains an option.

Most recently, Abbas and the PA have been behind the violence and conflict in and around the Temple Mount. This is evident in the way the two semi-official PA newspapers, Al-Ayyam and al-Hayat al-Jadida, mobilized and promoted the tensions over the Temple Mount...

Another telling fact is found on the sophisticated Fatah websites, financed by Abbas and Fayyad,[1] which publish countless pictures of Chairman Abbas straddling posters of the terrorist Fatah Tanzim and the Al-Aqsa Brigades against the backdrop of the Temple Mount. And although he banned armed groups, the communiqués of the al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades appear on this official Fatah site.
