There is one reasononly, why Abbas is talking about holding general elections: to continue mlking the cash cow he has in the form of US and European governments.

The Palestinian leadership’s ongoing efforts to muzzle its critics not only deprives Palestinians of their salaries and pensions, it also involves intimidation and arrests.

Khalil Al-Haya, a member of Hamas’ political bureau, says the solution to Gaza’s humanitarian crisis is to threaten Israel.

Working to foil plans for a new hospital in Gaza, PA leaders are sacrificing the lives of Palestinian patients on the altar of hatred.

Hamas can now claim another ‘achievement’ in their jihad against Israel by transforming a clear-headed and courageous young man into a blind and disabled one.

While the PA and Hamas are beating up each other’s supporters, “pro-Palestinian” activists on US and Canadian campuses are blaming Israel for Palestinian woes.

They disagree on many things, but when it comes to repressing and violating the human rights of their people, Hamas and Fatah are comrades-in-arms.

So far, Israel’s objectives in armed conflicts with Hamas have been limited to avoid the reoccupying Gaza or to send it down the “Somalia model” path of chaos.

It has been another tragic year for Palestinians living in Syria, but pro-Palestinian advocacy groups and mainstream media seem to have missed the misery.

The only question now is how long it will take the United Nations and the International Red Cross to condemn Israel for being a prison party-pooper.

Amid threats by Hamas of an ‘explosion. over reduced energy supply, Netanyahu said Israel has no interest in escalating the conflict.
