Today, there was a terrorist parade by Fatah's Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades in Qalandia:
Is there anyone on the planet that thinks that Abbas didn't know about this? Is there anyone who thinks that he did not approve it?
Here's a video they released today showing their love of terror rockets and martyrdom:
And the EU and US diplomats just keep on pressuring Israel as if these terrorists don't exist and that Abbas doesn't approve of their actions.
Either that, or he cannot even control his own political party.
Whichever interpretation you prefer, it means that Abbas is not in any way, shape or form a viable peace partner.
Journalists are equally guilty. They spend so much time coddling and praising Mahmoud Abbas that they seemingly don't want to embarrass themselves - or him - by asking him very basic questions about this rock-solid proof that he at the very least tolerates the terrorism that these parades and videos are praising.
It's almost as if journalists are adhering to an agenda to make Abbas look good, rather than act as - journalists.
