PA President Mahmoud Abbas Quitting?

[WildCat]

Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon on Friday said that he does not see a possibility that Tanzim leader Marwan Barghouti will be pardoned and released from Israeli jail if he is elected to replace Mamhoud Abbas as president of the Palestinian Authority.

It fails to contextualize. It fails to compare. It fails to analyze. It fails. It fails and fails and fails and fails.

The sad part is, you're probably smart enough to know that.

The context is that when deemed necessary, terror is used. At present, it's low level on Isreal's part, or not publicised. Refer the killing of reporters.

Is there anywhere on the net some breakdown (in English) of the supposed evidence for Barghouti's involvement in the attack he is supposed to have authorized?

Given his public statements before and after that attack, it seems rather odd that he would have authorized it. Even though I would generally trust Israeli courts in domestic cases, I'd definitely want to see the evidence myself before dismissing the possibility that he may have been convicted for more political than factual reasons.

Isn't this exactly what he wants though? Seems to me Netanyahu's whole MO is predicated on there "not being a partner for peace" - the more Abbas goes unilateral and standoffish the easier it is for Bibi to keep doing what he's doing.

U don't believe that the Prime Minister of Israel really wants peace?

he says he wants peace, what reason do you have to believe he is a liar?

this sounds kinda anti-Semitic..if you ask me.

I am sure he does. The question is, on what terms?
