Say good-bye to Mahmoud Abbas
Once upon a time, it was believed that releasing Fatah's monster, Marwan Bargouti, would strengthen the position of terrorist leader Mahmoud Abbas, in his battle for dominance over Hamas. Now, Israel will release him at the request of Hamas, in exchange for Gilad Shalit.
Israel has agreed in principle to release Marwan Barguti and a number of prominent Hamas leaders from prison – diplomatic sources were quoted as saying in Monday's 'Al-Bayan' newspaper, based in the United Arab Emirates.
The former leader of the Al-Aqsa Martyr's Brigade, Fatah's active "military wing," Bargouti is serving several life sentences for for the death of at least 26 Jews during the Al-Dura Intifada.
While in prison, Bargouti ran for President of the Palestinian Authority in 2004, he generated a lot of support from palestinians and his announcement threw the presidental race into chaos, but he was convinced to back off and withdrew after only a few weeks.
Bargouti will soon be on the streets, ready to jump into the fray, and in serious debt to Hamas for obtaining his freedom. His release can only mean one thing for Mahmoud Abbas, make way, resign or be killed. I imagine killing him and blaming it on the Jews will be preferable to Hamas.
Say hello to the next Head Terrorist of the Palestinian Authority:
