Abbas' true colors


Abbas: Aim guns against Israel

Appealing to Palestinians to avoid civil war, Abbas said: “We are all one people regardless of differences of opinion. My top priority is to preserve national unity...rifles should be directed against the occupation.”
Defending his call to use weapons against Israel, he added: “We have a legitimate right to direct our guns against Israeli occupation."

Poisoned rhetoric, and poisoning to his cause as well. He treads a fine line; needing to rally the citizens, many of which clearly feel this way, from supporting Hamas, which feels even more strongly about it. But there is only so much that can be ignored, and in his haste, Abbas may be biting the only hand that can help him hold onto his people and their future.
