| Abu Mazen Urges Total End to Anti-Israel Operations |
| 2002-12-02 |
| The Palestine Liberation Organization's (PLO) second in command Mahmud Abbas urged Palestinian factions to halt all military attacks against Israel, in comments published in Egyptian newspapers Sunday, December 1. "All Palestinian factions should declare their commitment to end the military operations, in all forms, totally and not partially," he said in an interview conducted in Qatar with the Egyptian newspaper al-Ahram. Damn. That's the second time he's said that in public, at least, and his car hasn't blown up yet... Abbas, aka Abu Mazen, said the Palestinians should "return to the means of resistance used in the first intifada" against Israel, in the late 1980s, "including stone throwing, demonstrations and other means of peaceful protest." He said the "militarization" of the second intifada "has led to the total destruction of the Palestinian infrastructures and the Palestinian Authority institutions." The Paleos have made rubble and called it revolution. They probably could have gotten a lot more than they have now through discussion and negotiation, but that's not what gets chicks, is it? Abbas called on Jihad to join the dialogue that opened between Palestinian President Yasser Arafat's mainstream Fatah group and Hamas to draw up a common strategy. One that doesn't include explosives? I don't think so... His statements came as Israel mounted up its incessant military aggressions against innocent Palestinians killing two Palestinians and wounding three others, including two children, in Gaza on Sunday. Hamas and Fatah held last month a first round of talks in Cairo and are due to meet again in the Egyptian capital after the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. |
