| Jihad, Fatah meet in Gaza |
| 2011-03-22 |
| [Ma'an] Islamic Jihad and Fatah leaders met in Gazoo city on Monday, following a Fatah invite, and discussed President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial. He was one of the founding members of Fatah. Since no one would talk to him anymore in the wake of the Karine A incident, Yasser Arafat appointed Abbas prime minister in 2003. Arafat then proceeded to pretend there was no such thing as a prime minister and Abbas resigned in frustration in October of the same year. Arafat keeled over dead from AIDS the next year, and Abbas ran in the presidential election in January 2005. Fatah managed to split down the middle between the Greedy Old Guard and the Young Bloodthirsty Guys for the legislative elections, which threw the whole thing to Hamäs. This resulted in a Government of National Unity™, which worked about as well as those things usually do, and Hamäs soon beat up Fatah's goons and threw them out of Gazoo. Recently Hamäs points out, accurately, that Abbas' term as president has expired, but refuses to allow any elections to take place, which prevents him from gracefully stepping down. This the sort of thing we usually expect in Paleostine... ' planned visit to the coastal enclave. The meeting was hosted in the Fatah offices in Gazoo City, where officials reviewed the current Paleostinian political situation and bilateral relations, according to a statement from Islamic Jihad . Islamic Jihad leader Sheikh Nafth Azzam said the meeting focused on ways to foster reconciliation, and set an agenda for continued meetings as efforts for unity go forward. Alongside Azzam at the meeting were Khader Habib, and Khaled Al-Batsh. For Fatah, those present included Zakaria Al-Agha, Abdullah Abu Samhadaneh, Diab Al-Loh, and Hisham Abdul Razzaq. |
