#3 i dont understand the comments.

This is deadly serious.

IJ, and probably Hamas, are gunning for Abbas anyway. Olmert doesnt much want him to die, and certainly wants credit for helping.

#6 LH, we make jokes about serious subjects all the time. I know I personally make cancer, death, and limbless jokes on a regular basis.

Lets not pretend that the people celebrating 9/11 in the streets deserve any better.

Shame on you.

#7 Lighten up LH - you've been whiney lately. You think a snarky comment on a blog makes a bit of diff whether they successfully whack Abbas or not? Grow up

Yeah, they're always so grateful for the help. Especially when it comes to the Zionist Entity.
Remember who you're dealing with here, LH.

#9 mike and frank

yeah, i make some snarky comments too.

I just dont get this particular set.

Who will fall for what? the Pals will fall for sabotaged Israeli weapons? The Israelis will fall for the claim that Abbas is an assanation target? The Israelis will fall for the claim that abbas will use the guns for his body guards? That IJ will be fooled into thinking Israel likes Abbas?
Really, its got to be a tad CLEARER to be funny.

And the only really clever thing is the last. Except its so wrong (Israel really DOESNT want Abbas killed, though its probably not as bad as if Dahlan were killed) that even that isnt terribly funny.

#10 probably Israel is providing some explosive detectors or other electronic stuff -- not guns and bullets

the presidential guard surely have enough of the latter

and if Israel is providing electronic stuff, it probably stuff that Israel can monitor from the I side of the green line
