Another day, another attack by Mahmoud Abbas’s party on Mahmoud Abbas’s government:
In the third incident of its kind in recent days, Fatah gunmen stormed the offices of the Palestinian Legislative Council in Jenin, accusing the Palestinian Authority of failing to pay the families of security prisoners held in Israel… Led by Zakariya Zubeidi, commander of Fatah’s armed wing, the Aksa Martyrs Brigades, in Jenin, some 40 gunmen also blocked traffic in the city’s main square for several hours.
Meryl has game on the whole thing being for show, so I’d just like to chime in with the observation that it’s not a very good show. A little creativity now and then certainly couldn’t hurt them. Maybe instead of trying to destroy Palestinian political institutions, how about try not to destroy Palestinian political institutions? Change things up a bit, is all I’m saying.
