Turning Over a New Leaf Watch
No sooner do I post something hopeful about Abbas, the Holocaust Denier goes and does something like this:
In the first decision of its kind since he succeeded Yasser Arafat, Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas has ratified death sentences against three Palestinians found guilty of "collaboration" with Israel...
However, senior PA officials told The Jerusalem Post that the three were Gaza Strip residents who had been convicted of "high treason" for tipping off Israeli security forces about the whereabouts of wanted gunmen.
Shouldn't Abbas want Palestinians to help Israelis find wanted gunmen (read: Hamas terrorists) especially since his power is ostensibly being threatened by those very gunmen? He must want to keep them around for some reason.
UPDATE: Lynn B points out the hypocrisy angle of this story.
