I've Been Thinking:

Over the past few months Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas has been conducting a very serious and problematic campaign against Israel.

This campaign came to a head last week, a week before the Israeli election.

In short, Abbas has been bashing Likud leader Bibi Netanyahu.
Abbas met with French, British and Italian leaders.

His message to them went like this:
"You refused to fully cooperate with such a government because Hamas did not meet the Quartet's conditions on ending terrorism and recognizing Israel."

"You will have to adopt a similar stance toward an Israeli government that will oppose the creation of a Palestinian state and genuine negotiations over the core issues of a permanent settlement."

Abbas is telling Western leaders to treat Likud like Hamas.
How warped is that, even if you disagree with Likud, it is a mainstream democratic party.

Why has no one called Abbas on this perversion of reality?
