I've Been Thinking:

The Palestinian Authority shot back at the Iranians.

On Friday the Iranians called Abbas a traitor. On Saturday the PA told the Iranians to butt out. Who, the Palestinians asked, is Iran to declare what Abbas can or cannot do.

The Iranians are way out of their element. They are playing to a wide audience trying to say to Muslims around the world that Abbas has abandoned the Muslim world. To that end Iran portrays Abbas as an irresponsible leader.

Over the next few days the Palestinian Authority will go head to head with Iran. The PA must prove to the Muslim world that they are working not only for the best interests of Palestinians but for the best interests of the entire Muslim world.
