I've Been Thinking:

This is a story I read on YNET. It speaks volumes about Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.

Abbas' brother-in-law was just admitted to Assuta, a private hospital in Tel Aviv, to undergo heart surgery. The surgery was deemed essential, a matter of life or death.

Last June Abbas' wife had surgery in the very same hospital.

Even more interesting is that the head of Hezbollah's daughter, Ismail Haniyah's daughter, a woman in her 20's, was brought to Israel in an emergency situation and admitted to Icholov Hospital after a routine operation went wrong. That happened last year.

And Haniyah's sister was treated in an Israeli hospital about three years ago when she had an emergency. And then most recently, only six months ago, his granddaughter was also brought to Israel for care after an emergency.

All these cases were considered humanitarian medical acts.

Despite all the care his family has received, despite all the care any Palestinian receives in Israeli medical institutions, at this very moment, Abbas is still on his high horse shouting to all who will hear that Israel is executing and murdering Palestinian children in cold blood.

Ironic? Typical? I am still undecided.
