Abbas – Olive Branch in one Hand – Hamas Terror in the other, with a Loud Cry – We Need your Money – “Do Not Let the Olive Branch fall from My Hand!”

This latest round of baloney coming down the pike out of the Hamas – Fatah maze of confusion called a government, is the biggest pile of manure I have witnessed in a long time.
It has only one object – to get the quartet welfare payments for its people started again so they will be free to get on with their plans to destroy Israel. But the thing that has shocked me more that anything else, is our State Department shifting from one quartet position to another and back again, then off again, on again, gone again, Finnigan. The position of firm support for Israel is eroding in the United States along ethnic and religious lines. I am afraid all of our political cries of great future support for Israel will turn out to be more rhetoric than reality.
The following article from DEBKAfile leaves no doubt that the only kind of peace that can ever come to Israel is a false peace that suddenly ends in great travail for
Israel. Israel is looking for a time of “peace and safety,” but Hamas is looking for a five-year “hudna” (ceasefire) to get ready to give great travail to Israel.
I Thessalonians 5:3,4 – For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. [4] But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

DEBKAfile: Abu Mazen cannot deliver on his solemn pledge to the UN that his planned unity government will recognize Israel
September 22, 2006, 11:24 AM (GMT+02:00)
This pledge is hollow given the terms of his secret deal with Hamas PM Ismail Haniyeh, which are revealed here for the first time. Even that accord was vetoed by Hamas’s hard-line leader Khaled Meshaal from his base in Damascus. And, early Friday, a Hamas official in Gaza said his movement would never recognize Israel.
Yet Abbas appealed movingly to the world body Thursday night, Sept 21: “Do not let the olive branch fall from my hand.”
These are the terms of the secret Abbas-Haniyeh accord for a Hamas-Fatah unity government, according to DEBKAfile’s exclusive intelligence sources: Mashaal is appointed deputy chairman of the PLO, the world Palestinian umbrella, which makes him PM Haniyeh’s superior. The PLO under the rule of the Abbas-Meshaal duo will be responsible for the Palestinian Authority’s security and foreign affairs. The Haniyeh government will be left with economy, transportation, health and education. Meshaal’s presence in the supreme Palestinian body will open the way for Tehran, Damascus and Hizballah to hold sway over Palestinian affairs, including peace diplomacy. The European Union and Olmert government have given the prospect of a Palestinian unity government a favorable reception, maintaining that it is the first step towards transforming Hamas from a terrorist to a political movement.
Abu Mazen and Haniyeh further agreed that –
1. Haniya would remain prime minister.
2. An informal long-term truce will be declared – and enforced by Fatah and Hamas – after Palestinian prisoners are released in exchange for the Israeli soldier Gideon Shalit.
3. Abbas will serve as Palestinian negotiator with Israel. Any accord he may reach will be put to referendum for ratification.
4. Hamas will not recognize Israel or any accords signed with the Jewish state.
Neither will Hamas accept the other Middle East Quartet condition, the renunciation of terror.
5. Palestinian leaders will rally European assistance for amending the Quartet’s conditions for acceptance of the new Palestinian government.
6. Hamas will be co-opted to the PLO and receive 45% representation.
7. Fatah will be awarded the foreign affairs, finance and interior portfolios.
DEBKAfile’s sources further reveal that when Abu Mazen took off for New York, Meshaal had still not come around to endorsing the agreement. Hamas was also holding out for a bigger slice of government:
A. A 60% share in the PLO’s ruling bodies reflecting its proportion of the national vote.
B. Veto power over ministerial appointments.
C. Abbas must give up control of Palestinian mass media and hand it over to a minister of information who is not a Fatah member. For these reasons, Abu Mazen announced a freeze on national unity talks before he left for the United Nations last week.
However, after his arrival, the Middle East Quartet, including the United States, decided to welcome a Palestinian unity government after all.
Abbas and Hamas in the Midst of Israel and Nasrallah to their North!

Nasrallah boasts no army
in the world can disarm Hizballah.
“We still have more than 20,000 rockets. Hizballah is stronger than ever before”
September 22, 2006, 6:07 PM (GMT+02:00)
This was a jab at UNIFIL, the Lebanese army and the UN Security Council when he addressed a “victory rally” in the Dahya district of Beirut, the Hizballah stronghold, Friday, Sept 22. “We won’t release two captured Israeli soldiers exchange in a prisoner exchange!” Nasrallah said and called for a new government in Lebanon. Lebanese parliament speaker Nabih Berri’s Shiite Amal adherents joined Hizballah followers at the rally of tens of thousands, which showed his power base as representing Lebanon’s largest community.
Tehran stands with our people, he shouted. As he spoke, black balloons festooned with Israeli flags floated overhead.
The Hizballah leader saluted Iran, Syria and Palestinians. He declared the Lebanon war was an American war aiming for gains for Israel – not the Lebanese people.
“We made the Israeli army’s four proudest brigades run like mice,” he bragged. The opinion polls just published in the Israeli press show who won the war and that Olmert was defeated, he said.

This big bad brave leader and his followers hide behind children and religious buildings, as the following BBC Article from the Jerusalem Daily Alert Center attests.

UK Minister: Hizballah’s Hiding Weapons in Civilian Areas Had Gone to “New Depths”
UK Foreign Office Minister Kim Howells told the UK Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee that Hizballah’s tactics in hiding weapons in civilian areas had gone to “new depths.” The minister alleged that Hizballah had hidden caches of arms in schools and mosques, and rockets in apartment blocks in southern Lebanon. “Every time the Israelis responded…and smashed a building down, every picture of a burnt child and every picture of a building that had housed people [where] there was now pancake on the ground was propaganda for Hizballah. And if an organization like Hizballah is ruthless enough to exploit those tactics, then one wonder how it can ever be possible in the future to, if you like, win the justice on your side against such an enemy.” (BBC News)
