Tension mounts between Hamas and PA
As tensions mount between Hamas and Fatah over the effectiveness of firing rockets at Israel, fears are growing for the safety of PLO chairman Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen).

"We're very worried for his safety because of the campaign of incitement waged against him by Hamas and several other groups," a senior PA official in Ramallah told The Jerusalem Post.

The official threatened that the PA would launch a "Fallujah-style" operation against Hamas and its supporters if the movement continues its offensive on Abbas.

On Wednesday, Hamas renewed its attacks on PLO chairman and Fatah candidate Mahmoud Abbas following his criticism of the rocket attacks, saying such statements encourage Israel to step up its military operations against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

1. So which is it?
Doesn't this directly contradict the other acticles you have posted which suggest Abbas is no different than Hamas.

Also is the JPost owner by Richard Pearle?

3. I suspect it's possible to
consider two groups to be virtually identical, although they may view themselves as quite dissimilar.

(My view of East Coast vs. West Coast rap while the practitioners of the two varieties were duking it out, for example.)

4. Well.......
everyone knows that west coast rappers are 'posers'
and 'shorties' while east coast rappers are 'dope' and 'play-az'.

Word up, dog.
