Through The Glass Darkly

[otraque]

Demonsrations world wide against both Israel and U.S. are gaining some strength, especially in being widespread.
Abbas and a PA security forces are getting denounced in The West Bank as they are now glaring exposing they are low life quislings in the employ of U.S. and Israel.
So far the agony of Gaza is building strength towards Israel--- and the likes of King Abdullah of Jordan and Mubarak have the majority below them against them.
My hatred of Mubarak knows no limit, and he will just escalate his policcies of savage repression.
King Abdullah , he could be turned, i feel.

<<What are you doing?" an onlooker shouted, demanding that the police stop beating a flag-waving Hamas supporter. "It's only a flag. We are all one people!" But soon packs of casually dressed security officers - many of them wearing Fatah baseball caps - surged through the crowd, harassing almost anyone who complained, and beating those suspected of supporting Hamas, oblivious to the irony that their makeshift plastic whips were fabricated from cheap Palestinian flags. "Animals!" someone shouted at the officers. "Collaborators! Jews!" screamed an elderly woman at the police.


Similar scenes - which have been occurring almost every day in every major city in the the West Bank since fighting in Gaza began almost two weeks ago - are the most visible example of the political blowback created by the Gaza violence. While Israeli and U.S. officals have suggested that pounding Hamas in Gaza would strengthen Fatah and those Palestinian moderates willing to engage in the peace process, the opposite is occurring on the ground. The rolling demonstrations in the West Bank, which have drawn supporters of both Hamas and Fatah, have become expressions of popular anger not just at Israel and America, but also at President Abbas and his security apparatus. >>
