".....Desperate perhaps, or impatient because of old age and months left in his presidency, Abbas took the ill-fated decision to support the delay of the Goldstone Report. This effectively destroyed whatever credibility and legitimacy he had left on the Palestinian and Arab streets. That credibility - gained at a time when Fateh was lead by Arafat and enjoyed some world respect - is now history, because of Mahmud Abbas and his stance on the Goldstone Report.
No wonder an increasing number of voices are now calling on him to step down not only in the Palestinian territories but within the wider Arab and Muslim world as well. "
