Abbas calls on Hamas to give him custody of Gilad Shalit


"Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas in an interview published Tuesday in the Saudi daily Asharq Al Awsat, requested that Hamas release Gilad Shalit to his custody, so that he can begin negotiations with Israel over his release.

Head of Hamas political bureau Khaled Meshaal on Tuesday stated that Hamas will continue to kidnap Israeli soldiers until all Palestinian prisoners are released."

THE NERVE OF THAT USRAELI AGENT, ABBAS!

He wants Hamas, who has sacrificed so much, to just hand over the Israeli prisoner to him. He would then hand him over to Israel, being the obedient agent that he is. No Palestinian prisoners would be released, but Abbas would get a pat on the head from his masters.

I really think it is a waste of time for Hamas to keep dealing with him. I think this is the time, with the Palestinian public anger at fever pitch, to mount a campaign to force him to resign. He has failed his people and cannot be trusted. He is a not very well disguised agent who should be moved out of the way.

After that, Hamas should dissolve the PA since they control the majority in the Legislative Council. It is time for all serious resistance to coalesce and form a credible national liberation movement. What exists now is neither fish nor fowl; it is an abomination and absurdity. Never in the history of occupied and oppressed people has something like this existed.

First liberate the land before you argue about prime ministers, legislature and embassies. The people are fed up and do not have enough to eat, they are bombed and killed daily, and you are having your endless meetings and "consultations" dressed in your suits, in your air-conditioned offices.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
