Arabia Deserta

Lieberman (not Joe) Rats on Abu Mazen, Exposes Palestinian and Arab Duplicity………

“Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said on Monday Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas urged Israel to topple Hamas in the Gaza war last year, then turned around and blamed Israel for war crimes. Lieberman said that raised questions over Abbas's fitness as a leader with whom Israel could make peace. "Over the past year, I witnessed (Abbas) at his best. In Operation Cast Lead, (he) called us personally, applied pressure and demanded that we topple Hamas and remove it from power," he told Israel's Maariv daily……”

I think all Arab oligarchs had their fingers crossed and praying, perhaps sincerely for the first time. Hoping the Israeli supermen would do the job and rid them of Hamas. Hoping they would do a better job than they did against Hezbollah in 2006.
Of course Avigdor was not in power at the time, so how would he know?
