Imagine my horror when I found the AP piece I marked and read had been replaced by this on the BG website:
Fatah, Hamas reach unity accord (By Ethan Bronner and Isabel Kershner, New York Times)
I'm not even going to bother doing a search for the printed piece; I have limited time these days and the shell games of censorship are making me sick.
Somehow, this article did make it:
"Palestinian factions differ on unity deal; Fatah, Hamas give conflicting interpretations" April 29, 2011|By Ethan Bronner, New York Times
RAMALLAH, West Bank — Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian Authority president, said yesterday that negotiations with Israel were his preferred path to statehood rather than recognition from the United Nations.....
More horror to me.
Hamas had suddenly found itself in a position of weakness.
Pffft! Egtpt is opening the border!
Hamas is based in Syria, which is in turmoil, and it may not be able to stay there over the long term.
An ADDED BENEFIT that makes one believe ALL the MORE that the Syrian protests are a PLAN of DESTABILIZATION and the neo-con plan in full swing!
Moreover, the aides said, Egypt may be friendlier to Hamas than it was under President Hosni Mubarak, but it is not heading down an Islamist path, as Hamas had hoped....
I think OPENING the BORDER is ENOUGH!
And if Egypt is NOT heading down that way WHY does my ZIONIST AmeriKan media MAKE ME THINK IT IS!?
Hamas figures presented a different picture of what led to the accord. They focused on Abbas’s frustrations with Israel and the United States in failed peace efforts and said that Fatah was therefore heading more in the direction of Hamas.
Taher al-Nounou, a Hamas spokesman, said that Hamas would abide by any PLO negotiations....
Yes, the TRUTH gets SNUCK INTO a SENTENCE the two-thirds of the way through the piece before the propaganda moves along!
Ahmed Youssef, a consultant to Hamas in Gaza, said by phone that Palestinians were “really disappointed in the Obama administration’’ and what they had originally been led to believe was a new US vision for the region.
Oh, you are NOT ALONE THERE!!!!
He added that the warmth of the new leadership in Egypt allowed it to place its confidence in its good offices.
Israeli officials reacted with horror to the prospect of a Palestinian government involving Hamas....
:-)
Good for them!
--more--"
Oh, they differ do they (sigh)?
