 Palestinian Unity Hits a Bump in the RoadPosted on Jun 12, 2011
Rival Palestinian factions Fatah and Hamas recently decided to get over their differences and work together, but that’s easier negotiated than done. Hamas quickly rejected Fatah’s nominee for prime minister of an interim government, the pro-Western, U.S.-educated Palestinian politician Salam Fayyad (pictured). —PZS

Life on the West Bank has improved considerably during Salam Fayyad’s tenure as PA prime minister.
Fayyed has trained and professionalized Police and Border Security, improved civic services, cooperates with terrorism investigations and has worked to set up micro loans in a functioning and growing market place. Jobs!- Fayyad also appears to be apposed to lobbing missiles into Israeli communities.
Palestinian Authority president, Abbas, it seems, never cared much about wearing that third hat; the daily administration of government. Abbas left such mundane matters to Fayyad while he jetted about the globe seeking support for the Great Cause.
Abbas is retiring this year. Fayyad, it seems to me, would be a stable and capable successor leading into the next election. Hamas would naturally be opposed.

rico, you know what he’s talking about. But if anyone points out how anti-Semitic he is, he’ll get all indignant.
It’s New Jewrsy? Not New Sicily or New Ireland, New LatinAmerica, New Rio, or New Moscow? Maybe we are New Mexico—nope, that ones take
Shows how much that twit knows about the population of New Jersey. We have an Irish-American Governor (albeit a nit-wit), a Jewish-American Senator and Cuban-American Senator. And if the Jewish-American Senator retires (who is older than dirt), we’ll likely get an African-American Senator.
Our last Governer was English/French or English/Italian American.
He replaced an Irish American.
HE replaced an Irish American.
HE raplaced an Anglo-American.
She replaced an Italian-American.
He replaced an Anglo-American
He replaced an Irish-American
He replaced an Irish-American
He replaced an Irish-American (?)
HE replaced an Anglo-American
etc., etc, past Woodrow Wilson, back to Livingston.
