Abbas Eulogizes Munich Massacre Mastermind
Mohammed Daoud Oudeh [pictured with cigar], 73, the mastermind behind the massacre of 11 Israeli athletes who were taken hostage at the 1972 Munich Olympics, died in Damascus.
PA leader Mahmoud Abbas [pictured] wrote in a condolence letter to Oudeh's family:
"He is missed. He was one of the leading figures of Fatah and spent his life in resistance and sincere work as well as physical sacrifice for his people's just causes."

Note: Mahmoud Abbas, the current leader of the Palestinian Authority, was accused by Oudeh [aka: Daoud] of involvement in the financing of the Munich Massacre.

Abbas: "If All of You [Arab States] Will Fight Israel, We Are in Favor"
-Itamar Marcus & Nan Jacques Zilberdik
The official Palestinian Authority daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida reported on July 6 that PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas supports negotiations with Israel today because it is the only option.
Regarding the military option, Abbas said: "If you [Arab states] want war, and if all of you will fight Israel, we are in favor. But the Palestinians will not fight alone because they don't have the ability to do it."

Trust the Palestinian Authority? -Daniel Pipes
Salam Fayyad, the prime minister of the Palestinian Authority, announced in English in Aspen, Colorado, a year ago that Jews are welcome to live in a future state of Palestine where they "will enjoy [full] rights and certainly will not enjoy any less rights than Israeli Arabs enjoy now in the State of Israel."
Just days earlier, however, Saeb Erekat, head of the PA's negotiations department, said just the opposite in Arabic: "Nobody should agree to Israeli settlers remaining in the Palestinian [state]....Some say that we will grant the settlers citizenship. We reject [this idea] out of hand."
Fayyad spoke in English to Americans and Israelis, Erekat spoke in Arabic to Palestinians. Palestinians play this double game because it works. Israelis, Americans and others too often accept the dulcet tones they hear directly and dismiss reports of harsh words they only learn about second-hand.
