Abbas Endorses Olmert

This week Mahmoud Abbas (a.k.a. Abu Mazen) made two important statements:

-In addition to the dozens of terrorists he suddenly released from the Jericho "prison" allegedly supervised by the US and UK, he is planning to release the murderer of Israeli Minister Rehavam Ze'evi.

-He hopes Olmert wins as Prime Minister:

Likud spokesman Ronen Moshe said, "Even Abu Mazen understands that Kadima is more left-wing than Labor. Even Abu Mazen, who entrusted the formation of a PA government in the hands of Hamas and enables the release of the murderers of Minister Ze'evi, understands that Ehud Olmert will make great concessions for nothing in return or Palestinian obligations."

Recent reports have alleged that the US demanded of Abbas to delay the formation of a Hamas-led PA government so as not to negatively impact the electoral support of Ariel Sharon's Kadima party, led by Olmert since Sharon's massive stroke....

Labor expressed anger at Abu Mazen. Labor sources were quoted as saying that it was "unacceptable" to make this statement after Labor chief Amir Peretz had taken the trouble to meet with him. Labor leaders later issued a correction, saying they were not angry at Abu Mazen.

Now that is a scarry proposition for a terrorist to endorse an Israeli candidate for the office of Prime Minister! I hope Abbas does not endorse the next Republican candidate for President, I might be tempted to vote Democratic Party. Ohhh so scarry.
