PA Criticizes Remarks by Ahmadinejad

The Palestinian Authority lashed out Saturday at Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad over his remarks about the Israeli-Palestinian peace talks.

“[The Iranian president] who does not represent the Iranian people, who falsified elections and took power by fraud does not have the right to talk about Palestine, its president or its representatives," Palestinian Authority spokesman Nabil Abu Rodeina said [Wafa News Agency, 4 September].

"We are defending our national rights and interests and will not allow anyone to threaten us or question the legitimacy of the Palestinian Liberation Organization led by President Mahmud Abbas,” Rodeina added.

President Ahmadinejad had said on Friday, during his speech at the Quds Day, that the talks that began on Thursday in Washington lacked legitimacy as the Palestinian leader (Mahmud Abbas) had no right to make representation and concessions in the name of Palestinians.

"Who gave them the right to sell a piece of Palestinian land? The people of Palestine and the people of the region will not allow them to sell even an inch of Palestinian soil to the enemy. The negotiations are stillborn and doomed," Ahmadinejad had said.

This made me laugh out loud. The PA giving others lessons in democracy and legitimacy. The people that negated a democratic election that gave power to Hamas. These corrupt, ineffective stooges that are now employed as a native militia to terrorise and oppress westbank palestinians trying to discredit Ahmedi....as i said very funny.

While I agree that the PA is in no position to give others lessons in democracy and legitimacy, neither is Iran under Ahmadinejad. We have our own corrupt ineffective stooges that are now employed as native militia, i.e. Basij and plain clothes thugs, to terrorise and oppress the Iranian people. Sad but true.

Where has he been? Has he been asleep since June 2009? - that he only now understands this?? I guess it is better for him to realize this fact now - later is better than never.

Abbas, the PLO (Fatah)and their family, have amassed huge personal fortunes; their kids are the money tycoons of the West Bank. They have a monopoly on all wireless communication in the Palestinian territories. Abbas, you may say, is the Karzai of the West Bank; the status quo is his best friend, for as long as the Israelis and Americans keep offering him protection. Fayad, Abbas...are all crooks, they would cease to exist. As an academic, would you give up your livelihood? Of course not. Neither will the 140,000 Palestinians who work for the Palestinian Authority.
