Mahmoud Abbas Is No Moderate & Deserves No Support

      Mahmoud Abbas in his own words:

      * On recognizing Israel:" It is not required of Hamas, or of Fatah,
      or of the Popular Front to recognize Israel" (Al-Arabiya [Dubai]
      and PA TV, October 3, 2006).

      * Fighting Israel: "We have a legitimate right to direct our guns
      against Israeli occupation ... Our rifles, all our rifles are aimed
      at The Occupation" ( Jerusalem Post, January 11, 2007; Independent
      Media & Review Analysis, January 12, 2007).

      * On Jews: "The sons of Israel are corrupting humanity on earth" (
      World Net Daily, January 11, 2007).

      * On Israel: "the Zionist enemy" (Associated Press, January 4,
      2005; CNN.com, January 7, 2005).

      * On suicide bombers: "Allah loves the martyr" ( Wall Street
      Journal, January 5, 2005).

      * On wanted Palestinian terrorists: "heroes fighting for freedom" (
      Age [Melbourne], January 3, 2005); " Israel calls them murderers,
      we call them strugglers" (Jerusalem Post, December 25, 2004).

      * On Palestinian terrorist leaders Yasser Arafat, Hamas' Ahmad
      Yasin and Abdel Aziz Rantisi and Palestinian Islamic Jihad's Fathi
      Shikaki: "martyrs" (Palestinian Media Center , September 9, 2005)

      * On Hamas: "We must unite the Hamas and Fatah blood in the
      struggle against Israel as we did at the beginning of the intifada.
      We want a political partnership with Hamas" ( Jerusalem Post,
      February 5, 2007).

      * On Yasser Arafat: "It is our duty to implement the principles of
      Yasser Arafat" ( Haaretz, January 3, 2005); "We will continue in
      the path of the late president until we fulfill all his dreams"
      (Agence France-Presse, November 11, 2005); "The Palestinian
      leadership won't stray from Arafat's path" (Yediot Ahronot,
      November 11, 2006)

      * On disarming Palestinian terrorists: a "red line" that must not
      be crossed (Washington Times, January 3, 2005)/LI>
      * On jailed Palestinian terrorists: "our heroes." (Israel National
      News, May 26, 2006).

      * On the so-called `right of return' of Palestinian refugees and
      their millions of descendants which, if implemented would end
      Israel as a Jewish state: "The issue of the refugees is
      non-negotiable" ( Jerusalem Post, January 11, 2007).

      * On the Lebanese terrorist group Hizballah: A source of pride and
      sets an example for the "Arab resistance" (Jerusalem Post, August
      6, 2006).

      * Saddam Hussein: " Saddam Hussein has entered history as a symbol
      of Pan-Arab nationalism" (Independent Media Review and Analysis ,
      December 31, 2006).

      Mahmoud Abbas' acts:

      * Holocaust denial: He wrote a PhD thesis and published a book
      denying the Holocaust.

      * Terrorist group Fatah: He co-founded with arch-terrorist Yasser
      Arafat the terrorist group Fatah, whose Constitution to this day
      calls for the destruction of Israel (Article 12) and the use of
      terrorism against Israelis as an indispensable part of the struggle
      to achieve that goal (Article 19).

      * Funding terrorism: as senior PLO official, he funded the Munich
      massacre of Israeli Olympic athletes in 1972.

      * Terror & incitement to violence: He has refused to implement the
      signed Oslo agreements and the 2003 Roadmap peace plan which
      requires him to fight, arrest, extradite and jail terrorists and
      confiscate their weaponry and end the incitement to hatred and
      murder in the PA-controlled media, mosques, schools and youth camps
      that feeds it.

      * Terrorists' plan for more violence: In May 2006, he endorsed the
      so-called `Prisoners' Plan', a document produced by jailed
      Palestinian terrorists, that endorses continued terrorism against
      Israel, legitimizes the murder of Jews, does not accept Israel's
      existence as a Jewish state, abrogates Palestinian obligations
      under the signed Oslo agreements and the 2003 Roadmap peace plan,
      and insists on the `right of return.'

      * Money for suicide bombers' families : In December 2005, he
      approved legislation mandating financial benefits to be paid to
      families of killed Palestinian terrorists.

      * Mecca Agreement: In March 2007, he formed a unity government with
      Hamas under the Mecca Agreement that called for more violence, not
      peace and reconciliation with Israel.
