Two Clowns in Palestine: So Palestinian puppet president Mahmud `Abbas, former holocaust-denier-turned-ally of Israel, was giving a speech at the (closed) Gaza airport yesterday. Standing next to him is the super corrupt Palestinian major puppet Muhammad Dahlan, whose corruption is revealed in various incriminating documents sent to Angry Arab by anonymous Palestinian sources. The two men did not know that the microphones, were picking up their side conversations between `Abbas speechmaking. Al-Arabiyya was covering the event live, and the audience were treated to the most condescending and mocking comments made by Dahlan and `Abbas about the Palestinian crowd gathered. It was also revealing how Dahlan was telling `Abbas what to say. At one point, Dahlan told him to "mention the martyrs." `Abbas mentioned the martyrs. Then Dahlan told `Abbas to speak while placing his middle finger in his left ear. `Abbas then spoke to the crowd with his middle finger in his left ear. It just makes it clear what those two think of the Palestinian population who they will try to oppress.
