"The Palestinian Authority expressed their outrage on Wednesday at Israel's Channel 10 report of a video found depicting one of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' senior advisors in compromising positions with a woman candidate applying to work in his office. According to a PA official, the report was merely an Israeli smear campaign meant to embarrass Abbas. The report also aired claims made by former General Intelligence chief Fahmi Shabana that officials close to Abbas and his predecessor Yasser Arafat were entangled in corruption scandals amounting to millions of shekels stolen from public coffers." Think about it: in all examples of history. Collaboration and corruption and sleaze ALWAYS go hand in hand. I mean, have you ever seen a dignified collaborator? Just look at the one above. You get the point. (thanks Olivia)
