I don't trust Khalid Mish`al, as a Palestinian leader. Something about him strikes me as shifty and unprincipled. I can see him take his movement the same route that the lousy Yasir `Arafat took his Fath movement. And if Arafat surrendered Fath to Saudi Arabia and its oil wealth, Mish`al seems to be surrendering his movement to Qatar. I should add that he is a lousy speaker: he compensates for lack of oratorical skills by shouting. Isma`il Hanniyyah is probably the best orator of the movement, and he is seen as sincere by his admirers and critics in the Arab world.
