You criticize Abu Mazen at your own peril

"The Palestinian Authority has decided to remove security from the home of Nabil Amr, a former PLO ambassador to Egypt who criticized President Mahmoud Abbas for delaying a debate on a United Nations committee report, which accused Israel and Hamas of committing war crimes in Gaza.Amr recently resigned his post in the aftermath of the Goldstone Report. He is scheduled to return Sunday to his home in Ramallah." The conflict between `Amr and `Abbas has nothing to do with politics or principles. It is about spoils and external loyalties. `Amr is subservient to the sons of Zayid, while Abu Mazen and his sons are loyal more to Israel and US. There is also a clash of ambitions. It is like a feud between rival gangsters.
