MK Sarsur to Abbas: How Can You Shake Olmert’s Hand?
(IsraelNN.com) MK Ibrahim Sarsur (Ra’am Ta’al), the head of the southern branch of the Islamic Movement, sent a letter to Palestinian Authority head Mahmoud Abbas on Tuesday sharply criticizing Abbas’s willingness to meet with Israeli and United States leaders. “I do not understand how one shakes the hands of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and his wife, and the US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, as our people in Gaza are being slaughtered,” Sarsur wrote.
Sarsur spoke on Tuesday at a conference in Baka el-Jarbiya and discussed the situation in Gaza. The “Israeli aggression” seen in Gaza was not new, he said, “but gained a new dimension following the visit from the head of the international axis of evil, George Bush.” Bush gave Israel a “green light” to operate in Gaza and to build in Judea and Samaria, Sarsur said.
[Zionsake: That is for you Israeli democracy that allows hostile enemies of Israel to be Members of Knesset - MPs. It's of course, part of the drive towards multiculturalism vs. being a Jewish State.]
