COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN THE INDEPENDENT
Palestinian peace
negotiator tells US ambassador to UN Nikki Haley to 'shut up' over Abbas
criticism
Saeb Erekat accuses US
ambassador of calling 'for overthrowing the democratically elected Palestinian president'
"Shut up"
I can't think of a better thing for anyone to say about
anything Nikki Haley says.
The woman is completely weird and remarkably incompetent.

“The US did a thorough job in Egypt, supporting the aggression that overthrew
the elected leader (Morsi) then handing out $billions in 'Defence aid' to the
military junta that seized power. I'm sure they have another clever trick up
their sleeve for Mr Abbas’:
They did indeed help destroy Morsi because Israel was tired
of the sound of his voice.
Israel loved decades of dictator Mubarak and now looks
forward to decades of dictator el-Sisi.
That's how "the Mideast's only democracy" embraces
democracy anywhere in its neighborhood.
Things are getting a little strange with Abbas. He served as
the kind of soft leader, almost a figurehead, Israel likes having for the
Palestinians (after getting rid of Arafat by poisoning him), fairly
trouble-free.
They encouraged him, and they always like leaders who aren't
elected, Abbas having not subjected himself to election for a number of years.
But recently, Abbas has shown a wee bit of spunk and
independence, and that definitely is not appreciated.

“The US has always supported land theft and oppression by the Zionists. No surprise
the Palestinians cannot stand it anymore”:
Yes, they have, and there is a simple reason.
Israel is a de facto American colony in the region.
It's the control in the region that the US is concerned
with, not sentiment about the Jewish people and certainly not any sense of
justice or fairness for anyone, and it has a unique set of arrangements with
Israel to enjoy that control.
Israel gets what it wants while America gets what it wants.
Israel pretends it is an independent country - it is not,
being literally floated on subsidies - and the US always praises it and never
criticizes it, even with its many brutal excesses.
All the sentimental mumbo-jumbo about the Jewish people is
just that for the US policy-makers, mumbo-jumbo. It keeps the locals happy in
their tasks.
Washington wouldn't even take one boatload of refugee Jews
when it counted in the 1930s.
