Mahmoud Abbas is a murderer. I can't believe what politicans will do for money. The Israelis are purposely targeting gaza cilivans to put pressure on people to give mahmoud abbas his power back in gaza. People worldwide are so disgusted by Israelis agenda on gaza that this whole plan will backfire on Abbas. He will be another Bush going down the worse presidents ever. please someone throw a shoe at him (lol)
