"Pour Out A Little Liquor" for Salam Fayyad

According to YNET news "Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad said that it was time to implement the Palestinian unity agreement and stressed that fulfilling the 'Palestinian dream' would not be possible until a solution is found" between Hamas and Fatah.

 If one recalls during the sad divorce of Hamas from West Bank politics, the elected Prime Minister, Ismail Haniya was replaced by Salam Fayyad as decreed by the almighty Abu Mazen. While Mahmood Abbas continues to take a Suge Knight role in the political monopoly of Palestinian governance, new reports seems to reveal that Fayyad may have been sidelined in what may just be a controversial split between the dictator and the technocrat. 

While this is speculated by the press as a result of negotiations occurring between Fatah and Hamas, it seems like Abbas is still calling the shots for fear of his downfall. Fayyad, as obedient as he is, responded to his decreed downfall in an interview with Al Quds newspaper:

"If that is the opinion of Palestinian sources then I call on all factions and the political leadership to agree on a new prime minister."

Meanwhile, Abed Rabbo, who has no clean political track record and can be envisioned as a Palesetinian P. Diddy,  leeches  off the industry, sucking the fat off of  a Biggie Smalls mockery of conflict between East and West.

While Fayyad falls into the crossfire, Haaretz reports that Rabbo is actually concerned for the split government while he  and others have been threatening a collapse of the Palestinian Authority. In the same fashion as Puff Daddy, dancing around Biggie long enough to land his own weak career, Rabbo will try to make Fayyad the central issue until he secures himself in the next government. As Fatah fears a Hamas win in the May elections, the Palestinian National Authority  continues to market Gaza as the wild West and an excuse for anything that "collapses."It is unclear why the PA is fearful of elections  however, since the PA has called off elections more than once since the Hamas sweep. 

"We must abandon all preconditions that endanger the establishment of a unity government."-Ahmad Rabbo, Al Quds Newspaper

It seems Fayyad is getting shafted left and right as everyone scrambles for whatever they can claim before all hell breaks lose, while West Coast and West Bank work to symbolically unite and Kansas hick Israelis watch in the midst of this exchange from their settlement porches.


Pour out a little liquor this holiday season for our brother Fayyad; we all knew he wouldn't last too long. But if he is anything like 2pac, well, expect a few more albums from the grave.
