The Mecca Accords and Israel

I have found a kind of scholarly version of the Mecca Accord. I provide it as an alternative to the DEBKAfile analysis I posted on February 11 at SlantRight.com. I still agree with DEBKAfile assessment that Saudi Arabia is re-asserting influence over the Palestinians via money and a mutual affinity of the Sunni Sect. The Saudis were beginning to view Shi’ite Iran as usurping Saudi preeminence.

The MEMRI analysis I am posting does not mention Iran specifically as does the DEBKAfile; however MEMRI does imply that the Saudis created Hamas as a counter to Iran client terrorist group Hezbollah.

I encourage all to take the time to read the MEMRI analysis. You will come away understanding that the Mecca Accord and the Saudi government will continue to remain hostile to the existence of a Jewish nation known as Israel.

Once you have that understanding, keep it in mind when you read praise from the Mainstream Media (MSM) and beaming congratulations on the efficacy of diplomacy over guns and military might. The Mecca Accord is merely a Mohammedan duplicitous move to end Israel’s existence.

Haniyeh resigns to form new PA

There is always something dubious in the works when Islamofascist terrorists begin to read from the same page.

Hamas Prime Minister Ismael Haniyeh has resigned to form a unity government under PA President Mahmoud Abbas all under the auspices of the Mecca Accord brokered by Saudi monarch King Abdullah.

This looks more radical Mohammedan PR than an actual peace process to recognize Israel.

Riyadh's Aim in Mecca: to Replace Tehran as Palestinian Hamas Backer

I doubt that you will read in any American Mainstream Media (MSM) outlets that the Saudi government is seeking to replace Iran as Hamas’ financial benefactor. I also doubt that you will read the terms of the Hamas/Saudi Accord signed in Mecca, Saudi Arabia.

I am certain the West diplomatically views the Saudi pact as a way of Isolating Iran and possibly slowing down the rapid escalation of Middle Eastern instability.

As you read the DEBKAfile report on the Hamas/Saudi Accord, you will notice it is a guarantee of Hamas hegemony in Palestine, an agreement Hamas does not have to recognize Israel’s existence and concurring with the Hamas goals to terminate Jewish Israel.

Poker Palestinian Style

In the game of political poker, Abbas has called and it is time for Hamas to respond. Who is bluffing whom? Neither Abbas of Fatah nor Ismail Haniya of Hamas is trustworthy as far as making a deal toward Israel's future. The PA sanctioned media and schools teach hatred of America and of Israel.

Abbas has figured this out: Statehood first then destroy Israel second. This is the old story of Mohammedan Taqiyya. The story goes like this: Lull your enemies with promises of peace, then rise up against them and murder them when your enemy is unaware and is trusting. This is the Mohammedan justification for lying to the kafir.

I suspect Abbas will win this poker game because he has the big casinos behind him: America and the EU. The question is how Hamas will take a pro-Abbas referendum? Abbas might be unifying the Palestinian-Arab or further splintering them. Who knows to which direction that will go?

UPDATE:
Abbas has blinked in the political poker game. As the Tuesday midnite deadline approached, Abbas extended dialogue with Hamas three more days:

Abbas backs down on ultimatum
Hamas gets three-day extension on referendum bid

Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas on Tuesday gave Hamas an extension of three days to accept a referendum on a "national reconciliation" document drafted by Palestinian prisoners being held in Israeli jails, The Jerusalem Post reports. The so-called "prisoners document" calls for the establishment of a Palestinian state in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem and for all Palestinian refugees to return to their original homes inside Israel.

Abbas's ultimatum to Hamas to accept the document or face a referendum expired at midnight Monday and as the deadline approached Hamas leaders and spokesmen reiterated their opposition to the document.

If Hamas refuses to agree to a referendum, Abbas will have no choice but to disband the Palestinian parliament and hold new elections, Fatah chairman Azzam al-Ahmed told the Al Jazeera news network Tuesday. As the factions' leaders met in Ramallah on Tuesday afternoon, rocket propelled grenades were fired at the Fatah party's Preventive Security Force compound in the Gaza Strip, injuring three maintenance workers, security and hospital officials told the news agencies.

At least six people have been killed and many others wounded in confrontations between Hamas and Fatah gunmen in the Strip over the past 48 hours.
