It is, in essence, that the Palestinian "street" can not add 2 and 2 together.

"Abbas and the Palestinian Authority, on the other hand, are bringing the release of hundreds of Palestinians - 200 now and 400 a few months ago - without abductions, killings or injuries, but while giving nothing in exchange."

Riiiiight. As a piece of self-deluded nonsense that is pretty impressive.

Would there be a single, solitary Palestinian who does not understand that *absent* Hamas from the scene then Olmert would not have released any of those prisoners, no matter how much Abbas might jump up and down and flap his arms about???

They would have to be quite astonishingly stupid not to make that connection.

But then again, THIS article isn`t addressed to THEM.

Makes you think, doesn`t it, about just who it is Pfeffer is trying to con via an argument that only a moron would swallow......
