On July 16th we read the following report in Haaretz:
Celebrating in Gaza and Ramallah as well: Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Wednesday welcomed the execution of the prisoner exchange deal between Israel and Hizbullah. Abbas congratulated the family of released Lebanese murderer Samir Kuntar and sent his condolences to the Lebanese families receiving their loved ones' bodies as part of the dealToday, not one week later, we learn that Israel's government deems that same Abbas worthy of a "historic" visit to Israel's Presidential residence. The encounter, we were informed, will feature a red-carpet welcome and Palestinian flags alongside the Star of David. President Shimon Peres said that the political situation would not affect Israel's commitment to pursue the peace process. A peace process with a terrorist-lover?

Like many sites that advocate for a moderate, Israel-friendly viewpoint, we unfortunately receive abusive, offensive and racist messages on a routine basis. We want it to be clear that we reserve the right to reject them in our absolute discretion. Racist and Israel-hating sites abound on the web. So not being allowed to play in our sandbox can hardly be called a hardship. Anonymous postings or messages where email address of the poster is hidden from us will generally not be accepted.
