Did PA President Abbas Fund The 1972 Munich Olympics Attack?

The Roman Wanderer thinks so. Click on the title, read the post, and take the link from there to the Jerusalem Post's Uri Dan article and see what you think.

If this is true, then my friend Mustang at SocialSense must be right. There are no moderate Muslims. At least there are none that are in a position of power or authority, of any real significance.

In the Muslim world (like many others) you are a follower or you are a leader. The Muslim leaders tell the Muslim followers that if they don't follow, Allah will rain down fire on them. They are also told, if anyone that wants to die a martyr (by killing as many innocents as possible), their souls will be sucked up to a paradise, complete with harem. (I wonder, what do the women get?)

Abbas was sold to the Palestinian people and to the world as a kinder, gentler leader that would throw away the Yasser Arafat school of terror and would actively seek peace with Israel. We are waiting, but from where I sit, there seems to be a whole lot of inaction going on in the PA. Which can only mean they have to rearm, retool, and are waiting to restart the killing machine, as soon as this can be accomplished.

I have been skeptical about Abbas from the beginning, but not because there was any smoking gun and not because his views are nearly as hard core as those in the Hamas community. Do you ever just get a hunch? You have no solid evidence or support for why you have the hunch, but your gut tells you something?

If this is true, then maybe I now know why.

These people are truly consumed with unjustifiable hatred and age is no mellowing agent here. Saddam, Hitler, Stalin, and many other despots did not improve with age, megalomaniacs seldom do. And until proven otherwise, I will be inclined to believe that there has been none here, either.

And to think it's all over a strip of land that belongs to the Jews; a land that was once theirs many years ago. All of the oil is located in the rest of the Middle East, so what could be so damned important to them? To the Jews, the land has spiritual meaning and it has had for many more years than the Muslims.

Cause they hate Jews. They were the arm of the Nazis in the middle east. Nothing has changed.

Esther, the Arabs didn't give a rat's derriere about that land, until Israelis began making it more productive. It was a barren and unkept piece of land, then the Jewish innovation, engineering, and good old-fashioned intelligence began restoring it to it's early grandeur.
