...


The demonstration coincided with the attack that was launched by Mubarak's supporters against anti-government protesters in Cairo.

Sources in Ramallah said that the demonstration was initiated by the PA leadership, which has banned anti-Mubarak protests in the West Bank.

...

Fatah-controlled media outlets on Wednesday launched a scathing attack on ElBaradei, dubbing him a “war criminal” and holding him responsible for the Iraq war.

...

Abbas was one of few Arab leaders who earlier this week phoned Mubarak to express his solidarity with him against the uprising.

7. Apparently not

..news agencies say hundreds of Hamas supporters are on the streets of Gaza waving Egyptian flags, chanting anti-Mubarak slogans. Hamas is seen as an ally of Egypt's opposition Muslim Brotherhood.

4. Abbas is a tyrant now?

You must be a Hamas supporter. They are the only ones who would hold that position. Abbas was democratically elected to President of the Palestinian Authority with 62% of the vote.

5. Bullshit. Abbas's term ended over a year ago then he unilaterally extended it

He's an illegitimate ruler who oppresses his own people.

Why don't you try educating yourself? You need go no further than Wiki, first line of the second paragraph

Elected to serve until 9 January 2009, he unilaterally extended his term for another year and continues in office even after that deadline expired.

As for the rest of your post, I'm glad you wrote that so everyone can see the dishonest tactic you stoop to after not even getting such an easy, basic fact right.

6. As I said a Hamas supporter.

Did you write the Wiki entry?
