So, fifty world leaders gathered together to march in opposition to the attack on the Charlie Hebdo magazine. Among them were none other than Mahmoud Abbas and Benjamin Netanyahu (let's just keep in mind here that Abu Mazzen was the architect of the Munich terrorist attack, which illustrates how bizarre this is). So once again, as with Hezbollah, there are some truly bizarre instances of people objecting to a terrorist attack on free speech, even when one would expect both people in question to not really care that much. After all, Netanyahu's busy trying to turn Israel into a classic nationalist Volkstaat, where again, Abbas was the man behind a terrorist attack on Olympics atheletes.
One thing's for sure, this incident certainy leads to a great many headlines that would be otherwise difficult to believe. One wonders if Netanyahu's opponents in the upcoming Israeli election will holds this against him.
