The Palileaks blame game

You just knew that this would happen. The 'Palestinians' are blaming two Western bureaucrats for Palileaking to al-Jazeera. And they've demanded that the US State Department investigate.
Meanwhile, Erekat on Wednesday said that a former CIA agent and a former EU official were responsible for leaking the Palestine Papers. Erekat’s comments came in an interview aired on Al-Jazeera.

He claimed US citizen Clayton Swisher and British citizen Alastair Crooke were responsible for leaking the documents to Al-Jazeera.

Swisher used to work in Erekat’s office but left after six months and began working at Al-Jazeera.

Erekat said that he had demanded the US State Department investigate the leak.
Israel Radio reports that Erekat made those statements in a bizarre interview with al-Jazeera from his office, and that he called Swisher a CIA agent. The documents that make up Palileaks came from Erekat's office. Israel Radio also reports that al-Jazeera is no longer media -that it's become a propagandist against the 'Palestinian Authority' (as I'm typing this post, Israel radio is interviewing Avi Issacharoff, their Arab affairs correspondent who is fluent in Arabic).

By the way, Palileaks is taking a back seat to what's going on in Egypt on Israel Radio this morning. But on al-Jazeera, it's Palileaks around the clock. Al-Jazzera is determined to bring down the 'Palestinian Authority.'

It certainly seems that Al-Jazeera is determined to keep after the "Palestinian Authority" until they are dismantled.

The Arabic newspaper in London is screaming in rage at the PA negotiators now, too.

This may be the end for Abbas and company.

Agreed. Israel never had a peace partner.

The flip side of the disclosures put paid to the notion of a Palestinian state being established in the foreseeable future.
