"Prime Minister" Fayyad

Submitted by Thomas Thomson (United Kingdom), Jul 13, 2009 at 18:00

Mr Pipes, your disdain for Mr Fayyad and your mockery of his title is misplaced. He was elected to the seat by his party in 2006. His party, Hamas, were returned to the PLC with an absolute majority of seats. If that's not a mandate to become Prime Minister then I don't know what is.

... You know these facts as do many of your readers. How you come to interpret them differently I don't know. I suppose what I'd like is your readers to investigate this issue and come up with their own conclusions, assuming they are not altogether impressionable.
