Jerusalem 'sellout' stokes Arab anger

[Soumitra]

CAIRO: Leaked documents that show Palestinians made major concessions to Israel on occupied East Jerusalem have infuriated many Arabs who fear their rights to the holy city are being sold too cheaply.

Some Arab analysts said the documents, published by Al Jazeera television, did not differ markedly from offers discussed in previous peace talks over the years and showed the kind of concessions needed for any settlement. But ordinary Arabs, many of them angered by their leaders who they feel are too ready to capitulate to US and Israeli demands, still voiced fury about the content of leaks that touch on issues sensitive to many across the Middle East.

"Of course Mahmoud Abbas could have done this because he wants to deepen roots between him and Israel," said Ismail Hussein, an Egyptian bank employee, saying such concessions would turn Palestinians against their president.
Another Egyptian, Salah Hasheesh, said, "If he did this, they are selling themselves cheaply."

WTF are these Arabs whining about ?

They make secret deals with the Israelis on all sorts of things, treat the Palestinians as second rate human beings in their cities and now cry when the Palestinians make some deal which will give them some respite.

Bloody loosers.

You have to differentiate between the rulers and the people..There is no connection between the two.
