CIA Is Running for Palestinian Elections

by Dr. Abdul-Sattar Kassem

The American Central Intelligence Agency — the CIA, or the United States itself — is forcefully present in the Palestinian legislative elections. It has adopted a list on which it is lavishing enormous sums of money for its election campaign. This is a list new in its formation, but old in its cast of characters. The leaders of this list are very close to American policy, and some of them were fashioned by the United States itself to serve as leaders of the Palestinian people. The organizing of their election campaign is being handled by the leaders of the Geneva Initiative, which was rejected by Palestinians. The Geneva leaders are working in secret on this list’s behalf, owing to their own outcast standing. As for the list’s members, it is clear that a number of them are known for dealing with the Zionists, particularly in commercial, financial, and political transactions, while a number of others still remain concealed. All of this is known to the Palestinian executive leadership, which is precisely what has smoothed their path to front-line positions in Palestinian society.

The CIA list — which truly symbolizes American influence — will win more votes than the lists of Palestinian factions that have been struggling for more than forty years. This is thanks to the enormous sums of money poured into it, enabling it to run a broad, misleading election campaign among the Palestinian public. Hamas and Fatah, the two largest organizations on the Palestinian scene, cannot match this list’s financial spending.

It is the responsibility of the factions — who know full well about this list — to make their positions clear and explicit before the people.

CIA is Running for Palestinian Elections

Jan. 21, 2006

CIA is symbolic of US influence and presence. The US is present in the Palestinian legislative elections which will be held on Jan. 25,2006. It is known that the US adopts the prominent leaders of one of the lists running for the elections. It is too early to mention names due to legal reasons. The US is pouring so much money into the campaign of this list which is known to be the most luxurious and extravagant.

This list, due to its unbelievable expenditures, will hold seats in the forthcoming council. The purpose is clear: the US wants its agents to have legitimacy so they will be able to hold key positions in the Palestinian Authority without being challenged.
