This really shouldn't be surprising in that this clown was appointed by Abbas, who has flip flopped from Western ally to direct terrorist against Israel about 100 times, but it's making news. The Israelis, earlier this week, raided a commercial center in Nablus which has many business owners funding Hamas' efforts in Gaza. Israel basically then ordered the center shut down. And now, Prime Minister Salam Fayyad is telling the palis to ignore the order and just go about their usual business. Here's the details from Reuters:
Did you catch that? Fayyad is telling the pali business owners to defy the order and if the Israelis don't appreciate that the PA "will deal with them..." Hahaha! In other words, this moron is telling these palis to risk getting their asses killed or arrested on the promise that the PA will somehow help out with Israel??? Good grief.
What's making news here is that this asshat, Fayyad, originally was supposed to be this pro-Western dude that was going to bring some sanity to the lunacy of palestinian demands, and ever since he got appointed, he's basically acted like all of the other nuts.
I guess, in this case, he feels safer standing up for Hamas than fearing Israel. I hope the Israelis prove him very wrong.
Prime Minister Salam Fayyad called on Palestinians on Thursday to defy an Israeli army attempt to shut down a major commercial centre in Nablus.
In a striking intervention in an affair that Israel says is aimed at disrupting funding for Fayyad's Islamist opponents in Hamas, the Western-backed premier visited the modern complex which rises above the centre of the West Bank city and urged businesses to reopen there despite an Israeli raid on Tuesday.
"Shopkeepers are invited to open their stores and ignore the Israeli decision," Fayyad said, after soldiers who searched the building ordered it closed on the grounds its owners had passed funds to Hamas. "The Israeli army orders and decisions are not valid ... We will deal with them as if they don't exist."

Fayyad calls on Palestinians to defy Israeli army
NABLUS, West Bank (Reuters) - Prime Minister Salam Fayyad called on Palestinians on Thursday to defy an Israeli army attempt to shut down a major commercial centre in Nablus.
In a striking intervention in an affair that Israel says is aimed at disrupting funding for Fayyad's Islamist opponents in Hamas, the Western-backed premier visited the modern complex which rises above the centre of the West Bank city and urged businesses to reopen there despite an Israeli raid on Tuesday.
"Shopkeepers are invited to open their stores and ignore the Israeli decision," Fayyad said, after soldiers who searched the building ordered it closed on the grounds its owners had passed funds to Hamas. "The Israeli army orders and decisions are not valid ... We will deal with them as if they don't exist."
Fayyad, a former World Bank economist, was appointed by President Mahmoud Abbas a year ago after Hamas, which ran the previous, elected government seized control of the Gaza Strip in fighting with forces from Abbas's secular Fatah movement.
The United States and its allies see Fayyad's efforts to improve Palestinian forces' ability to curb anti-Israel militants and his declared focus on promoting economic growth as key contributions to a peace process relaunched in November.
Since his appointment, Fayyad has been increasingly critical of Israel's failure to ease restrictions on movement in the occupied West Bank or to remove Jewish settlements scattered across the territory, both factors he says hobble its economy.
Nablus has been a focus of complaints that Israeli forces are undermining Palestinian security efforts by raiding into a major city that is, in principle, under Palestinian control and are stifling commerce by ringing the city with roadblocks.
SETTLEMENT COMPLAINTS
Earlier, Fayyad visited the town of Nilin, which Israeli troops sealed off and placed under curfew for several days this week after protests, occasionally violent, against continuing work on walls and fences in the West Bank that Israel says are intended to prevent Palestinian attackers reaching its cities.
Israel has rejected a World Court ruling four years ago this week which found the barrier to be illegal.
Fayyad praised local people's protests: "Peaceful, popular action in defense of our land is a legitimate right to thwart plans to confiscate land for building walls and settlements."
