Abbas' predecessor, Yasser Arafat, used to send Abu Samhadana $10,000 a month, but Abbas ended those payments in February. Without such support, Abu Samhadana's army is filled with jobless (and armed) men who have been expressing their frustration by going on a spree of kidnappings and assassinations.

Your progenitor, Core, is caricatured as archaic and uncouth, but the issues we grapple with today—internationalism, ethnocentrism, post-modernism—are all addressed in The Red Book with surprising comprehension, even if unfashionable “ism”-less terms are used...
