[Mahmoud Abbas] must now do the only decent thing: resign his post, call for new elections, and allow new leaders to come to the fore. Leaders like the imprisoned Marwan Barghouti may prove better at leading and enthusing a movement against Israeli occupation - without, it must be said, any great difference of political outlook. Warlords in the making, like the rival security chiefs Jibril Rajoub and Mohammed DaWan, may prove more adept at stiffing and suppressing Palestinian dissent on behalf of the same Israeli occupation.
