Tel-Chai Nation

The PLO's declared the US no longer a partner in "peacemaking" after Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capitol, and bigoted Mahmoud Abbas just delivered one of his nastiest anti-Israel speeches yet:

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas denied a Jewish connection to Israel in a speech to the Palestinian leadership.

“Israel is a colonial project that has nothing to do with Jews,” Abbas said during a more than two-hour speech in Ramallah, to a meeting of the Palestine Liberation Organization’s Central Council. The two-day meeting was held to formulate a response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

Abbas alleged that once there was a state of Israel, its leaders could not convince Jews to immigrate to it. He also said that six million Jews preferred to be killed by the Nazis in Europe rather than leave for Israel.

During World War II British mandatory authorities prevented most Jewish immigration to Palestine.

He also alleged that Israel’s first prime minister, David Ben-Gurion, only grudgingly worked to force Jews in Arab countries to come to Israel after he determined that he could not fill the country with European Jews.

Abbas slammed Trump and vowed to not participate in any negotiations under the auspices of the United States.

He's long proven himself unfit to participate in anything of the sort. Obscenity at its worst. In this article from the Australian, they noted he spewed another vulgar line:

“The deal of the century is the slap of the century and we will not accept it,” he said, referring to Mr Trump’s pledge to reach the ­“ultimate deal” — Israeli-Palestinian peace.

And they deserve it. The news about Abbas' comments gets even worse with the following:

Using particularly jarring language, Abbas said, "Trump, 'ikhrab beitak'" – an Arabic curse meaning "may your house be destroyed."

That is absolutely sick.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is on a state visit to India, said, "Abbas has shown his true colors. He has torn off his mask and made clear the simple truth that I have been trying to expose for many years: The root of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict lies with the Palestinians' fundamental and constant refusal to recognize a Jewish state in any borders."

Abbas' speech "serves our political goals more than anything else, because we can make the elementary claim that unless the Palestinian policy, as expressed by Abbas, changes, there can be no progress," Netanyahu said.

"He exposed his true position and did a great service both to the truth and to Israeli diplomacy. Abbas is afraid of an American initiative. He wants to exclude the Americans from mediating [peace talks], but there is no one else. The Palestinian Authority has been coddled for too long by international bodies that were always quick to hide the truth and placate."

A senior official with Netanyahu's entourage to India described Abbas' speech as "that of a man who has nothing left to lose."

Abbas "is digging his own grave," the official said. "He is systematically losing legitimacy around the world, and this happens every time he makes such radical statements. A growing number of international officials are sending Israel the message that they want nothing to do with him and that they understand he is the real peace rejectionist."

His council of evil are just as repulsive, and deserve to be pariahs as much as he does. It's time to start cutting off all their funding for good, and make sure it doesn't get into the PLO's hands. Abbas should be put on trial for terrorism, as Yasir Arafat should've years before.
