Mahmoud Abbas snubs Biden's state secretary, and it's apparently okay with them

Ruthie Blum points to how fraud-in-chief Joe Biden's secretary of state, Anthony Blinken, was not whom the PLO's Mahmoud Abbas wanted to speak with, because his rank isn't on the same level:
Yet, just as no "goodwill gesture" aimed at reversing Trump's policies vis-à-vis the Palestinians has been unexpected, neither has Abbas's typically ungracious attitude. Unlike Trump's people, however – who made it clear from the outset that the aging despot's delusions of grandeur and posturing wouldn't work on them – Biden's are kissing up to him.

An incident that took place a few weeks ago is illustrative.

In mid-February, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken personally phoned Abbas, undoubtedly to discuss all the goodies that the PA could anticipate from Biden & Co, and perhaps to wish him well in the upcoming elections. But rather than bask in the attention that he was receiving from America's top diplomat, Abbas refused to take the call.

Yes, the head of the tiny terrorism-supporting entity was deeply offended that someone of Blinken's "inferior" stature was on the line. Abbas, after all, had demanded that Biden himself initiate the conversation, "president to president."


Instead of warning Abbas not to overestimate his standing in the world relative to that of the secretary of state, Blinken accepted the snub. According to a report on Thursday by Israel's Kan 11 Radio, which was picked up by the Ma'ariv newspaper, sources in Ramallah and Washington are now discussing the option of Blinken's holding the chat with PA Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh or senior PA official Hussein al-Sheikh.

Palestinian affairs expert Khaled Abu Toameh confirmed the veracity of the report, informing JNS that Abbas had instructed his aides to tell Blinken to talk to PA Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki, the secretary of state's "counterpart."

Abbas's gall is not new and has served the PA ruler well with the international community, which has elevated him to ill-deserved heights. This is due to an unfounded, knee-jerk opposition to Israel, not to the way in which he rules his own people, who view him with disdain and outrage.

Nor is American appeasement of petty tyrants a novelty; certainly not among those, like Biden and many of his appointees, who served under former President Barack Obama
. Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif's verbal abuse of former US Secretary of State John Kerry during nuclear negotiations – so loud and disrespectful that even Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei ordered him to tone it down – comes to mind in this context.

Trump put a temporary stop to such supplication. Ramallah, like Tehran, responded by spewing rhetoric, but feared suffering the consequences of Washington's wrath. One key basis for the trepidation was financial.
Yet the PLO continued, most unfortunately, to pay salaries to terrorists, but at least the US, when Trump was in charge, made sure the PLO wasn't being given US taxpayers' money for funding evil. Now, this has tragically been forced back into being what the leftists want. In some ways, it's reminiscent of how bad things are going now when it comes to China's own government, which made a mockery out of Biden and company recently, and did they protest properly? Nope. These are but telling examples of how the US is sadly on the point of collapsing.
