The PLO overlord's made anti-Israeli statements yet again, and the leftist Jerusalem Post has gotten something right about what's wrong with him, not to mention why he's not a "peace partner":

When Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas accused Israel of committing “50 holocausts” on Tuesday, he not only deeply offended the Jewish people, but many others, including his German hosts.

At a news conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in Berlin, Abbas was asked by a reporter whether he plans to apologize to Israel and Germany for the 1972 Munich massacre, ahead of its 50th anniversary. Eleven members of the Israeli delegation and a German police officer were murdered after members of the Palestinian terrorist group Black September, which was linked to Abbas’s Fatah party, took hostages at the Olympic Village on September 5, 1972.

“If we want to go over the past, go ahead,” Abbas responded in Arabic. “I have 50 slaughters that Israel committed... 50 massacres, 50 slaughters, 50 holocausts,” saying the last word in English.

It's repulsive what he said, but nothing new, as anybody who's researched his own antisemitic history knows.

While Scholz could be seen wincing at Abbas’s Holocaust reference, he did not immediately rebuke the Palestinian president, although he had earlier rejected his use of the word “apartheid” to describe Israeli policies.

“Naturally, we have a different assessment with a view to Israeli politics, and I want to expressly say here that I do not espouse the use of the word ‘apartheid’ and do not think it correctly describes the situation,” Scholz said.

German daily Bild reported that Scholz had felt constrained by time to object again to Abbas’s remarks as the news conference was wrapping up.

But will they reject Abbas altogether as a "valid" representative? Tragically, the answer is surely "no". These EU ideologues will just keep associating with him till the bitter end.
