US-Funded PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas: I Will Never Recognize Israel As a Jewish State…
Maybe if we give him another hundred million a year he will change his mind?
Via MEMRI:
Mahmoud Abbas: “First of all, let me make something clear about the story of the ‘Jewish state.’
“They started talking to me about the ‘Jewish state’ only two years ago, discussing it with me at every opportunity, every forum I went to — Jewish or non-Jewish — asking: ‘What do you think about the “Jewish state”?’ I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I will never recognize the Jewishness of the state, or a ‘Jewish state.’”. . .
Interviewer: “Don’t you think that it was the resistance that managed to liberate a thousand prisoners?
“Negotiations must always be accompanied by a measure of force. There can be no negotiations without resistance. This has been shown by the experience of people — in Ireland and all countries.”
Mahmoud Abbas: “That’s true, but our circumstances are different. We are not able to wage military resistance.
“Hamas kidnapped — or rather, captured — a soldier, and managed to keep him for five years, and that is a good thing.
“We don’t deny it. On the contrary, it’s a good thing that on a small strip of land, 40 × 7 kilometers, they were able to keep him and hide him.”

For my part, I shall never consider any Islamic despotate or potentate to be legitimate, including so-called “Palestine”…

Abbas should recognize a Jewish state at the same time Arizona recognizes that it’s a Catholic state.
In a Palestinian 12th-Grade schoolbook:
“Palestine’s war ended with a catastrophe that is unprecedented in history, when the Zionist gangs stole Palestine and expelled its people from their cities, their villages, their lands and their houses, and established the State of Israel.”
[Arabic Language, Analysis, Literature and Criticism, Grade 12, p. 104.]
[The book is in current use.]
No news here, move on.
Adli Sadeq, columnist for the official PA daily:
“The very least [we can do] is to declare explicitly that recognition of Israel’s right to be a state in this region represents an environmental and security hazard; it creates the basis for acute internal and regional tensions, and distorts history, just as it poisons the future.”
[Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, March 18, 2010]
gast—there are so many things on youtube that are completely fair and balanced.

don’t feed the troll
Adel Abd Al-Rahman, columnist in the official PA daily:
“The false story of the Zionists, according to which Palestine is ‘the promised land,’ is simply a lie without any basis. No person of the Jewish faith who was born in any country of the world has the right to return to Palestine, other than Jews who were born in Palestine.”

I’m gay, and my butt still hurts.
@Fuster:
Man, you are either just an asshole or are completely delusional. Or both. Regardless, eat shit.
I’ve fustered…. and I can’t get up.

We are all watching on a day by day basis as all out war in the Mid East develops, egged on by all the actions of Buraq Hussein O’Bomber.
It was / is Barry’s plan to cause the war just as the election season hits full speed.
The Libyan weapons that he got transferred to Gaza will ultimately prove to be the catalyst.
Yah. But you’d have to give the 100 mill. to Abbas personally, in a Swiss bank account…….just like Arafat. And he’d still not recognise Israel…..just like Arafat. The world should be tired of these scumbags already! I think they just hate Jews.
Let’s all get this straight, once and for all– the so-called Palestinians were not “kicked out” of what they refer to as “Palestine”, if by that they mean the legally recognized area known as ISRAEL today. They all CHOSE to leave, when they all decided it was unacceptable that ISRAEL became the name of the place in 1948 they all occupied as known from the British Mandate of 1923 as Palestine. The government of Israel did not then, nor does NOW, have ANY problem with non-Jews, Palestinians or otherwise, living in ISRAEL (except when they make trouble). The FACT that they all moan and groan about the existence of ISRAEL is not ISRAEL’S fault– it is THEIRS, and THEIRS alone. The FACT that they take violent exception to the nation of ISRAEL simply because of the name ISRAEL, is NOT ISRAEL’S fault either– it is also THEIRS, AND THEIRS, ALONE.
Abbas recognizes
—-”Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas told U.S. Jewish leaders on Wednesday that he would never deny Jews their right to the land of Israel, according to participants of the two-hour roundtable discussion.
Some 30 Jewish leaders from organizations such as AIPAC, the Anti-Defamation League, and the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations took part in the Washington meeting…”
from haaretz 10/06/10
hello $20/gallon gas.
Abbas unwillingness not to terrorize Israel means he is dooming all Palestinians to a life a …economic squalor/martyrdom?
“Hamas kidnapped – or rather, captured – a soldier, and managed to keep him for five years, and that is a good thing.”
.. you gotta do what you gotta do.
spepper—it pretty much is the Palestinian’s own damn fault, but they still have to get their land back and the Occupation can’t go on forever.
I suppose it is helpful Abbas’s enemies are nice.
@fuster
“Occupation can’t go on forever”
Thats not how life workss. Stupid hurts. Maybe we should give the drug panes back to the cartels?
How many Christian have the Muslims killed today.
do you think it will be any different if Arabs take over Israel ?
Egypt: Muslim students murder Christian classmate for wearing a crucifix
“Coptic Christian Student Murdered By Classmates for Wearing a Cross,” from AINA, October 30
Major—Israel can’t keep the territories and it knows as much….despite whether you or I or the Yesha Council agree, life doesn’t work so that Israel gets to continue the repression.
It’s going to be some kind of deal, pretty soon.
The Palistinians have a theme park, a luxuty mall and receive money from the US among others. They are hardly living in squalor. Unfortunately they lack ambition and incentive as the only crop they raise are children and their only export, suicide bombers and terrortists.
Jews are, and have always been indiginous to the Middle East.

PA President Mahmoud Abbas raised this claim in his research, as testified by a professor of political science at Bir Zeit University, Dr. Samih Hamouda:
“The department of political science at Bir Zeit University, in cooperation with Madar [The Palestinian Center for Israeli Studies], held a political symposium yesterday… Professor Samih Hamouda, from the department of political science at Bir Zeit University, presented an analysis of the research studies of President Mahmoud Abbas, on the subject of Zionist ideology. Prof. Hamouda said that in his writings and research, the President linked Zionism with imperialism, by examining the reasons for the growth of Zionism, through scientific analysis of European society and the problem of Jews in Europe, and linked this with western aspirations in the Arab East. He added, ‘In the President [Abbas's] studies, the Zionist movement is not Jewish, nor did it flow from the desire of the Jews themselves; rather, it was an imperialist colonialist movement which sought to use the Jews and to enlist them for the benefit of the western colonialist plans.’”

myrtle—-They are hardly living in squalor.
myrtle, sweety, despite Hamas’ water park…..they pretty much ARE living in squalor.
go look at pictures and stories about the refugee camps…and not from the Israeli sites or the Palestinian sites…..find some fairly neutral news reporting and look.

they live like that by their choosing…
they live on donations form other countries and the UN
because of the donations… their own manufacturing base is vanishing
It looks like the State Department is obeying Congress on the withholding of UNESCO funding if they recognize the Paliscum.

Now we wait and see how long it takes Barry to find a way around them.
Maybe an Executive Order?
He dont want to hear the truth about the teleban his universal transtaors tunred off
not really, Rob, is it of their choosing. they’ve fucked up enough to have gotten themselves into their mess, but in every refugee camp in the neighboring Arab states, the Palestinians are oppressed by their “friends’ as much or more than by the Israelis.
they’re a pitiful mess and they’re not gonna do anything much continue to be miserable and pissed-off and more plentiful until they can have some of their land back.
the sad truth is that they can’t be penned up forever because it’s no good for them, the Israelis, us or anybody.

I hope you need a transfusion.

Liberals are thoroughly enjoying this. Embolden by Obama’s rhetoric (pullback 1967), they are done negotiating because they will never recognize Israel. But the liberals say “let’s keep negotiating a two state solution.” They say no, Democrats say let’s talk. They say no again, Democrats say let’s talk. What is there to talk about? WTF?!?
yeah, Johnny and the South will rise again……the check’s in the snail.
How is this bird still president?
His term expired 40 months ago and he hasn’t been re-elected nor has there even been an election.
Keep them checks coming. He costs less than Solyndra.
