‘We do not challenge legitimacy of Israel’ - Abbas

MotherForTruth
President Mahmoud Abbas has exclusively told RT that he cannot understand why the Palestinian bid for full UN membership and peace negotiations with Israel should not happen in parallel.

The Palestinian president is well aware of American and Israeli accusations of acting unilaterally in making a bid for Palestinian statehood at the UN, but, he says, Palestinians have been waiting in vain since 1947, when UN Resolution 181 on separate states of Israel and Palestine was adopted. Yet while the state of Israel was created, the Palestinian one has existed on paper only.

Abbas insisted that it was not the existence or legitimacy of Israel that was being questioned, but the legitimacy of the occupation of Palestinian territories and ongoing Israeli settlement activities that are the stumbling blocks.

      how many times did arafat say the same shit to the west, only to present the opposite narrative at home?

      israeli nutjubs just fucked up a mosk this week, and the israeli government condemed it.
      can we get a nod from the palestinians that they are serious about respecting one anothers right to live by acknowledging any of the shit they have done?
      the fogels?
      the bus bombings?
      the qassams?
      suicide bombings?
      ramallah massacres?
      i mean any of them would be nice.
      send just one overture that a palestinian government can respect the existance of a jew.
      just one.
      what about hamas?
      hamas hasnt changed shit in their charter,still calling for the destruction of israel.and they are half of the team are they not?
