Abbas: Stop global terrorism by ending the 'Israeli occupation of Palestine'

[ericson00]

Global terrorism will end iff the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is resolved, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said on Thursday as he condemned all forms of such violence.

“We are against terrorism in whatever form it may take and whoever carries it out,” he said as he delivered a long address before the European Parliament in Brussels. Palestinians stand with the Europeans in their fight against terrorism, Abbas said.

His statement was greeted by strong applause from the politicians in the room.


“In order to overcome terrorism, we also need to end Israeli occupation by creating a Palestinian State within the 1967 borders with east Jerusalem as its capital,” Abbas said. He spoke in Arabic and his words were translated into English by the EU.

If anyone else had said these words, it would be called a threat! Also, if the terrorists of Orlando, San Bernadino, Tel Aviv, Paris, London, New York, etc. really did do what they did "because Israel," they have demonstrated why they are terrorists.

Also, maybe Abbas can tell the world why Radicals Islamists act in countries both allied and not allied to the US and Israel, alike. And why so many other countries, and those ones two, have spent billions to thwart other attacks.

3. Extortion by the "moderate" Abbas.

"Give me what I want or the terror continues."

What makes anyone believe the terror would stop if Abbas got exactly what he wanted?

Nothing.

4. hopefully, maybe some good can come from Brexit;

that the EU's consistent bootlicking of Abbas and the PA will carry less weight.

6. Abbas is threatening Israel with the effects of the occupation.

The effects will happen with or without Abbas, which is a little bit like Al Gore threatening the world with global warming.

5. That's a bold claim.

However, there's a correlation between the oppression of Palestinians and violence against Israel. It would also improve the general stability in the region if the Palestinian refugees had a homeland to go back to. Lebanon is a case in point - would there ever had been a war between Israel and Lebanon if there wouldn't have been any Palestinian refugees in Lebanon?
