Bassam Tawil—Palestinians: Abbas’s Big Bluff – Again: 

PLO leaders who met in Ramallah on January 15 recommended that the Palestinians revoke their recognition of Israel.

The recommendation came in response to US President Donald Trump’s announcement recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

The PLO leaders also advised their leadership to suspend security coordination with Israel. They also called for revising all agreements signed with Israel, including the Oslo Accords.

The meeting of the PLO Central Council was chaired by President Mahmoud Abbas, who in the past few weeks has chosen to embark on an open collision course with the US administration, possibly in the hope that US Department of State will back down as it always previously has.

Abbas has been in a belligerent mode since Trump’s December 6 announcement on Jerusalem. In a speech before the PLO Central Council session, Abbas mocked Trump and hurled abuses at him. Abbas said he hoped God would “destroy” Trump’s house. The Arabic Yakhrab baytu means “May his house be destroyed”. According to The Guardian, Abbas “did not literally mean the White House or Trump Tower. But its wider sense is unmissable.”

Abbas’s speech also contained anti-Semitic remarks in which he claimed that Israel was a colonialist project that had nothing to do with Judaism.

Abbas also directed his hate against the Arab countries and those Palestinians who oppose his policies and autocratic leadership.

His hateful remarks against the US administration and Israel reflect the growing state of isolation in which the Palestinian leader recently finds himself.

Although Abbas did not mention the Arab countries by name, it was obvious that he was referring to Saudi Arabia and Egypt when he demanded that the Arab world stop meddling in the internal affairs of the Palestinians. This was a speech by a leader who feels that he is becoming more irrelevant with every day that passes.

SnyderTalk Comment:

Mr. President, please call Abbas’ bluff.  He and his cronies have been getting away with murder, literally, for a very long time.  They need an attitude adjustment.

Switching Gears

See “Canada: “Islamophobia Day”? Are You Kidding?”.

Under Justin Trudeau, Canada is a serious problem.

This is a picture of Justin Trudeau as a baby in the arms of Fidel Castro who is standing beside Trudeau’s mother.

This is a picture of an older Justin Trudeau beside a picture of Fidel Castro.

Draw whatever conclusions you think make sense.

Switching Gears Again

See “Macron said to tell Abbas not to rule out Trump peace plan”.

They call it leadership.

Macron and other European leaders are making a public display of their displeasure with President Trump, but behind the scenes, they are lining up behind him.

Wake up America.
