Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Abbas contradicts media reports, says “Palestinians” won’t recognize Israel

Apr 26, 2014 10:22 am By Robert Spencer

Once again the mainstream media gets a story wrong, and once again reports falsehoods and half-truths in a way that makes Israel look bad. One might almost think they had a sinister agenda, if everyone didn’t already know that mainstream media reporters were as honest as the day is long.

“Palestinians will not recognise Israel as ‘Jewish’ state,” AGI, April 26, 2014 (thanks to C. Cantoni):

(AGI) Ramallah, April 26 – Palestinians will never recognise Israel as the ‘Jewish’ state, president Mahmud Abbas said on Saturday, when his leadership convened after Israel halted peace talks. Abbas told members of the Palestine Liberation Organisation’s Central Council that although they had recognised Israel in 1993, the Palestinians should not be forced to go a step further and recognise Israel’s religious identity.

This comes right after “Fatah and Hamas Reconcile, Agree To Recognize Israel (Which Then Walks Out of Peace Talks),” by Sara Morrison, The Atlantic Wire, April 24, 2014 (thanks to Maxwell).

The distinction here is that Abbas is saying that the PLO already recognized Israel in 1993, but will never recognize it as a Jewish State. But this is tantamount to no recognition at all. Abbas is saying that he will accept Israel as a state ruled by “Palestinians,” and perhaps one in which Jews are allowed to live as subjugated dhimmis (although “Palestinian” spokesmen have also said that Jews will not be allowed to live in a “Palestinian” state at all). But that is all he is willing to grant, which is nothing at all. The Atlantic Wire and the other mainstream media outlets that do not explain this are once again severely misleading their readers.

    Well, then, it must follow from this that the Western democracies should lift sanctions against HAMAS, and proceed to impose them on Israel–I mean, everyone swills the KoolAi–er, uh–KNOWS that Israel is the main obstacle to PEACE, right??!

    No offence meant to Country & Western singer George Jones’s heartbreak songs, but when it comes to whining the Palestinians are world champs.

    Dance in Mecca
    INFIDELS Take a vacation to dance in the streets of Mecca.

    “Un-believers” (non-Muslims) are forbidden from entering MECCA, Islam’s holiest city and yet
    Palestinian Muslims feel entitled to live in BETHLEHEM and JERUSALEM.
    (They even wish to forbid Jews from these places as well).

    The religious heritage of Jerusalem to Jews (and Christians) is undisputable.
    It is well-documented and is part of the ancient holy land of Israel.
    In contrast, Islam invents a connection to JERUSALEM by pretending its prophet traveled to the city
    on a magical flying horse on a “night flight.” The Jewish Temple to them is a Ground Zero Mosque.
    If Christians and Jews have no right to live in or even enter Islam’s holiest city of Mecca, what right
    does remnants of an invasion of “Muslim occupiers” have to live in the historic holy city of Jerusalem
    or even Bethlehem? Islam’s obviously false “claim” that Jesus might be an earlier Prophet of Islam,
    the same religion of HONOR KILLINGS and FATWAS is quite outlandish.
    Using their own logic, Muslims have no right to even enter Jerusalem or Bethlehem, yet they criticize Jews
    who build settlements. Are Christian and Jewish historic sites safe from their extremist’s desperate attempts
    at relevance? Remember the destruction of the ancient Bamiyan statues of the Buddha in Afghanistan.
    The reason Islam is so desperate to control the holy cities of JERUSALEM and BETHLEHEM is the jealous false hope that it might eventually destroy Judaism and Christianity. Throughout history Islam has tried to explain itself by finding enemies to justify its cruel existence. Without enemies Islam is nothing but empty vanity flaunting undeserved self-righteous indignation jealously pretending to be a religion. In other words Islam is less than nothing. It has no other choice but to try to destroy Judaism and Christianity rather than risk being shown for
    what it truly is by comparison, “a tainted political ideology.”

    ISLAM IS NOT A RELIGION – HAS NEVER BEEN A RELIGION and (likely) WILL NEVER BE A RELIGION.

    Abbas refuses to recongize the State of Israel because he hates the Jewish people. One of the reasons that he and many other Muslims hate the Jewish people so much is that the Quran teaches that Jews are “apes and swine.” [2:65:7:166; 5:60] The reason as toto why the Quran reads like this is because of Muhammad. It’s not so much the question “Was Muhammad a prophet?” It’s better stated “Was Muhammad a prophet sent by God or was Muhammad a false prophet sent by Satan to lead many people astray?” After all Jesus did warn “Beware of false prophet which comes to you in sheep’s clothing but are inwardly ravening wolves.” Matthew 7:15. The Bible further warns that “many false prophets are gone forth into the world.” First John 4:1. To give the acid test if a prophet, teacher, or religion is teaching truth of falsehoods is if the prophet, teacher or religion has teaching and doctrines that are in according to God’s Word, the Bible. That if a person or religion has teachings and doctrines that are in contradiction to God’s Word then that prophet, teacher or religion is false. As Isaiah 8:20. explains “To the law of the testimony : If they speak not according to the word , it is because there is no light in them.” [KJV] Islam denies that Jesus is the Son of God. This is in contrast to the Bible which teaches that Jesus is indeed the Son of God, John 3:16, 17, and 36. First John 2:22, 23. Likewise. Islam denies that Jesus is God the Son. In contrast to Islam the Bible teaches that Jesus is God the God. As seen in Hebrews 1:6-8 with emphasis on verse 8. Furthermore, Islam denies that Jesus is God. This is in strong contradiction to the Bible which teaches that Jesus is God. As shown, for example, in John 1:1-3. Romans 9:5. Colossians 1:15-17. First John 5:20. Second Peter 1; 1. Titus 2:13. Moreover, by comparing the Old Testament with the New Testament will further show that Jesus is God, As in by comparing Isaiah 45:22,23. With Philippians 2:5-11. Will show Jesus is God. Also by comparing Psalm 89:8,9. With Matthew 8:23-27 will further confirm Jesus to be God. Even by comparing the New Testament book together will confirm Jesus to be God. As in John 5:22 with Romans 14:12 will show Jesus to be God. The list can go on but this should be enough. The imams and mullahs will try to “explain” this all away by claiming that Christians had corrupted the Bible through time. This claim greatly underestimates the power of God to preserve His Word in time and keep it intact and away from the corruption of men. In conclusion, Muhammad was a false prophet and Islam is a false religion, Proverbs 14:12. John 14:6.

    In the Koran, Allah commands the Children of Israel to dwell in the land.

    So what’s new, Abbas?

    I do not understand why some people consider it important that the PA recognize Israel as a Jewish state. For that matter, why should the Israeli government care? Israel will be the kind of state Israelis want it to be. Does the USA recognize Israel as a Jewish state?

    What I think Israel wants is to to have a semblance of normal relations with a neighbor. Among other things, that means an end to instigating or tolerating missile attacks and terrorist attacks. It means cooperation on a range of issues that affect Jews and Arabs alike- trade, environmental issues. It means accepting your right to exist. It does not, as I see it, mean accepting the religious nature of your government.

    Abbas (looney Abu Mazan) speaks with fork-ed tongue, as he follows the official
    holy deceptions taught by ped Mo. Our local red rag had the headline that Abbas said he would recognize Israel — but at end of article was the rejection claim. False headline was to make Israel the non-compromiser!

    Abbas will not recognize Israel just like khalifa Barak will NEVER approve that pipeline. neither will compromise with their opponents. Abu Mazan must not be permitted to linger on and cause trouble like that rat, Yasser! After the next
    rocket attack, his every known hideout and office should be levelled!
