“Mr. Abbas delivered his speech against a backdrop of growing frustration among many Palestinians over the paralysis in peace negotiations with Israel.” Maybe they’d be less frustrated if they stopped shooting rockets into Israel and ended the genocidal anti-Semitic rhetoric on “Palestinian” TV.
In any case, the Oslo Accords were always for the “Palestinians” just a stepping stone toward the total destruction of Israel. Abbas and the other “Palestinian” factions never respected them, and this threatened escalation of the jihad against Israel was inevitable.
“Mahmoud Abbas, Palestinian Authority President, Says He’s No Longer Bound by Oslo Accords,” by Rick Gladstone and Jodi Rudoren, New York Times, September 30, 2015:
Demonstrating a new level of tension with Israel, President Mahmoud Abbas of the Palestinian Authority declared Wednesday that it was no longer bound by the Oslo Peace Accords and subsequent agreements that formed the basis for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
In his annual General Assembly speech, Mr. Abbas accused Israel of having violated the accords and subsequent agreements that outline security, economic and other arrangements. He asserted that there was no reason that the Palestinians should remain faithful to them as long as the Israelis were not.
“We cannot continue to be bound by these signed agreements with Israel and Israel must assume fully all its responsibility as an occupying power,” Mr. Abbas said.
There was no immediate reaction from the Israeli government. Officials said they were studying Mr. Abbas’s speech.
Khalil Shikaki, a leading Palestinian political analyst, said Mr. Abbas’s declaration was “a big deal, no doubt” but would mean “absolutely nothing” on the ground “until he starts taking the steps he mentioned” to curtail security, economic, and civil coordination between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. He said Mr. Abbas would be under tremendous pressure from Palestinians to cut these ties but would probably take weeks or months to follow through.
Mr. Abbas delivered his speech against a backdrop of growing frustration among many Palestinians over the paralysis in peace negotiations with Israel, the most protracted conflict vexing the United Nations since its founding 70 years ago….

Good. In the aftermath of the 1948 War of Independence, Israel’s leaders rightly said, the United Nations Partition Plan was a dead letter. As the Arab world and the so-called “Palestinians” (Abbas’ people) rejected the plan instead opting for wars of annihilation. United Nations itself failed to protect Jerusalem which they designated a Corpus separatum whereby the city “would be placed under international regime, conferring it a special status due to its shared religious importance.”
spot on says
Has anyone ever seen B.O look happier?
Daniel Triplett says
The rules of war are always defined by the actions of our enemy.
Since the Palestinians have declared they won’t recognize International Rules, this sounds to me like a license for the Israelis to level the entire Palestinian District.
Let’s get this over with already.
Lioness says
Right on. So there will be a few demonstrations – they are anyway hate fests against Israel, and muslims will riot – they riot anyway, but at least it will be over with. Israel should level the whole stinking Palestinian territory, Abbas included, and be done with it once and for all. And while they are at it, get rid of the Muslim population inside Israel, who actively are working towards the destruction of Israel.
Don McKellar says
How can you have a “peace process” that goes on for seventy years and is punctuated by breakouts of wars brought on between sporadic rocket fire and genocidal rants by the “palestinians” whole time? I grit my teeth every time I hear or read the term “peace process” in connection with this fiasco. There is no “peace process” — only the constant drone of the drums of jihad waiting for the next attack, which is going to happen sooner or later no matter what.
Jerry says
The “Peace Process” as “understood” by the “Palestinians” a.k.a Muslim Arabs in and near Israel,
just like any other aspect of Islam as the “Religion of Peace” as articulated in Western languages by the apologists and proponents of Jihadi Terorism, is explained somewhat differently in Arabic in the Qur’an and the Hadith which simply call for a genocide, not only of Zionists and Israeli Jews in Israel abut also of all Jews wherever they are.
(See Article Seven of the Hamas Covenant which in turn contains a direct quotation from the Hadith as articulated by Bukhari).
Dim witted Christians, Hindus and Atheists fail to recognise and admit that the Islamic genocidal agenda will never be satisfied only by the Islamic extermination of all Jews but will be followed by the genocide of all other non-Muslims, including the Leftard/Lefturd non Muslims Islam and Jihad apologists. They still stand to be beheaded by Islamists and their wives and daughters sold as sex slaves.
Myxlplik says
Oh I don’t know what the press is going to do, they are gearing up to cry a Niagra Falls river of tears over all the peaceful Muslims killed by Russians in Syria. I fear they might have some sort of heart attack due to dehydration if peaceful Muslims declare all out war on Israel and start getting killed too… quick get the I.V.’s ready.
silvergreycat says
Myxlplik,

Jerry says
Beware of Islamic “pacifists” wearing suicide vests and bearing IEDs and home made and Iranian supplied rockets.
Don McKellar says
No doubt Abbas has been given the green light by Obama using some secret method of communication. As we must all realize by now, Obama is implicated in virtually all things to advance the forces of Islam both abroad and at home in some way. He is an active participant either overtly or covertly, through action or inaction when appropriate. This has been his consistent pattern throughout his presidency as has been noted and analyzed and proved time and time again here on Jihad Watch. One can only guess at what’s going to happen next — but it will involve Obama in some way. Count on it.
Lia Wissing says
Just look at Mr Obama’s smile for Mr Abbas: it shines, even in the dusk.
Jack Diamond says
Arafat immediately invoked the (“peace”) Treaty of Hudaybiyyah when he was criticized over Oslo. A 10-year treaty Muhammad threw to the winds as soon as his forces were strong enough to attack. Muslims are not bound to treaties with infidels except when it suits their purposes to do so. As illustrated by these remarks, how the Oslo Accords were always understood by them:
“The Oslo Accords are not the dream of the Palestinian people. However, there would never have been resistance in Palestine without Oslo. Oslo is the effective and potent greenhouse whish embraced the Palestinian resistance. Without Oslo, there would never have been resistance. In all the occupied territories, we could not move a single pistol from place to place. Without Oslo, and being armed through Oslo, and without the Palestinian Authority’s “A” areas, without the training, the camps, the protection afforded by Oslo, and without the freeing of thousands of Palestinian prisoners through Oslo – this Palestinian resistance and we would not have been able to create this great Palestinian Intifada.”
—–Ziyad Abu Ein, PA Deputy Minister of Prisoners’ Affairs Al-Alam TV (Iran), July 4, 2006]
“Had the U.S. and Israel realized, before Oslo, that all that was left of the Palestinian National movement and the Pan-Arab movement was a wooden horse called Arafat or the PLO, they would never have opened their fortified gates and let it inside their walls…
This effort [the Intifada] could have been much better, broader, and more significant had we made it clearer to ourselves that the Oslo agreement, or any other agreement, is just a temporary procedure, or just a step towards something bigger… We distinguish the strategic, long-term goals from the political staged goals, which we are compelled to temporarily accept due to international pressure. … [Palestine] according to the higher strategy [is]: ‘from the river to the sea.’ Palestine in its entirety is an Arab land, the land of the Arab nation.”
—Faisal Husseini, Palestinian Authority Representative for Jerusalem Affairs Al-Arabi’ (Egypt), June 24, 2001
“It doesn’t mean that we don’t want the 1948 borders (all of Israel), but in our current political program we [Fatah] say we want a state on the 1967 borders… We [Palestinians] were created on this land in order to liberate it, to live on it, to continue as people of Ribat (religious conflict/war over land claimed to be Islamic). We are on the land of Ribat, and must remain [on it] until Resurrection.”
—-Najat Abu-Bakr, Fatah member of Palestinian Legislative Council: Official Palestinian Authority TV, Aug. 25, 2008]
“This agreement [the Oslo Accords], I am not considering it more than the agreement which had been signed between our Prophet Muhammad and Quraish.”
—Arafat, speech in Johannesburg, May 10, 1994]

Angemon says
Much like muhammad accused the Meccans of breaking the treaty of Hudaybiyya…
Jack Diamond says
This is strange coming from a President (Abbas) going on the 12th year of his 4 year term in office?
Ernie says
Dear Jack , coming from such an ” Übermensch ” as Abbas , I’m not amazed at all . It is as logical as his attending the world-leaders meeting in Paris after the Charlie Hebdo murders and the murders in a Jewish delicatessen…… . The islamic logic is , that for us ( Kufaar/Untermenschen ) there are other “rules”.
Plutarchus7 says
DAMN ISRAELIS!
Can’t they see (as Obama says) that they have a real, true, committed peace partner in Abbas? That he’s really, truly, committed to destroying Israel peacefully, not violently? What’s wrong with them?

Rob says
Perhaps as a first step toward his new found sense of independence, Mr Abbas could cough up what he owes Israel for power. Millions of $$
45charkie says
Abbas thinks that by unilaterally backing out of the Oslo Accords he makes Israel an illegal occupier of the area C of the West Bank. Shows how dumb Palestinians really are.
DeMolay says
The last thing the leaders of Hamas etc want is peace. Their billionaire status fleecing their own people would come to an end.
It’s all a charade and propaganda to make Israel look bad and keep themselves rich.
Let the Arab world have another go at attacking Israel and then Israel can take some more land.
The hundreds of thousands of Muslims who come out to protest about Israel and Palestine (but fail to materialise for any ‘not in my name’ anti terror marches) have no connection to Palestine. It’s all about Jew hatred as laid out in the Qur’an. They thirst for genecide and another holocaust, in fact the mufti of Jerusalem agreed to continue the final solution after WW2 with Hitler.
The planet doesn’t need these animals using oxygen. They’re beyond hope
Donovan Nuera says
At least Stavanger, Norway’s city council cancelled their “sister-city” designation with Nablus after Abbas helped sanction the Nablus city plaza be named in honor of a PA terrorist who killed many Israeli civilians in various attacks. Unleash Israel, please!
Lia Wissing says
Thank you, Stavanger!!! You gladden our hearts.
Mirren10 says
What an utterly **sickening** photograph.
How I loathe and despise obama. May he rot in hell.
Wellington says
Yes, Mirren, Obama is despicable. As I have written before here at JW, he has done more damage to America and in more ways than any other person in all of American history. I take on all challengers to prove me wrong here (preferably over several pitchers of beer). He is indeed appalling. I simply can’t watch the man anymore. I will read the nonsense he spouts to keep informed of his latest blunders but actually watching him speak is beyond the Pale for me.
Hope you are doing well in a world where it is becoming increasingly difficult to be doing well. Best to you, Mirren.
Wellington says
When was he ever?
jwm says
since when was the Palestinian Authority ever bound by the Oslo Accords?? it was a complete failure by Jimmy Carter that bound Israel to demands by the Muslim occupiers of Palestine. can’t think of any time after signing that it meant anything other than a talking point while these same Muslim terrorists attacked.
Jeremiah says
Close the Mosque for a day for every terror attack in Jerusalem and every rocket fired from Gaza. Linking the closure of the Temple Mount to terrorism will be more constructive than linking it to “occupation”.
Ed says
Maybe Putin can strike the isis equivalent of gaza…
Lia Wissing says
Or the muslim mosquetrosity on Temple Mount …
Ralph says
This is a blistering and pinpoint accurate assessment of Obama’s treachery and utter failure as the Commander-In-Chief. It is deservedly withering fire at the worst president imaginable and biggest traitor in history. This is hot and on target. A great summary of Obama’s military blundering and relentless lying.
“Obama’s better idea is the lie…
Obama lies about the motives and agendas of Islamic Jihadists. He lied about his success in Afghanistan. He lied about the end of the war, the reasons for the large American death toll and his transition plans.”
Obama doesn’t have better ideas. He has lie-deas, and they all have three things in common: they are always lies, they always get Americans killed, and they invariably hurt America as a nation. He imposed rules of engagement that resulted in scores of our getting guys killed just so he could mask his surrender.
Ignoring his military advisers, no doubt, his strategy continues to lose what we had won, and now a major city has to be re-taken the hard way because he cares more about how he is perceived than using air cover to prevent casualties on our side. His malignant narcissism will cost more American lives, but he doesn’t care. Obscuring his own failure means far more to him than the mere lives of the men he unfortunately commands.
“Like Obama, the Taliban are evil. Unlike him, they aren’t also lazy and incompetent.”
That sums it up brilliantly. Another difference between Obama and the Taliban is that the Taliban doesn’t set up their fighters to lose or die so that a cowardly narcissist can pull off a lie.
What a despicable excuse for a man. What a contemptible excuse for a Commander-In-Chief. What a perfect example of human evil.
Lenny Thetruth says
Since when did Abbas ever abide by the Oslo Accord? When have the Arabs ever followed through on any agreement? The P.A. has never done anything to help preserve peace. They say one thing to the world (woe is me), and another to their own people. There is so much corruption, as well as high paid officials, that they don’t pay their bills.
If the accord is broken, and anybody wants to fix it, they will not be Israel. Israel needs to start treating them as outlaws, hunting them down, and putting away life prisoners for life. No more bargains. No more swaps. Israel has always let the Arabs treat them with disdain, and that has got to stop.
David Church says
So what’s new? The Koran teaches Muslims that they do not have to keep agreements with nonMuslims and to lie. This makes Allah the father of lies and the greatest of deceivers (Quran 3:54; 8:30). The Bible calls him Satan, the Devil, the accuser of the bretheran, the Adversary, the father of lies, etc..
