Palestinian leader Mahmud Abbas will seek EU support in Brussels on Monday amid bitter acrimony with the United States….Abbas is now turning to EU “to officially recognise the state of Palestine ‘as a way to respond’ to US President Donald Trump’s decision to recognise Jerusalem as the Israeli capital.
Abbas made a tactical choice in turning to the EU, given the EU’s ongoing surrender to Islamization; however, he still is not getting any commitments.
Abbas is convulsing with rage over Trump not buying into his jihadist propaganda, which includes demonization and delegitimization of Israel. Abbas recently delivered a speech “in which he ruled out a peace process as long as Donald Trump is US president – after parts of Trump’s Middle East peace plan were leaked to him by the Saudis.” He admitted that Trump’s declaration of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel was not the big reason for ruling out a peace plan, but there were specific aspects to Trump’s plan that left him seething. They included the creation of “a Palestinian entity that is less than a state,” and a refusal to return to pre-1967 lines.
Abbas has also threatened to rescind the PA’s recognition of Israel, a calculatingly propagandist threat, considering that the PA has never actually recognized Israel as a Jewish state in the first place; even worse, it is in the PA charter to obliterate Israel.
“Abbas Seeks EU Support for Palestinians Amid Row With U.S.”, Breitbart, January 22, 2018:
BRUSSELS (AFP) – Palestinian leader Mahmud Abbas will seek EU support in Brussels on Monday amid bitter acrimony with the United States, but he looks unlikely to get much the in way of concrete commitments.
In an interview with AFP on Sunday in Brussels, Palestinian foreign minister Riad al-Malki said Abbas would urge the European Union to officially recognise the state of Palestine “as a way to respond” to US President Donald Trump’s decision to recognise Jerusalem as the Israeli capital.
Abbas, who last week denounced US President Donald Trump’s peace efforts as the “slap of the century”, will also “reiterate his commitment to the peace process” in the Middle East, Malki said in an interview with AFP in Brussels.
The 82-year-old Abbas will meet EU diplomatic chief Federica Mogherini and the bloc’s 28 foreign ministers on the sidelines of their monthly meeting, after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a similar trip last month.
“Since Trump’s decision has altered the rules of the game, he (Abbas) expects the European foreign ministers to come forward and collectively recognise the state of Palestine as a way to respond back to Trump’s decision,” Malki said.
– No recognition likely –
But diplomats and officials in Brussels say recognition for Palestine is not on the cards on Monday — the EU leaves recognition in the hands of individual members — and the best Abbas can hope for is progress towards an “association agreement” with the bloc.
Some countries, notably France, are understood to be keen to give Abbas something concrete to take away.
But others are more cautious and a senior EU official said for now launching talks on an association remained “something we should aim towards”.
A formal agreement would bring certain obligations the Palestinian Authority would have to fulfill, the senior official said, and currently it “does not have that full sovereign capacity”.
Malki told AFP that while the Palestinian Authority was “very serious” about an association agreement, they also expected to be formally recognised as a state.
“One does not replace the other. Absolutely not,” he said.
Abbas will urge the EU to take on a bigger role in trying to move peace efforts forward, Malki said, declaring American “exclusivity and monopoly” in the process is over and a new “multilateral” framework was needed.
Abbas’s mission to Brussels comes as US Vice President Mike Pence visits Israel during a tour of the Middle East with Arab anger still smouldering over Washington’s declaration on Jerusalem.
“It is an important coincidence. It will give a picture of a balance between the European Union and the United States in the area — Abu Mazen with the Europeans and Pence with the Americans. That is an important image for Abu Mazen,” analyst Jihad Harb, of the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research, told AFP. Abu Mazen is a common Arabic moniker for Abbas.
The Palestinian leadership, furious over the Jerusalem decision, has said it will not accept the Trump administration as a mediator in peace talks with Israel and wants an internationally-led process.
“The Palestinians are looking to move away from a US-led process to a more a multilateral process and there does appear to be a greater willingness on the EU side to look at such a process,” Hugh Lovatt, Israel Palestine Project Coordinator at the European Council on Foreign Relations, said…..

savage mad devil Trump cannot kill Palestinian state recognised by International community under UN résolution No. 181 as a multilatéral treaty. Evil United states and fascist evil zionist state of Israel can continue with their illegalities, but Will never be accepted by international community. They are only deceiving themselves with dream of hegemony, which has now ended, and it cannot be resuscitated forever. people, including Europe, are tired of such rascality by mad devil Trump and his Masters the fascist evil zionists.

In 1948, the arab muslims did not recognized the UN resolution aiming to the creation of 2 states, jewish and palestinian. Now you’re waving the UN resolution #181 to condemn the Jews? You hypocrite.

I’m at a loss for the reason even G Soros would have to pay someone like Ibrahim to do what he does here.
It is sad that Mfritz is turning to name calling recently.
Thomas Kimball says
Screw Abbas and the Palestinians! When they want to act like human beings and respect basic human rights ,not trying to make others live under a stupid seventh century sharia law maybe we can talk. If they want to live that way it’s their business as long as they don’t hurt anybody,but if you want to come to a country like America and you want abuse or kill your WIFE or DAUGHTER then you cross the line and go to jail and after that probably HELL! But with Islamic extremists like Abbas peace will probably never come just continued fighting and the hate generated by the tenants of islam! I do feel sorry for the Palestinians who in their hearts do long for peace!

Let me see the picture the United States of America cuts funding to this terrorist support thief self proclaim leader for life of the Palestinian people. The Thief goes to the EU crying Trump is a big meany putting our Embassy in Jerusalem .The EU looks at this old thief and says sorry buddy we can not help you at this time that peace process that has not move forward in 68 years because of the bullshit you {and your terrorist friends } are selling is way overripe at this time. We the EU have our own problems and cannot afford to throw any money in your beggar,s bowl to keep your corrupt leadership from running out of money at this time. France would like to offer something concrete at this time, maybe he and his family can move there when his fellow Palestinians go Jihad on his ass when the free money ends.

Something concrete ?
Yeah …. a pair of Don Corleone’s concrete shoes

Mahmoud Abbas whose net worth is $100 million in international JIZZYA welfare payments IS NOT RICH ENOUGH!
Don’t we all feel sorry for him?
This is the man who lied right to the face of Pres. Trump, telling him directly that the Pally school system teaches peace, even when they name schools after terrorists who murdered civilians.
Thomas Kimball says
Lying is one of the planks of the platform of islam! I can’t even imagine being part a religion that can’t tell right from wrong,that sanctions lying,rape and murder ! You would think that it would be obvious that this religion is seriously flawed ,but I guess when you start this brainwashing as children it’s hard to overcome!
b.a. freeman says
U hit the nail on the head, Thomas; the ideas to which very young children are exposed (and to which is given corporal reinforcement in later years of childhood) are the hardest to overcome with logic in adulthood. one person posted that the quickest way to solve the problem of islam would be to take all their children away from them and raise them in good ______ homes (atheist, buddhist, christian, hindu, jain, sikh, …). for my taste, that’s far too severe, but the alternative is occupation of muslim-majority nations for several centuries, with islam outlawed the way that nazism was outlawed in germany. it would also have to be outlawed in civilization as well as in cult countries.
Johnny Cuyana says
mortimer, correct you are … where the FACTS speak for themselves: Abbas is the furthest thing from being a fair and honest “representative of the people”. He is, in actual demonstrable fact, a representative for himself and his evil and illegal regime.
In his realm of lies, obfuscation, and brutality, he is the arch-typical mohammedan “strong horse” tyrant: self-serving in grabbing for himself all that he can. Looking at the public record — let alone regarding speculation of that not so public — how could there be any doubt? How can so many of our Western leaders, and those elsewhere, not see this … and condemn it openly?
Aside from the fact that, due to his totally self-serving thieving agenda, he is [as you relayed] fantastically wealthy … he is now serving in his 12th year of his original 4-year term. In explanation: after the election through which he assumed his original position of leadership, despite the expiration of this original term, he has since assumed TOTAL command and control and has bullied his way into what seems to be a “king for life” position. IOW, for all practical purposes, he is ILLEGAL and/because he is a dictator.
He has NO interest in peace; he is no interest in “saving” his people. Yes, like past dictators, he provides the “bread and circuses” but he has interest only in self-serving his immoral and corrupt position. Obviously, he could not care less about “his” people; otherwise, his actions — not necessarily his words — would be completely different.
In view of this maddening situation, the biggest Western challenge is that, as is common is most dictatorships, the PA people have been brainwashed thoroughly and have been fed every excuse in the book — except the factual ones — regarding an explanation for their collective miserable plight. Ideologically, as a result, many of them, perhaps most, are “lost” to any hope for their national[?] and cultural redemption.
Despite our own sins — particularly those of our previous leaders, who, apparently, were totally PC-motivated — it’s way past time that some leader in our Western world is calling-out this maniacal despot; where, further, it’s a crying shame, that POTUS Trump does not have 100% of the remaining leaders of Western [and Eastern] Europe [and others from around the glode] standing behind him solidly; however, for the most part, in our hearts we do know why these milquetoast quislings are not doing so … and such may lead to their deserved downfall. In any event, a truthful retelling of history will not be kind to them appeasers.
Jack Diamond says
It is Islam which regards the loss of any territory consecrated to itself as intolerable obligating jihad to regain it. In this case, you have the added special enmity toward the Jews themselves and the fantasies concerning “al-Quds”. Abbas is no different a kleptomaniac than Arafat, the thief of thieves, or whomever will follow. An Arab Muslim dictator? de rigueur. The bottom line is there will be no peace because Islam will not permit it.

I am glad we have a president who has the balls to cut the JIZZYA welfare from this old thief let him take his sale pitch of paying protection money road show to the EU cowards!

Walter Sieruk says
Abbas saying that the US will longer have any part in the peace talks because of the US embassy move to Jerusalem is really a good thing. This is because those so called “peace talks” are a hoax as well as a bad “joke.” For those “peace talks” involve dividing Jerusalem as well as other parts of the State of Israel between the Jewish people of the Muslim/ Arabs is nothing but folly. To engage the madness of such “talks” is a hoax and a farce .This is because in the so called “negotiations” between the heads of the Jewish nation of Israel and the leaders of the “Palestinians” the Muslim /Arabs the “Palestinian” leaders will speak the truth only when in happens to fit their agenda. The rest of the time the will be speaking half-truths and outright lies. For their goal is to obtain all of the land of the State of Israel ,.Even in it takes much time and it means getting the land piece by piece. So those “peace talks” are a hoax. For the “Palestinian”leaders are employing what is the Islamic doctrine of Taqiyya . Which is the Islamic dogma that lying and deception are good things to do as long as it’s done for the cause of the advancement of Islam. The insidious scheme is part of the stealth jihad .Otherwise known as “Islamic Gradualism.” This sly and something subtle strategy of disingenuous speech, lying deception of achieving the goal of all the land of Israel a war ploy that will be a disaster if the heads of the State of Israel are foolish enough to agree to divide the land of Israel with Muslim /Arabs ,the “Palestinians.” For if such a “peace dialogue” results in a divided land, the outcome will literally be murder. For “Palestinian” leader will allow the jihadists use that land as a base to launch murderous rocked attacks in to Israel. As for example, Hamas of Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon. Such false hopes for peace which are based on the foundation of lies are nothing new when it comes to Israel . For example, the Bible in Psalm 55:20, 21. Reads “Such men do violence to those at peace with them and break their promised word; their speech is smoother the butter but their thoughts are of war.” [N.E.B.]

Jack Holan says
Seriously what has the PA given up for Peace? The PLO and HAMAS Charter call for the elimination of Israel! The message to the public in Arabic is the same and PA maps lack the country called Israel. The Palestinians at the top of your society have grown quite wealthy of International Donations. Terrorists in Prison get paid off International funds dead terrorist families receive stipends from the Via the PA from International Donations Abbas is like a King. Democracy does not actually exist in the PA. When did he last hold an election. You follow the identical pattern of all Arab Despotic Fiefdoms

mFritz, call me any name you like, but the truth has to be clear from the darkness of injustices you are made to support. The pope who is the head of more than 2/3 of world christians has been guided by his conscience and dénoncés the atrocities being committed by fascist evil zionists,and they are planning to eliminate him with their death squad. I know It.
Mr Fritz come back to your sense. I am a real human being, not sponsored by any group. I am self employed with expertise skill from well éducated Arab family from the middleast. M’y parents have chosen to register as Nigerians by naturalisation after serving as
University professors there. m’y Mother even taught many renowned medical scientists in the United states before coming back to Nigeria to register as Nigerian by naturalisation . I am currently in one of the poorest Francpone black African country(i Will not disclose It) rendering skill services. so, i am not a troll as you have been stating.
only that i dislike injustice as evil united states and fascist evil zionist state of Israel are perpetrating in the muslim nations. Take note.
LeftisruiningCanada says
And yet you are seemingly unable to support anything you ever say.
You university professor parents would be ashamed.
LeftisruiningCanada says
You rarely even respond to anything anyone says in reply to something you say…….you can’t be surprised that people think you’re a fake troll Ibrahim.
If you made an effort to act like a rational human being more often, that accusation might go away.
So, how about those Talmud quotes you were going to explain to me?
How about defending your use of fabricated quotes, and even entire books, that don’t exist?
Or the Helen Ellerbe book. I’m ready to know what you were referring to on page 16, or even if i have the same page 16 as you do.
I refer you to where to where we covered that last time:

Every time you try to avoid facing answers to your strange and confused statements, you only make yourself,and islam in general, look even worse.
Is that what you want? Are you you trying to confirm everyone’s negative view of muslims and islam, because that’s exactly what you are doing Ibrahim.
Take note of that.
