Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has been saying one thing to Palestinians and another to American audiences. Abbas has declared that “not a single Israeli” will exist in future Palestinian state.
Surprise!
It actually should not be any surprise. What remains surprising is that anyone would expect him to do anything different.
Deceit is an established tactic used by jihadists to fool infidels and lure them to trust them, much like a predator giving candy to children. Western non-Muslims are still falling for this. Islamic deception is becoming well known in the West; Abbas’ words here are an exhibit of it.
“Abbas Sends Contradictory Messages to American, Palestinian Audiences,” Breaking Israel News, April 8, 2019:
When talking to a group of visiting Harvard students last week about a future division of Jerusalem, Palestinian Authority leader Abbas declared that “the holy sites will remain open to the three [monotheistic] religions at all times. It will be forbidden to prevent any person—Christian, Jew, Muslim—from going and performing his religious rituals.” (Official P.A. TV, March 24, 2019).
Palestinian Media Watch has shown that these remarks directly contradict previous statements made by Abbas, in which he explicitly called for Palestinian violence to prevent Jews from going to Judaism’s holiest site—the Temple Mount. The P.A. chief has repeatedly said that the entire Temple Mount belongs to the Muslims alone, and that the Jews “have no right to defile [it] with their filthy feet.” (Official P.A. TV, Sept. 16, 2015 and official website of P.A. chairman Abbas, Sept. 16, 2015). In 2015, he explicitly called for violence to prevent Jews on the Temple Mount, saying he blessed “every drop of blood spilled for Jerusalem.”
In 2014, Abbas called for Palestinians to “prevent” Jews from “defiling” the Muslim and Christian holy places, urging his people to “prevent them” (the Jews) from entering the Temple Mount. Official P.A. TV, which is controlled by Abbas, emphasized the importance of this statement by rebroadcasting it 19 times in three days. Fatah rebroadcast this speech again on July 15, 2017 and Nov. 28, 2018 on their official Facebook page.
Abbas’s tolerant statement to the American students also contradicts the policy of his advisor on religious and Islamic affairs, the PA..’s Supreme Shari’ah Judge Mahmoud Al-Habbash. Just last month, Al Habbash condemned the European Union for using the term “Temple Mount,” thereby acknowledging the Jewish connection to the site and the existence of a Jewish Temple in the past, instead of only referring to the location with the Muslim name “Haram al-Sharif,” the Noble Sanctuary.
He demanded that the “E.U. re-examine this statement, avoid harming the Palestinian people’s rights, and retract this term that inherently implies recognition of the occupation state’s right to Jerusalem’s Noble Sanctuary (i.e., Temple Mount), to which the Palestinian people and its leadership firmly object.” (WAFA, official P.A. news agency, March 25, 2019).
P.A. government spokesman Yusuf Al-Mahmoud stressed this fundamental P.A. ideology that the P.A. does not limit its “Muslim ownership” to the Al-Aqsa mosque structure but rather claims the entire Temple Mount compound as part of “the Al-Aqsa mosque,” and “belonging to Muslims only.” (Official P.A. daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, Feb. 19, 2019)
On Feb. 18, 2019, Muslims stormed the “Gate of Mercy,” an area on the Temple Mount that had been sealed off by an Israeli court order after being used by Hamas and the banned Islamic Movement to teach hatred and incite violence. In response to the arrest of several people who participated, the following day, P.A. Jerusalem District Governor Adnan Ghaith proclaimed that the “blessed Al-Aqsa mosque belongs to the Muslims only, and that the steps of escalation against the Al-Aqsa mosque harm the sensibilities of the people of Jerusalem.” (Official P.A. daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, Feb. 19, 2019)
Echoing this claim, Al-Aqsa mosque preacher Sheikh Muhammad Salim, repeated that “the Al-Aqsa mosque belongs solely to Muslims.” (Official P.A. daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, March 2, 2019)……

Jewish communities older than Islam got liquidated, their survivors took refuge in Israel, Nazis colonised the Arab world, the new superpowers looked away. +1 for BH’s post.

elee.
“Nazis colonized the Arab world.”
On what evidence do you base this claim?
perceptor1 says
No! The Nazis colonized Czechoslavakia and Poland.

Well, the Fascists did briefly have a presence in Ethiopia and north Africa, but that’s about it.

Any person with two brain cells that allow reading, and two that allow understanding, can read and understand that the land of Israel, which includes all of Jerusalem, and the site of Solomon’s Temple, and the Second Temple built upon the “return” from Babylon, was given by God…Who owns all of the earth as its Creator…to the Jews, to the Hebrews.
He did not give the land or Jerusalem to the enemies of His Chosen People. He did not give the land to moslims. He never gave Jerusalem or the Temple Mount to moslims.
The moslim “leaders” are a bunch of lying snakes, just like their “father, the devil.”
Almighty God will give to them everything they deserve.
Rarely says
So your point is that the muslims should read the Bible and believe it? How clever of you. Good luck with that. Don’t forget to send Bibles to the misled Hindus and Buddhists too. Such misinformed heathens!!

As I wrote: any person with two brains cells that allow reading, and two brains cells that allow understanding…..
You have missed the “point” entirely.

I must be missing one of those brain cells. Please explain your point so simpletons like me can understand it.

Well, if you can’t understand the plain language used in my comment, no explanation would be simple enough for you.
Rarely says
What you seem to be saying is that muslims should understand and accept that the Hebrew G’d gave Israel to the Jewish people. I wouldn’t try that argument in a court of law.
gravenimage says
Israel is a democratic nation surrounded by Jihadi thugs who want to destroy her and slaughter all her people.
Is Rarely OK with this?
Westman says
It would be a rather dense European student who doesn’t perceive that, “Pay For Slay”, is a complete contradiction to the lies coming from Abbas’ mouth about Jews being permitted in any future Palestinian State.
Not only would Jews be killed and/or expelled from a Palestinian State, there would be endless attacks on Israel from that “state” by militants(who ignore Abbas and the PA) whose only goal is the elimination of Israel. There is no “Peace Deal” possible, with Muslims and Islam, that will bring lasting peace to Israel.
This is the real stumbling block to a Palestinian State: There is no true authority who speaks for the “Palestinians” and has full control. Without a single authority there is no one with whom Israel can form a valid peace agreement.
Rarely says
I’ve heard it said that: “In ancient times it was considered a miracle if an ass could speak. My how times have changed”. Abbas is a leading example of the “changed times”.
mortimer says
The ‘miracle’ here is how the Leftards swallow his hot, steaming taqiyya and assure him it was delicious..

Rob says
Abbas is simply Arafat reincarnated. Didn’t Arafat get home from Camp David and his meeting with Carter and Rabin and declare ‘It’s jihad as usual’?
mortimer says
Bravo to Westman for a very lawyerly argument: ““Pay For Slay”, is a complete contradiction to the lies” of Abbas.
Moreover, since there are no Jews living in Jordan, why would their be any Jews in a Muslim-dominated ‘Palestine’.
And anyway, when Abbas says ‘Palestine’, doesn’t he really me the union of Jordan all the land west of it to the Mediterranean?
Abbas is playing with words, but his audience is unaware or doesn’t care to know any more than they do now.

Yes–Fatah has the destruction of all of Israel in its charter.
Any “two-state solution” would be temporary at best.
Walter Sieruk says
Abbas is, indeed, a liar. A blatant outright liar. For ,in reality,a “two state solution” of out of the question. This is actually just right and fine .This is because a “two state solution” not really a “solution” but an Islamic ploy of deception , a smokescreen and hoax and a fraud.
Those recent Hamas rocket attacks in to Israel from Gaza reveals that even the idea of some people of 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.]

It doesn’t seem rational to describe the situation as americans fall for ‘palestinian lies’ over and over again. It is a much better description to say that many americans still think they have a somewhat functional press, when the reality is they never did. They do not realize the magnitude of the deception of American schools, media, courts and politicians that claim we have freedom of the press, A constitution, and some sort of capitalist system that will allow the truth to get out. It is good that you Mr. Spencer and your site have pointed out that Abbas has stated that no Jews will remain in muslim administered Judea and Samaria. It should also be mentioned that Jews are forbidden to pray at the Temple on the Mount, and Christian cities like Bethlehem, and their rich tourist industry have been violently taken over by the muslims who have intimidated and terrorized the Christians of Israel.
Imagine what a mountain of evidence there really is pertaining to the millions of Jews, Christians, hindus and others who have been expelled from the middle east, or raped, beaten, forced to convert or to marry and killed while the American and European tv media companies pretended again and again that islam is a religion of peace, and muslims cannot be racist because racism equals power and privilege or whatever stupid slogan schools are teaching leftists to memorize today. The leftist morons don’t even know the definition of racism, which is not dependent on power or privilege. In G-d I trust.

Abbas lies to Harvard students about accepting Jews and Christians in a future divided Jerusalem
……………………..
This should surprise no one. I just wonder how many Harvard students are going to bother to find out this is bullsh*t?
Walter Sieruk says
Abbas is a lying and arrogant man, He even feels that he can overrule God. For God had given all land that now composes the State of Israel, including all of Jerusalem, to the Jewish people. This may be found in the Bible, as seen in, for example, Genesis 28:13-15. 35:10-12. Deuteronomy 32:48,49. Psalm 105:7-11. 135:4. In other words the Jews have all this land by Divine Right. Furthermore, the Jewish people should have this land by historic rights as shown in First Kings 4:20,21, 24,25. 8:55, 56. Still, in all fairness, there is one way for the Muslim members who make up Hezbollah, Hamas and the P.I.J. to convince God to change His Mind about being so much for Israel and then cause Him to turn His back on Israel and then have that nation be no more. That way is for Abbas as well as for the members all jihad organizations to gather together and then change the laws of astrophysics, including those laws of astrophysics the control the sun, the moon and the stars. For God had declared in His Word, the Bible, in Jeremiah 31:35,36. “Thus saith the Lord, Who gives the sun for a light by day and the ordinances of the moon and stars for a light by night…The Lord of host is His name. If those ordinances depart from before Me, saith the Lord, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before Me forever.”

Any action to promote Islam supremacy is good for Muslims.
unbeliever1 says
Of course these students will swallow these pronouncements hook line and sinker.
J D.S says
There is NO SUCH THING AS PALESTINIANS! They are just a bunch of arabs..nomads, Bedouins. etc. jihadist all who are enemies of Israel who have planted themselves on land given to the Jews by GOD Almighty. Repeat..They are enemies of God just as all Muslims are. Any nation that is the enemy of the Jews
stands a good chance of reaping the ire of God and the way things are going in this day and time indicates that these enemies may only have a short time to REPENT BEFORE every knee will bend but please note that one does not have to be a Muslim to reap the ire of God…Ask oneself a question does one want yo be on the side of the bedraggled goats when the knee bends at the return of Jesus or do they want to be counted with the sheep?
