Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has declared that the “‘nobody can remove us from our homeland” and “no matter how many houses and how many settlements they declare that they [plan to build] here and there – they shall all be destroyed, Allah willing.” He went on to threaten that “the entire Palestinian nation will enter Jerusalem as millions of fighters, along with the Arab, Islamic, and Christian nations.”
And what is he basing this jihadist fervor upon? The same zeal and motivation that the entire Palestinian “resistance” movement is based on: the Islamic jihad imperative, combined with a self-righteous, bizarre belief that the Palestinians are indigenous to Israel and are, in fact, the “Canaanites who were here 5,000 years ago.”
This is the propaganda that has been forced upon Westerners for decades, but in reality even the Palestinian nationality is invented. “The Palestinians did not start using that namesake until the early 1960s.” The Palestinian territories are really the former Ottoman South Syria. This is what prompted Newt Gingrich to say in 2011 that the Palestinians are “an invented people.“
Abbas is not only “unhinged”; he is dangerous. As he rambled on about Jerusalem belonging to the “Palestinians,” the audience began to chant: “To Jerusalem we march, martyrs by the millions!” Abbas intends to continue inciting violence and murder against Israelis, and the world will no doubt continue to turn a blind eye to his incitement. In fact, the Palestinian jihad has now become a focal point in U.S. politics, thanks to Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar. And in Canada, an online campaign has been launched for the upcoming federal election on October 21, entitled “I vote Palestine.” It is intended to instruct voters to cast their ballots for parties that support the Palestinian cause.
“Abbas: ‘We’ll enter Jerusalem as millions of fighters,'” by Mordechai Sones, Israel National News, August 22, 2019:
Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas said in an address at the Jalazun Refugee Camp near Ramallah that the “Palestinians” cannot be removed from their homeland and that every building built by the Zionist occupation will be destroyed and thrown in the garbage bin of history, reports the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).
In the video, uploaded to to Abbas’ Facebook page on August 10, he claimed that the “Palestinians” are the Canaanites who have lived in Palestine for 5,000 years, and he rejected the conferences in Warsaw and Manama as unacceptable to the “Palestinian people”.
He said that Jerusalem belongs to the “Palestinians”, and the audience began to chant: “To Jerusalem we march, martyrs by the millions!”
Abbas continued, saying that the entire Palestinian nation will enter Jerusalem as millions of fighters, along with the Arab, Islamic, and Christian nations, and he said that he rejects the designation of “Palestinian” martyrs as terrorists…..
“Abbas Unhinged: ‘We Are the Canaanites Who Were Here 5,000 Years Ago,’” by Deborah Danan, Breitbart, August 14, 2019:
TEL AVIV – Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has wildly claimed that Palestinians are indigenous to the land of Israel and are the “Canaanites who were here 5,000 years ago” in a fiery speech he gave over the weekend in which he also declared that Jewish settlements in the West Bank would disappear into “the dustbins of history.”
The Palestinians did not start using that namesake until the early 1960s despite Abbas’s attempt to trace a history to “5,000 years ago.”
His fire-and-brimstone diatribe was delivered during an extremely rare visit to a refugee camp in the West Bank days after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attended a ceremony marking the construction of new homes in the nearby settlement of Beit El, the Times of Israel reported.
“We will remain and no one will be able to move us out of our homeland. He who wants to do that: ‘Go.’ The unexpected visitor in this country has no right in this country. Thus, we tell them: ‘Every brick you laid in our land and every house you built in our land will vanish, if God permits,’” Abbas said, speaking at the Jalazone refugee camp north of Ramallah.
“Whatever homes they announce here or settlements there, they will all disappear, if God wills it. They will be in the dustbins of history and they will remember that this land is for its people, its residents and the Canaanites who were here 5,000 years ago. We are the Canaanites,” he added.
Fatah Central Committee member Abbas Zaki on Tuesday said that Abbas’ comments referred to settlers in the West Bank and not all Israelis……

Following are excerpts:
Mahmoud Abbas: We shall remain [here], and nobody can remove us from our homeland. If they want, they themselves can leave. Those who are foreign to this land have no right to it. So we say to them: Every stone you have [used] to build on our land, and every house you have built on our land, is bound to be destroyed, Allah willing.
[…]
No matter how many houses and how many settlements they declare that they [plan to build] here and there – they shall all be destroyed, Allah willing. They will all go to the garbage bin of history. They shall recall that this land belongs to its people. This land belongs to the people who live on it. It belongs to the Canaanites, who lived here 5,000 years ago. We are the Canaanites!
[…]
We said to them: No to the meetings in Warsaw! No to the meetings in Manama! No to anything that is unacceptable to the Palestinian people! Jerusalem, whatever they call it… “United”… They moved their embassy… Jerusalem is ours whether they like it or not.
Audience: To Jerusalem we march, martyrs by the millions! To Jerusalem we march, martyrs by the millions! To Jerusalem we march, martyrs by the millions!
Mahmoud Abbas: We shall enter Jerusalem – millions of fighters! We shall enter it! All of us, the entire Palestinian people, the entire Arab nation, the Islamic nation, and the Christian nation… They shall all enter Jerusalem. We will not accept their designation of our martyrs as terrorists. Our martyrs are the martyrs of the homeland. We will not allow them to deduct a single penny from their money. All the money will go back to them, because the martyrs, the wounded, and the prisoners are the most sacred things we have.
