He probably figured Alzheimers Joe wouldn’t notice, or wouldn’t care, and he was probably right.
“Abbas calls to end “74 years of… occupation” – Israel – at press conference with US President Biden,” by Maurice Hirsch and Nan Jacques Zilberdik, Palestinian Media Watch, July 19, 2022:
Standing next to US President Joe Biden at their joint press conference, PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas unblinkingly called to end “74 years of… occupation.” In other words, Abbas called for the end of Israel, as Israel was established in 1948 – 74 years ago:
PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas: “After 74 years of Nakba (i.e., “the catastrophe,” the establishment of Israel), expulsion, and occupation, has the time not come for this occupation to end, for our people that is standing firm to achieve its freedom and independence, and for the wishes of our young men and women… to be realized in a promising future without occupation?”
[Official PA TV News, July 15, 2022]
Making his intentions clear, Abbas added that the path to destroying Israel starts with creating a Palestinian state:
“In this regard, we say that the key to peace and security in our region begins with recognizing state of Palestine and enabling the Palestinian people to obtain their legitimate rights in accordance with international legitimacy resolutions, and ending all the permanent status issues, including the Palestinian refugees issue.
And the way to that begins with ending the Israeli occupation of our land, the land of state of Palestine, with East Jerusalem as its capital, on the 1967 borders.”
[Website of the White House, July 15, 2022]
Abbas’ speech was a momentary display of clarity and honesty.
On most occasions, when speaking before foreign audiences and leaders, Abbas sticks to the false message that the Palestinians only seek to create a Palestinian state comprised of Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem – living beside Israel.
For example, when speaking recently in front of EU Representative to the PA Sven Kuhn von Bergsdorff and other ambassadors of European countries Abbas spoke of “the vision of the two-state solution on the 1967 borders,” a “Palestine” on only 22% of “historic Palestine,” as opposed to demanding “45%” of that area, as allocated by the 1947 UN partition plan for the “Arab country.”
In contrast to the conciliatory messaging designed solely for foreign consumption, domestically, as Palestinian Media Watch has consistently shown, the PA’s messaging to the Palestinian people is clear and unequivocal: Israel has no right to exist; its presence is fleeting; and it will be replaced by the “State of Palestine”. …

Yes, destruction is their goal…always has been, and as long as they live, it will continue to be. If they destroyed Isael and killed every Jew…man, woman and child…in that nation, they would then look for other victims that are *supposedly* keeping them down.
the permanent ‘resident’ of the pa, ” peace and security,” begins with Israel’s destruction at his hands.
“Whenever it is that they are saying *peace and security,* then sudden destruction will befall them….and there will no escape.(the Apostle Paul)”
If biden noticed, he didn’t care. But the sleaze behind the curtain was listening, understood and chortles with evil glee.

Whether Biden is cognizant of this or not, it amounts to the same thing, i.e., America under the bogus President Biden is not a friend of Israel, nor is he a friend of liberty, true justice under the law, sensible economic policies, a realization that man-made global warming climate change is bogus (as was global cooling the 1970’s), that printing trillions (yes, trillions and not “mere” billions) of more money is by far the chief cause of inflation in America and all this accompanied by a moronic war upon fossil fuels and complete dereliction respecting America’s southern border.
Frankly, I see Biden as a traitor to America, agree with Jon Voight that he should be impeached (principally, though not solely, because of immense violation of Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution) though he is such a dim bulb that reasonable minds can disagree respecting whether he is complicit with the intended destruction of America or is pretty much oblivious of this.
And thanks again, I say, to all those who ACTUALLY voted for Biden. You did America no favor and you should know this by now or should know it.
In short, Biden is a disaster and we still have this idiot, this man of no virtues, as titular head of America for another two and half years. A lot of damage can be done in two and a half years. Look at all the damage done by Biden and his minions just in the last year and a half. QED.

Abbas is correct, the occupation must end.
The Palestinians should piss off back to whatever Islamic hell hole they slithered out of and leave the Israeli people to rebuild their ancestral homeland in peace.

Yes, they are “occupying” like trespassing squatters who stuck around after the invading armies pulled out, while making sure they do a lot of damage to the property.

Precisely! Jericho, Hebron, Nablus, even Bethlehem – all belong to the Jews! Pali muslims have no business being there. Pali Christians may, but only if they recognize Israel and agree to be law abiding citizens there
Andrew Blackadder says
I can only assume that Herr Abbas never received a History lesson when he went to School as it was in FACT the muslims that kicked the Jews, and Christians, out of the area now known as Israel centuries previously and that before 1967 his people were known as Arabs until an Egyptian turned up and started calling them Palestinians which is a country that has never existed but they take the word of a NON ”Palestinian” person rather than reading actual History Books.
Arab muslims born or living within the Borders of Israel have more human rights than they would have in ANY islamic Nation, as Arab muslims are in high positions of power within Israeli society, Generals in the Army, Judges in the Courts system, Politicians in the Government and only an ignorant fool would think muslims are being oppressed, shot dead, jailed, or discriminated against in Israel but that is the same old same old nonsense they scream about and many non muslims are falling in line with a Fascist Religious Cult that despises them as they are used as useful idiots.
Kayode Oyelekan says
Israel can’t be destroyed by anybody. The covenant of God Jehovah is upon them. But Biden should be careful.
