Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas just told the Turkish parliament that "America is the plague, and the plague is America." Will the United States tolerate such attacks?

What do Palestinian leaders say when they are not speaking in English?

For decades, Yasser Arafat spoke of peace in English—but only in English. In Arabic, not a word about peace and compromise. In Arabic, not a word about peace and compromise. (Here, from 1997, is an example of the many articles about this phenomenon.)

But Arafat has been dead since 2004, and Mahmoud Abbas has been the leader of the PLO, Fatah Party, and the Palestinian Authority. What does he say when he is not speaking English—and more pointedly, what does he say about the United States?

The Arab "Palestinian" Mahmoud Darwish, came up with this line: “America is the plague and the plague is America,” in his poem “In Praise of the High Shadow.”

He was born a Muslim and was active in Communism

Who would want that dirty plague-ridden money anyway?

We’d be doing them a favor!

Under Harris, we will continue to tell Israel to show “restraint” and be “proportional. We will also keep shipping billion$ to the terrorists under the guise of “humanitarian aid.”

Under Trump, well let’s just say things will be a little different.

Been visiting Brazilians too....

Lula began his speech, the second since he took office for a third term in January 2023, by making special mention of the Palestinian delegation and welcoming the presence of Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas. Despite not being a country, the United Nations always grants the Palestinian Authority a speaking spot at the General Assembly.
