Abbas was the financier of the debut act of the modern era of terrorism, the 1972 Munich Massacre of Israeli athletes.
Disgust doesn't even begin to describe how I feel about this.

SNIPPET: “It will be the policy of my administration to actively and aggressively seek a lasting peace between Israel and the Palestinians, as well as between Israel and its Arab neighbors, President Obama said last week.
He also remarked: Just as the terror of rocket fire aimed at innocent Israelis is intolerable, so, too, is a future without hope for the Palestinians.
A day earlier Obama had made his first phone call as president to President Mahmoud Abbas of the Palestinian Authority. And on Wednesday this week, his new-old Middle East envoy George Mitchell is already due here to meet with Israeli and PA leaders.
In other words, Obama means business. Yet each of his above-quoted statements has something fundamentally wrong with it.”
