Abbas: I convinced US Jews to Support Us
inn ^ | 7/22/10 | staff

Chairman Mahmoud Abbas of the Palestinian Authority told the Fatah faction's central committee this week that he convinced United States Jews during his recent visit to the United States to tell President Barack Obama that there was an Arab partner for peace and to ask if there was an Israeli one. He said that after a two-hour meeting with "the Jewish lobby" there were those who promised to tell Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to break up his coalition or declare his recognition of the two-state solution to the Arab-Israeli dispute.

“he convinced United States Jews”

There are 4 million of us here. How did I miss that big meeting?

Maybe he meant “more than one”, like two of them.

He was probably talking about Noam Chomsky.

or declare [Bibi's] recognition of the two-state solution to the Arab-Israeli dispute.

What solution? It hasn't been negotiated yet, and Abu Mazen doesn't want it to be. He wants it dictated to Israel by 0.

While anything you hear from a Moose source needs to be taken with a large pellet of salt, in this case this is almost not news. This is dog bites man. It’s what we expect based on past demographic history, and as you suggest, biblical history. Jews who aren’t serious about religious/supernatural matters (which is most of them in America, and periodically was most of them in biblical times) can’t seem to grok the dynamics of what drives the Moose menace, and nice talk won’t make that menace go away or keep it at bay.

Maybe this is bluster, but it’s well within plausibility that Abbas actually did this. Of course Abbas is not talking about “all the Jews” in America, just a particularly easily swayed liberal contingent of the Jews. Which is pretty much coextensive with the majority that never darken the door of a conservative or Orthodox synagogue and typically vote Rat.

I think he meant JStreet, from the Heinrich Himmler wing of the “Jewish Lobby”.

United States Jews?

Most likely a single high rise condo on Central park west.

Arab Muslims love to tell tall tales. When you believe in a false prophet you are liable to say any damn thing you please. Abbas might have gotten a few Jewish leaders to nod at him favorably.

The thing Abbas cares most about, which is what they do at the polls, seems to still be promising for him.

I dunno about Shumer. He is a dirtbag, but...I have never heard him make an anti-Israeli statement. Maybe I just haven’t been paying enough attention to what he says—who can blame me though?

He may be right. Most American Jews are liberals before they are Jews.

"There are 4 million of us here. How did I miss that big meeting?"

According to the "Elders of Zion," we are part of a vast conspiracy to manipulate the world for our own benefit. Somehow I missed those meetings, too. I receive neither checks in the mail nor minutes of the meetings.

Somehow the world always thinks that some nutty Jew -- and only a nut would meet with this fascist --- speaks for all Jews.

You know f all about about American Jews. You have a big errant mouth just like a 1000 other freepers when it comes to Jews. Yeah I’m an American Jew and my people were writing the Torah when your people were wearing animal skins, painting their faces and praying to pagan gods

Above said w all due respect of course and applies to lots of freepers so don’t take it personally.
