Following are excerpts from an interview with PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, which aired on Palestinian Authority TV on June 2, 2011:
Mahmoud Abbas: With regard to [Palestinian recognition] of a Jewish state, or whatever, this has never been an issue. Throughout the negotiations between the Israeli and us, from 1993 until a year ago, we never heard the words "Jewish state." Now, they have begun to talk about it, and our response was: "Go to the UN, and call yourselves whatever you want. We are not the party to address. Not only that – we refuse to recognize a Jewish state. Try to wrest it out of the UN or anyone else."
Why does Israel insist on demanding this from us, and us alone – it did not demand this from the Arabs, from Egypt, from Jordan, or from any Arab country with which it negotiated? Only from us. We know the reason, and we say: "No, we refuse."
[…]
Abbas knows Obama won’t require him to recognize Israel. The creation of an Arab terrorist state in Israel’s backyard will proceed regardless.
Why PM, why? What is the big deal?
Unexpedted.
Unexpected.
So, like Bibi told the stupid bastard occupying the White Hut, ‘It ain’t gonna happen’ ... and nwo we can expect stupid to demand of Abbas that he accept the 1967 boundaries and negotiate the rest? Bwahahahaha, we have such a feckless idiot as pResident. Even the enemy of our friends exposes the fool for what he is, clueless. Klueless Kenyan Klown and his posse ... America, what have you done?
Eat nuke, then .. mf’er!
Well, it’s gonna be sorta difficult to haggle with a guy who wants your family dead.
The Satanic cult of Islam hates the light.
There is no dealing with these people...........the war will happen.
So does Obama and his democrats.
i’m waiting to hear that obama gave him an ultimatum, as he did Netanyahu (sp?). Should I not hold my breath?
You can’t negotiate with this. If the UN still pushes the Pali state then they are crap too. I don’t even know what Obama is free to do at this point. He will need tap shoes and a Depends.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Yawn. Run along now, Mahmoud. The grownups want to talk.
