Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, who is often touted by the West as a “peace partner” of Israel’s, recently declared that there are six million “Palestinian refugees”, and that he is one of them.
Abbas’s comments were made in an interview with the Egyptian daily Akhbar Al-Yawm, published last week and translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).
In the interview, Abbas reiterated that he did not recognize Israel as a Jewish state, because this contradicted the Palestinian interests by “harming Israeli Arabs and preventing the return of the Palestinian refugees.” He said that there were six million
"Working with Israel is very difficult, if not impossible. We are conducting mutual relations with people who don't believe in peace. You ask for peace, and they do not want it...,” he charged in the interview.
“[Prime Minister Binyamin] Netanyahu said to me: ‘I want [Israel to be responsible for] security on the Jordanian border for 40 years.’ I pretended to have misheard him, and asked: ‘How many?!’ He said: ‘40 years’. I bid him farewell and said, ‘Let's shake hands [in farewell].’ I left his home and said to him, ‘This is occupation.’ I haven't seen him since...,” Abbas continued.
"In principle, I do not oppose 1:1 land swaps. Take territory of known value, and give territory of the same value,” said the PA Chairman, who placed “a basic condition for land swaps – Israel must recognize the June 4, 1967 border at a 1:1 ratio. For example, it is inappropriate for them to receive land in Jerusalem and give me [land] in the Negev [in exchange]."

The PLO, oops I mean Paleostinian Authority has always tried to ramp up their victimology to be on par with the Jews, that way, everything is “balanced”.
These Arabs are pathological and genetic lairs, thieves, murderers and primitive. Everybody knows this and nobody dare mention it.
In the late 19th century and early 20th century, the upper caste British class called anyone who behaved “boorishly” or not in a “civilised” fashion, a “Philistine”.
It made sense then and it makes sense today.
What a lyin sack of muhamed that was.
It is clear that there can never be a real peace between Palestine and Israel. Both have a strong emotional claim to the same land. If either makes a significant concession to the other , it denies the rational of its own existence. Palestinians will never concede their rights to the land and property they once possessed even within the pre 1967 borders. Israel will never concede any part of Jerusalem. True peace will only come when one or the other ceases to be a definable political entity.
Nonsense. Pure nonsense. Another false premise. Where are those refugees Abbas? Even your own Arab countrymen do not want them. You had your chance when Jordan controlled the west bank. But no, even then they did not want you. Shut up. This will never be resolved until Israel does not exist—exactly what you want. It will never happen you fool, EVER! Israel is proof my Lord and Savior exists. Go away and leave us alone. How many times can you lie?
I wouldn’t take a chance on him.
Well, the neighborhood bully, he’s just one man
His enemies say he’s on their land
They got him outnumbered about a million to one
He got no place to escape to, no place to run
He’s the neighborhood bully.
The neighborhood bully he just lives to survive
He’s criticized and condemned for being alive
He’s not supposed to fight back, he’s supposed to have thick skin
He’s supposed to lay down and die when his door is kicked in
He’s the neighborhood bully.
The neighborhood bully been driven out of every land
He’s wandered the earth an exiled man
Seen his family scattered, his people hounded and torn
He’s always on trial for just being born
He’s the neighborhood bully.
Well, he knocked out a lynch mob, he was criticized
Old women condemned him, said he could apologize
Then he destroyed a bomb factory, nobody was glad
The bombs were meant for him. He was supposed to feel bad
He’s the neighborhood bully.
Well, the chances are against it, and the odds are slim
That he’ll live by the rules that the world makes for him
‘Cause there’s a noose at his neck and a gun at his back
And a licence to kill him is given out to every maniac
He’s the neighborhood bully.
Well, he got no allies to really speak of
What he gets he must pay for, he don’t get it out of love
He buys obsolete weapons and he won’t be denied
But no one sends flesh and blood to fight by his side
He’s the neighborhood bully.
Well, he’s surrounded by pacifists who all want peace
They pray for it nightly that the bloodshed must cease
Now, they wouldn’t hurt a fly. To hurt one they would weep
They lay and they wait for this bully to fall asleep
He’s the neighborhood bully.
Every empire that’s enslaved him is gone
Egypt and Rome, even the great Babylon
He’s made a garden of paradise in the desert sand
In bed with nobody, under no one’s command
He’s the neighborhood bully.
Now his holiest books have been trampled upon
No contract that he signed was worth that what it was written on
He took the crumbs of the world and he turned it into wealth
Took sickness and disease and he turned it into health
He’s the neighborhood bully.
What’s anybody indebted to him for ?
Nothing, they say. He just likes to cause war
Pride and prejudice and superstition indeed
They wait for this bully like a dog waits to feed
He’s the neighborhood bully.
What has he done to wear so many scars ?
Does he change the course of rivers ?
Does he pollute the moon and stars ?
Neighborhood bully, standing on the hill
Running out the clock, time standing still
Neighborhood bully.
“Neighborhood Bully”, Bob Dylan, 1983
If you live in peace with your neighbors, you have no need to be a refugee.
They danced on 9-11, handing out sweets and ululating while 3,000 Americans lost their lives,
A few years later, they danced with the intestines of two Israeli reservists who had taken a wrong turn...
Last month, they again break out the dancing shoes and turkey gobbling when a couple of them manage to chop up Jewish worshipers.
Such wonderful folk!
In order to be a Palestinian refugee, would there not need to be a Palestine?
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

There is no so-called “palestine”, but for the Roman appellation of “Philistia”. Nor are there any so-called “palestinians” but for various conglomerations of predominantly islamist arabs which Israel, for whatever God-forsaken reason, has decided it must put-up with.
I remember that.
I'll never forget that.
