Abbas 'Victory Speech': Jerusalem 'Eternal Capital of Palestine'

PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas Sunday promised someday the PA flag would fly over “Jerusalem, eternal capital of the state of Palestine.”

Thousands of people greeted Abbas rapturously upon his return from the United Nations, where the General Assembly granted the PLO, representing the PA, upgraded status as a nonmember observer state.

"Raise your heads high, because you are Palestinians!” Abbas told the joyous crowd, waving PA flags in the PA capital of Ramallah, located in Samaria.

"You have proof that you are stronger than the occupation, because you are Palestinians... stronger than the settlements, because you are Palestinians.

"We were threatened with punishment and sanctions from various sides,” Abbas continued, in a reference to attempts by the United States and Israel to dissuade him from proceeding with the application.

"And if we had listened to those threats we wouldn't have gone to the U.N.

"One day, a young Palestinian will raise the Palestinian flag over Jerusalem,” he vowed, “the eternal capital of the state of Palestine!”

An open letter to Mahmoud Abbas, to save yourself the headaches and hassles, God has different ideas for Jeruslem and only includes control by Jewish people. It doesn’t include control by you. God’s plan prevails over your desire.

Jews are the Palestinians

The arabs who steal that name putrefy the sanctity of the holy land

I could see that possibility. When our overlords create a pressure-cooker situation by suppressing the truth and demanding adherence to the PC line, the presssure’s got to escape somewhere. The more the lid is clamped down, the bigger the explosion will be. It didn’t have to be this way if people would’ve just left people alone, not infringed their freedom of association, etc. But apparently our leaders would rather have it this way.
