“We truly consider the European Union as a true partner and friend, and therefore we call its member states to swiftly recognize the state of Palestine and we confirm that there is no contradiction between recognition and the resumption of negotiations,” Abbas said in an address in Brussels.

The Palestinian leader argued that such a move “would encourage the Palestinian people to keep hoping for peace, and to wait until peace is brought about. It will open the doors to peace and it will encourage the Palestinian people to keep on abiding by the culture of peace that has disseminated through it for generations.”

The Israeli government has argued in the past that unilateral recognition of the state of Palestinian will toughen the Palestinian stance and make it harder to reach a final peace deal between the two sides. …

Peace to them is the destruction of Israel and the killing of all Jews - as a start.

He’s learned well from his fellow fascists.

“give us our tax hikes, then we’ll talk about your tax cuts”
“give us amnesty, then we’ll talk about border security”
“give us statehood, then we’ll talk about ‘peace’”

Says the very monster who arranged the murder of disabled U.S. Jewish WWII combat veteran Leon Klinghoffer. They drowned the wheelchair-bound 69-year old in the Mediterranean. Abbas arranged, funded and hired his killers for Arafat.

How does he even say this with a straight face?! Everyone there should have laughed at him and told him to bugger off.

Couldn’t bluster Trump into continuing to fund their ongoing assault on decency so they are now shaking their tin cups Europe’s way in hopes of replacing them “alms”....

that’s a good idea. the EU should recognize it and let it join the EU. Then all the pallies would move to Europe and Sweden.

Too many over there have the same goal as he does, but not for the sake of the “Palestinians”; for their own purposes.

The final mental breakdown of a mass- murdering bloodthirsty nazi isn’t pretty. But fortunately he will soon collect his 72 virgins reward from his “god” Satan in Hell, and the world will finally be rid of this POS. let’s find all the money we gave him and take it back.

After listening to Trump at Davos over the last two days, I think the EU will probably tell Abbas to piss off and gravitate towards Trump. Everyone moving towards Trump is making money.

Aside from the French, who still think that countries who sign the Paris Accords will wind up buying nuclear technology from France, most of these countries want to do business with the US. And if fairness is the only drawback to all of this, they will take that over a total train wreck.
