Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas attempted to walk back controversial statements made during a recent address to the European Union parliament in Brussels, claiming on Saturday that he opposed "any attack on any religion", after having accused Israel of “poisoning Palestinian wells”.
"Palestine is the cradle of the three monotheistic faiths. We stand strongly against any attack on any religion," Abbas said in a statement. The tacit acknowledgement of Judaism's roots in the Land of Israel, comes in stark contrast to Palestinian Authority propaganda which has for decades attempted to diminish the Jewish people's ancient history in Israel.
In apparently unscripted Arabic remarks to the European Parliament on Thursday, Abbas said that recently "a number of rabbis in Israel made a clear declaration and asked their government to poison water to kill the Palestinians".
He gave no source for the accusation, but said it was part of wider Israeli campaign of anti-Arab incitement.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office responded by accusing Abbas of disseminating "a blood libel in front of the European Parliament".
Abbas's office acknowledged on Saturday that the reports on which his comments had been based had proved to be unfounded.
"It has become evident that the alleged statements by a rabbi on poisoning Palestinian wells, which were reported by various media outlets, are baseless," it said.

Islam has nothing to do with “Palestine”. It’s just conquered territory to them.
Make sure every Mossad agent has a good up-to-date picture of this mass-murdering terrorist gangster thug!
Three lies in that one sentence from the mass-murdering terrorist gangster thug...
1. there is no such nation as “palestine” and never has been (and never will be, excepting of course the 70% of mandatory ‘palestine’ now called Jordan)
2. While Judaism and Christianity were birthed in the Land of Israel, Mohammedism was NOT
3. While Judaism and Christianity worship the One True God, Mohammedism serves Satan
