Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on Monday urged the member states of the European Union to swiftly recognize the state of Palestine, arguing such a move would preserve the Palestinians hope for peace.
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’”

encourage the Palestinian people to keep on abiding by the culture of peace that has disseminated through it for generations. 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.

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 isnt 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. lets find all the money we gave him and take it back.

Jesus TOLD US HOW to solve
this problem.
Here's
WHY.
You want to see the
"End of the Matter" ?
" ... And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them... ... AFTER the end of seven months shall they search.
And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man's bone, then shall he set up a sign by it,till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamongog ... "
That's
a VERY long time burying dead Muslims, ... burying
a lot of DEAD Muslims!
NEVER EVER Call Judea and Samaria the West Bank ... Does anybody know why they call it the West Bank?
Technically, what is the West Bank?
I dont think anybody in America knows.
.
The term West Bank dates from the establishment of the kingdom of Jordan on the east bank of the Jordan in 1922.
It refers to Judea and Samaria by their location on the west bank of the Jordan River
and is an attempt by the Arab world to link them to Jordan,
although they were originally slated to be part of the state of Israel.
Jordan has given up all demands for Judea and Samaria, which it occupied from 1949-1967, when they were united with Israel after Jordan attacked the Jewish state in the Six Day War.
.
They [the Arabs] are really really brilliant, added Beck.
This is really being played very well
Theres no history of Palestinians [in that area].
You know what Palestine is named after? The Philistines. There were the Philistines.
Thats WHY they came up with the name Palestine later.
The Philistines were a warlike, sea peoplewhose origins may have been Minoa, an island off Greece,
and who lived on the southern coast of Israel, far from Judea and Samaria, during the time of the Bible after their attack on Egypt failed.
They were the Jews worst enemy during the time of the Judges and Kings,but were absorbed into conquering empires and disappeared as a distinct people by the 5th century B.C.E.

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.
