Abbas: American Jews on My Side Now

by Maayana Miskin

American Jewish lobbyists have been convinced to take a pro-Palestinian Authority position, and to ask US President Barack Obama to turn up the pressure on Israel, according to PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas. Abbas made the claims while speaking at a meeting of the Fatah organization's central committee.

The lobbyists “told me that I had created a revolution among American Jews, and that they had decided to go to President Obama and tell him: there is a Palestinian partner for peace – but is there an Israeli partner?” Abbas said.

"They promised they would go to Netanyahu and tell him to disassemble his coalition or announce that he agrees to a two-state solution,” he added.

The US Jewish leaders Abbas referred to were members of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organization, the Anti-Defamation League, and the left-wing Americans for Peace Now and J Street organizations.

Abbas met with them in June, at a dinner hosted by the S. Daniel Abraham Center for Middle East Peace. During his speech at the dinner Abbas condemned violence, incitement and Holocaust denial.

The PA leader accused Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu of attempting to undermine him when it came to US Jews. “Binyamin Netanyahu tried as hard as he could to convince the Jewish lobby not to meet with me, and told them I'm a liar... When they told him what I just told you [following the meeting] he got angry and told them I'm fooling them and they can't believe me,” Abbas claimed.

My Note:

When hell freezes over, Mr. Abbas! The Israel National News is printing your propaganda, but you really need to wake up ... REAL AMERICANS DEFEND ISRAEL. They are not Obama's puppets! We do not accept the unacceptable and you, Mr. Abbas and your darn flag are not acceptable to the United States citizens. No one undermines you and the Palestinians, Mr. Abbas - you do that all by yourself every time you open your mouth! You just called for the Arab League of Nations to attack Israel less than two weeks ago, stating that if they would do this, you, as a Palestinian, would be more than happy to join the war/battle against Israel.

We're not all sleeping, Mr. Abbas. Take your propaganda and bury it in the cemetery ... put big tombstone over your lies.
