Mahmoud Abbas urges UN to stop the war in Gaza
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas urges the U.N. to stop the war in Gaza
Abbas called for a comprehensive and permanent ceasefire in Gaza, an end to attacks by Israeli settlers in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, the delivery of humanitarian aid throughout Gaza and a full withdrawal of the Israeli military from the enclave.
He said that the Palestinian Authority, which he leads, should have control over all Palestinian territories and that it would hold elections once the war is over. — Reuters
Our Take:
“Stop this crime. Stop it now. Stop the killing of children and women. Stop this genocide. Stop sending weapons to Israel. This madness cannot continue. The entire world is responsible.
Israel reoccupied the Gaza strip, and has almost entirely destroyed it. It is no longer fit for life, after destroying the buildings, the homes, the educational and medical centres."
Many like to view this Gaza conflict as Judeo-Christian vs Muslim, but the reality is that there are several Coptic Churches in Gaza—some being the earliest churches ever built—and congregations that became the victims of the IDF.
 |
And yet, there are Christians who will convulse at this assertion, and exonerate the Israeli government of any wrong-doing.
From the article:
Israel's U.N. Ambassador Danny Danon responded to Abbas' speech in a statement, accusing him of only talking about a peaceful solution when he is at the United Nations and failing to condemn the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas militants that triggered the war in the Hamas-run Gaza Strip.
More lies.
Not only did Abbas call out Hamas for not informing the Palestinian Authority of their planned attack, but he blamed them for the subsequent destruction of the Palestinian people.
 |
Here's Abbas in 2007—after Hamas drove both the Palestinian Authority security forces and the IDF out of Gaza—stating that his government would have no dialogue with the "murderous terrorists" in Hamas.
 |
Here's Abbas in 2017, stating that he would not appoint any Hamas officials to serve in the Palestinian government unless they recognized the state of Israel.
 |
Here's Abbas in 2018, after Hamas tried to assassinate his prime minister with a roadside bomb, when Abbas sent the PM to Gaza to negotiate the peaceful transfer of the Gazan government to the Palestinian Authority.
 |
That incident resulted in Abbas sanctioning Hamas, cutting them off financially, in an attempt to destroy the organization. So how did it survive? Bibi Netanyahu devised a scheme where Israel literally walked briefcases full of cash (totaling tens of millions of dollars) into Gaza and gave them to families with ties to Hamas.
 |
Netanyahu was outed by one of his cabinet ministers, who was so appalled by the plot that he resigned from the government and went public with the story.
So if you don't like Hamas, just understand that Abbas is the only person who has actually tried to stop them, while the United States and Israeli governments have directly funded their ascent to power.
Netanyahu was throwing shade at Abbas the other day.
 |
Reminder: Here is what President Trump thinks of Abbas and Netanyahu. (From an interview in December 2021 with Barak Ravid.)
And as we anticipate Netanyahu's speech to the UN General Assembly this morning, remember that back in July, the night before Bibi addressed Congress, President Trump posted the letter Abbas had sent him expressing his concern over the assassination attempt, complete with a hand-written note.
