ABBAS REWRITES JEWISH AND ZIONIST HISTORY:

PA President Mahmoud Abbas told the Palestinian National Council in Ramallah on 31 April 2018 that the Jews in Europe were massacred because of their social behavior related to money-lending. "From the 11th century until the Holocaust that took place in Germany, the Jews were subjected to a massacre every 10 to 15 years. But why did this happen? The Jewish issue that was widespread in all European countries was not because of their religion, but rather their social behavior related to usury and banks." Abbas cited a theory that Ashkenazi Jews hail from the Khazar Kingdom in southern Russia and "they have no relationship to Semitic culture, Abraham, Jacob and others." Moreover, he reiterated that Israel is "a colonial project. The story of building a national home didn't come from the Jews, but rather the colonial states."

Israel’s PM Netanyahu accused the Palestinian president of anti-Semitism after Abbas suggested Jews were to blame for the Holocaust. Israel's foreign ministry on 2 May 2018 charged him with fueling "religious and nationalist hatred against the Jewish people and Israel.” Netanyahu added, "It would appear that, once a Holocaust denier, always a Holocaust denier. I call upon the international community to condemn the grave anti-Semitism of Abu Mazen (Abbas), which should have long since passed from this world.” (UK Daily Mail/Times of Israel) Pray that Mahmoud Abbas will be removed from his office as Palestinian Authority President and replaced with someone in his right mind with a true vision to work with Israel towards peace and co-operation.
