Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas sends a video speech to the UN after his entry visa into the US was denied. He demands that Israel cease using starvation as a weapon, but also that Palestine will have its governance rearranged where Hamas will both be banned and forced to surrender arms.

I think most Palestinians hate this guy, right? Is he simply trying to appease the Zionist Entity into letting him keep his job?

    Shut up traitor.

    Imagine the humiliation of betraying your own people, becoming a puppet of imperialism, and they still won’t give you a visa to go to the UN. Pathetic.

    PLO as an organization is the primary domestic collaborator with israel in the west bank to oppress Palestinians. they have overseen the development of the settler-colonial project in the west bank. it is a less popular organization in the west bank than Hamas, by a good margin. there’s an element there of the grass always being greener i’m sure, but it’s definitely the case that Palestinians living in the west bank do not appreciate their “leadership” helping the zionist entity oppress them.

    Abbas thanked the world leaders who have stood up for Palestinians throughout the Gaza war

    Who?

    …saying that the recent recognition of Palestinian statehood has presented his people with hope for peace and an end to the conflict…

    Oh for fuck’s sake… the boot just had to be licked like that, didn’t it.

    Begging everyone to read The Hundred Years’ War on Palestine by Rashid Khalidi if you have not already. The PLO and PA are collaborators. We have played this exact game before regarding disarmament and authority within a palestinian state.

    bro he’s so old ,he was almost 13 years old when the Nakba happened ,dude was conscious during WW2

    also yes we do hate him although there are people who like him

    Abu Mazen is 7 years older than biden and just like biden ,dude has dementia ,he was quite capable when he was young ,he just isn’t now

    Netenyahu isn’t gonna allow him to be in control which I think Abbas knows and I think he’s counting on the off chance trump gives a concession ,it legit depends or trump ,if trump bends down to Israel which is likely since his 2nd term feels like we’re back in the bush W days ,Abbas is just not getting anything at all

    Israel wants a more obedient puppet , also even if Netenyahu was ousted from the government which is pretty unlikely ,Abbas is still not getting shit ,Israelis hate the PA ,they hate them cause they give the parents of martyr’s whom the Israelis consider “terrorists” money so these poor old people can take care of themselves ,Israelis refer to it as “Pay to Slay”

    there’s also our education which they hate cause it’s correct like unironically ,I don’t want to site Wikipedia but I kinda have to here :

    “A comprehensive three-year study, regarded by its researchers as ‘the most definitive and balanced study to date on the topic’,[8][33] was conducted between 2009 and 2012. The researchers examined 3,000 authors, illustrations, and maps in school books used in Palestinian, Israeli state, and Israeli ultra-Orthodox schools. The study found that incitement, demonization or negative depictions of the other in children’s education was “extremely rare” in both Israeli and Palestinian school texts, with only 6 instances discovered in over 9,964 pages of Palestinian textbooks, none of which consisted of “general dehumanizing characterizations of personal traits of Jews or Israelis”.[8] Israeli officials rejected the study as biased, while Palestinian Authority officials claimed it vindicated their view that their textbooks are as fair and balanced as Israel’s.[10]”

    also stuff about Israelis being Zionist occupiers and not condemning “terrorist” attacks in the 70’s and categorizing them as acts of resistance

    It might be reductive to say same-picture about the PA and Israeli government… but only a little bit reductive
