West Bank – The Palestinian president is accusing Israel of “ethnic cleansing,” days after Israel’s leader lobbed that same allegation at the Palestinians.

President Mahmoud Abbas has made the claim against Israel in the past. But his remarks late Sunday came after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insisted West Bank settlements were not an obstacle to peace and that Palestinians wanted the “ethnic cleansing” of Jews in the West Bank.
Netanyahu’s comments drew a harsh rebuke from the U.S., which said such terminology was “inappropriate and unhelpful.”
In his remarks for the Muslim Eid al-Adha holiday, Abbas also said he was prepared to continue with the “diplomatic process” and was ready to meet Netanyahu to discuss peace following an invitation to both leaders to meet in Moscow.
U.S.-brokered peace negotiations collapsed in 2014.
Is he willing to meet PM Netanyhu without pre-conditions?
Including the pre-condition that his new State of False-isstein is judenrhein like the fascist policies in the other countries.
People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones!!
I would wonder whether Abbas is mentally retarded or senile. But probably both are not true. He is simply a bloodthirsty terrorist like all the rest of them. He has clowned around the negotiating table for years, always using the muscle he could through manipulating his co-terrorist, BHO. There has never been an accusation, however ridiculous, uttered from this savage that was not heralded as divine from the current White House. There has never been a statement from Bibi that was not somehow ridiculed or resented by Obama. What an anti-Israel terrorist.
Pretty lame considering that he’s proposing a judenrein Palestinian state.
But his amen corner in Europe and the White House will never call him on it
There are no ethnic Palestinains. They are Arabs and some are even Circassian, Turkoman, and Bosnian. Some are even descended from Jews who were forced to convert.
