Erekat: Palestine Victim of Trump Electoral Ambitions

W460

A senior Palestinian official on Friday slammed Serbia's decision to move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem saying it makes "Palestine a victim" of U.S. President Donald Trump's re-election hopes.

"Palestine has become a victim of the electoral ambitions of President Trump, whose team would take any action, no matter how destructive for peace... to achieve his re-election" in November, tweeted Erekat, the secretary-general of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).

"This, just like the UAE-Israel agreement (to normalize diplomatic ties), isn't about Middle East Peace," he added.

"Palestine has become a victim of the ......" refusal of the leadership to move into the 21st Century and realise that the only way left for them is to sit down with Israel and hammer out the differences, be it either under the auspices of the US or the Quartet Plus.
As far as Abu Mazen is concerned, he still thinks that "Palestine" is the centre of the world and every country has to obey the dictates that come out of Ramallah. He doesn't realise that this ended for most of the world, including Arab States, years ago.

Palestine is a victim of vicious racists who dominate Israel politics and who are willing to deprive millions of people of their basic human rights. That include you!

Sorry @phillipo, too many words with no meaningful content. Same old same old
Here’s a link to a comment made by @levant that sums things up very well.
Which should the majority of Israelis choose in your opinion?

Abu Mazen claims that all the worlds problems (or at least those of the Middle East) are because of the existance of Israel.
So can he please explain what part Israel takes in the fighting between : Morocco and Saharawi ADR, the two factions in Libya, the factions in Yemen, the troubles in Sudan, Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan.

Again - you lie Shlomo! You have no problem bemoaning a population that has been made into refugee, whose homeland was stolen and you support (and like is paid by) the criminal state that made all that possible.

You do not know what you are talking about so I suggest that you keep to Lebanese affairs.

Concidering that I have a degree in Contemporary Arab Politics from a respected university in my country, the United Kingdom, I do know exactly what I am talking about, something that seems to elude you.
