Netanyahu Accuses Palestinian Leader Abbas of Holocaust Denial
RT | May 2, 2018
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has taken to Twitter to slam Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas who, during a Monday speech, suggested that through their “social role” Jews brought persecution upon themselves.
Netanyahu accused the Palestinian leader of both Holocaust denial and anti-Semitism. “Apparently the Holocaust denier is still a Holocaust denier. I call on the international community to condemn his severe anti-Semitism; the time has come for it to pass from the world,” he wrote.
The embattled Israeli PM was making reference to controversial remarks made by Abbas at a rare meeting of the Palestinian National Council in Ramallah on Monday. During a 90-minute televised speech, Abbas claimed that the historic persecution of European Jews throughout the centuries was due to their “social role related to usury and banks.”
“From the 11th century until the Holocaust that took place in Germany, the Jews – who moved to Western and Eastern Europe – were subjected to a massacre every 10 to 15 years. But why did this happen?” the Jerusalem Post quotes Abbas as saying.
“The Jewish issue that was widespread in all European countries… was not because of their religion, but rather their social role related to usury and banks,” he reportedly added.
Abbas attributed these claims to books written by various Jewish scholars and also said that “such pogroms did not take place in Arab countries, which had Jewish populations.”
Jason Greenblatt, President Trump’s special envoy to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, took to Twitter to respond to the remarks, saying: “They are very unfortunate, very distressing and terribly disheartening. Peace cannot be built on this kind of foundation.”
While US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman said that the comments represent a “new low.”
Abbas has been accused of Holocaust denial for decades stemming from his 1982 doctorate dissertation entitled“The Secret Relationship between Nazism and the Zionist Movement.”

Latvia urging UK to ‘prepare for war’ with Russia
By Lucas Leiroz | March 18, 2024
The Baltic countries continue their “preparation for war with Russia.” Now, as if it were not enough to engage in a suicidal militarization campaign, Latvia is also demanding that the main NATO countries, such as the UK, also begin adopting radical measures to prepare for the “inevitable” confrontation with Moscow. The main Latvian criticism of the British concerns the military service, with the Baltic country asking the UK to immediately resume conscription policies to increase the size of its forces.
Latvia’s foreign minister, Krisjanis Karins, stated that all NATO countries should follow the Latvian example when it comes to military preparation. According to him, it is necessary to implement special militarization measures and improve defense capacity in the face of the supposed “Russian threat”, which is why Western countries should unite in a common military policy. Karins believes that not all NATO states are efficiently engaged in this military preparation process. In this regard, he criticizes even the stance of key countries in the bloc, such as the UK.
Karins was asked by a journalist from The Telegraph about whether London should adopt mandatory military service for its citizens. He resolutely responded that Latvia “strongly recommends” such an attitude. According to Karins, Latvia is developing a system called “total defense”, in which all the country’s efforts are directed towards expanding military capacity. Efforts include all sectors of civil society, thus requiring a system of total mobilization within which mandatory military service is vital. … continue

The time has come for Satanyahu to pass from the world…admittedly only a start toward ridding the world of his Zioideology’s brand of parasitism, arrogance and genocide but nevertheless a start. The Palestinians, to a person, would be appreciative.
I hold no brief for Mahmud Abbas whose time has come and should go quickly, but he is right on here! Let the doors be opened and the debate engaged!

I agree with you about M. Abbas. He really has wasted so much time and compromised himself over and over in collusive actions with the Zionist entity. As the song says “Too much, too little, too late …”.
There are many capable Palestinians who could take his place with more intelligence and more honour.
It is now past the 11th hour for the Palestinian state – I can see no good outcome for the most persecuted people living in their own land since history began.
Israel is now using the Iranian presence in Syria to spark a war between the US and Iran. Anybody who has studied basic life games in Transaction Analysis knows this is just a hard version of let you and him fight; the only winner is Israel.

What a hippocrite Netanyahu is. He spews bile about Iran, Syria, Iraq, and anyone else who stands in his way of taking over the Middle East to establish something called “Greater Israel. And then he calls anyone who stands up to him as an Anti-Semite, as if everything is their fault.
What a disgusting piece of human excrement he is. When is he going to jail, by the way, he’s also a criminal.
