Abbas Justifies Palestinian Terror in UN Speech


(Institute for Contemporary Affairs-Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs) Lt. Col. (ret.) Jonathan D. Halevi - PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas accused Israel of a "new war of genocide perpetrated against the Palestinian people" at the UN General Assembly on Sep. 26.

Abbas demanded that Israel pay the full price for its "war crimes," while directing no such demand at the Palestinian terror organizations for firing rockets at Israeli civilian communities.
