Abbas Has Helped Foster the Climate for a New Intifada

(Times of Israel) David Horovitz - There has been criticism of the Israeli leadership for pointing the finger of blame at PA President Mahmoud Abbas as the terror wave has risen in Jerusalem, when it is argued that Hamas and other extremist Palestinian groups are the primary terrorism-inflamers. But Abbas and his loyalists have emphatically swung to the extremes in the last few weeks. The PA chief accused Israel of "genocide" in Gaza from the UN General Assembly podium less than two months ago. Last week, he warned against "contaminating" the Al-Aqsa Mosque. He hailed the would-be assassin of Rabbi Yehudah Glick, a prime advocate of Jewish and Muslim prayer on the Temple Mount, as a martyr. Abbas has thus helped foster the climate for a new armed intifada. Palestinian terrorists, and those who incite them and support them, should know: We are not going to be shot and stabbed and bludgeoned out of here by your brutality and the false justifications you invoke to legitimate it. We seek co-existence. But your rights cannot be achieved by denying us ours.
