(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. He made no mention of the firing of thousands of rockets by Palestinians in Gaza at Israeli cities, strategic facilities, and its international airport. 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. Praise for terror is a constant motif in Abbas' speeches, as he again referred to all Palestinian terrorists whom Israel has prosecuted for murder or attempted murder as "political prisoners" to be immediately released.
