Abbas: Stop global terrorism by ending the 'Israeli occupation of Palestine' [View all]

Global terrorism will end iff the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is resolved, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said on Thursday as he condemned all forms of such violence.

“We are against terrorism in whatever form it may take and whoever carries it out,” he said as he delivered a long address before the European Parliament in Brussels. Palestinians stand with the Europeans in their fight against terrorism, Abbas said.

His statement was greeted by strong applause from the politicians in the room.


“In order to overcome terrorism, we also need to end Israeli occupation by creating a Palestinian State within the 1967 borders with east Jerusalem as its capital,” Abbas said. He spoke in Arabic and his words were translated into English by the EU.

If anyone else had said these words, it would be called a threat! Also, if the terrorists of Orlando, San Bernadino, Tel Aviv, Paris, London, New York, etc. really did do what they did "because Israel," they have demonstrated why they are terrorists.

Also, maybe Abbas can tell the world why Radicals Islamists act in countries both allied and not allied to the US and Israel, alike. And why so many other countries, and those ones two, have spent billions to thwart other attacks.
