Incredible as it sounds, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said that because of the influence of US President Barack Hussein Obama, many American Jews are now on his side and supporting his cause. Abbas believes that President Obama is going to “turn up the pressure” on Israel. The information he was trusting was certain lobbyists in Washington DC who told him that some American Jews were standing with him in his analysis of the struggle for peace with Israel. It is another example of the kind of propaganda that comes from the Palestinian Authority - American Jews still support Israel - that’s a fact! The American Jews he was speaking about are those associated with “Americans for Peace Now” and “J Street.” That has always been the case, but they do NOT represent the majority of Jews in America nor do they represent the positions of the US Congress concerning the State of Israel.
Abbas blames Netanyahu for trying to undermine his relationships with certain American Jews. He said that Netanyahu accused him of being a “liar” and that his words about “peace” were not trustworthy. He said that Netanyahu continues to tell American Jews that the Palestinian Authority is still sponsoring and encouraging terrorism - even among its children in Palestinian schools.
The evidence is overwhelming that Netanyahu is absolutely correct about Abbas and his efforts toward peace.
