President Abbas houdt toespraak op Arabische Cultuurdag Jeruzalem

 
Abbas zei eerder:
 
"Hamas is not required, Hamas is not required to recognize Israel... It is not required of Hamas, or of Fatah, or of the Popular Front to recognize Israel, all right?
 
"The PLO, in 1993, recognized Israel. As Israel recognized the PLO. Every person has the right to say 'I do not recognize,' okay? It's your right. It is the right of every organization. But the government which will be formed, and which will function opposite the Israelis on a daily basis... every hour and perhaps every second, there will be contact between Palestinian ministers and Israeli ministers. And I ask - how can this government, or these ministers, not recognize their counterparts, and then solve people's problems?" [Abbas then gives an example of $500 million in taxes intended for the Palestinians, but put on hold by Israelis. The Palestinian finance minister has to come to an agreement with the Israeli finance minister regarding the transfer of that money.] "So how can he make an agreement with him if he does not recognize him?"
 
"So I do not demand of Hamas nor any other [organizations] to recognize Israel. But from the government that works with Israelis in day to day life, yes."
 
Het volgende zijn grove leugens en is totaal ongepast:
 
In the inaugural ceremony of Jerusalem, Capital of Arab Culture 2009, President Abbas said that Israeli policies of racism, oppression, land seizing and demolishing of towns and houses, and the policies of faking the past and present and destroying the future, have to stop, entirely, if there be a real chance for peace on this earth.
 
Wat valt er met een 'vredespartner' te praten die zo over je denkt? Is dit het antwoord op het weghalen van meer dan 100 checkpoints, het vrijlaten van zo'n 1.000 gevangenen de afgelopen 2 jaar, de samenwerking tussen PA politie en Israel in Nabloes, Jenin en andere plaatsen, de training en uitrusting waarvoor Israel goedkeuring gaf, de vele samenwerkingsprojecten met Israel?
 
Het is niet Israel maar de PA die heden en verleden vervalst, door de band van de Joden met het land en met Jeruzalem te blijven ontkennen, door hun eigen aandeel in het conflict en in de strijd te blijven ontkennen, door verhalen de wereld in te helpen over massamoorden die niet zijn gepleegd, door de Holocaust te ontkennen en de Joden van al hun ellende de schuld te geven. Helaas is er wat dat betreft niet echt een verschil tussen Hamas en Fatah. Abbas' woorden over vrede en een tweestatenoplossing klinken dan ook behoorlijk hol.

BETHLEHEM, March 21, 2009 (WAFA - PLO news agency)- President Mahmoud Abbas said, Saturday, that Jerusalem is the key of peace to human beings, the Palestinians and Arabs hope, and the symbol of justice and peace that this suffering holy land is in need of.

In the inaugural ceremony of Jerusalem, Capital of Arab Culture 2009, President Abbas said that Israeli policies of racism, oppression, land seizing and demolishing of towns and houses, and the policies of faking the past and present and destroying the future, have to stop, entirely, if there be a real chance for peace on this earth.

He also said addressing Palestinians, "I am telling you, as cautious defenders of peace, stand up for Jerusalem, the capital of Palestine, as long as we are ambitious to creating a world free of wars and tragedies."

He affirmed, today, on the occasion of mothers' day, and the anniversary of Al-Karamah victory, that the Palestinian people, led by the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO), its only and legitimate representative, will not give up on the world's promise to them, and will not give in on the Arabs' pledge for peace, represented by the Arab Peace Initiative adopted in Beirut in 2002. He said that, "we will continue the strife for the brave peace, we reiterate in every international event; a peace based on the two-state solution and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state, on the borders of June 1967, whose capital is Jerusalem."

He pointed that any new Israeli government must reaffirm its serious commitment to go on the path for peace, through a declared acceptance of the two-state solution, and the implementation of the Road Map, and all the previously agreed on obligations, and the international legitimacy resolutions, settled down to solve this conflict."

He finally asserted that without a total halt of colonization activities, in Jerusalem and throughout the Occupied Palestinian Territory, there will be no chance to re-embark on serious negotiations.
