What does the words of an idiot like Abbas have to do with systematic ethnic cleansing by Jewish paramilitary/terrorist groups like Haganah/Lehi/Irgun in the 1930s and 1940s? Was Abbas the reason they murdered villagers to scare away the population? Was Abbas the reason they assassinated prominent Palestinian Jews who opposed the foundation of Israel on Palestinian lands? Was Abbas the reason they bombed hotels and engaged in terrorism?
All this is just pure propaganda. I live here ... 40% of population is arab here in Jerusalem ... We walk in the same streets, we shop in the same malls, we study in the same universities, we work together.
90% of "refugees" where born in Egypt or Jordan or other arabs countries.
So your propaganda about ethnical cleansing and apartheid make Zero sense when arabs are doctors in our hospitals or members of parlement in our government...
Maybe you should just stop repeating Palestinian propaganda and come see by yourself?
That two people are walking and living together is amazing to read honestly — there is hope for accepting Palestinians. Especially when you read about other areas of Palestine where settlers are harassing natives or areas of Israel where the government is trying to move nomads out.
At the same time I will say that your comment on the refugees being born in a foreign country shows that you have written them off. These are humans remember? Their parents were stripped of property and driven to neighboring countries condemned to live as foreigners only hundreds of kilometers away from home. Isn’t it a tragedy when second generation refugees live next door to where their parents lived? All so some European settlers move in and take their lands and homes? We can’t just write them off as “not even born in Palestine”.
I'll stay purely factual: Please go read definition of genocide. Please check also history and who systematically refuse doing peace.
Finally please check this declaration from Abbas few weeks ago: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-e...
