I'd like to say that the real number of 'Palestinian' refugees who fled 'their' homes in 1948 and 1967 definitely can't reach this staggering,preposterous figure of 4,000,000 for the sons,grandsons of the original refugees are not to be considered that way,keeping the status quo of their parents.The Hashemite Kingdom absorbed scores of them.Syria did that in lesser quantities.Why didn't the other Arab states follow suit?Because NASSER prevented it.Shrewdly,he invented a non-existent entity,the so-called 'Palestinian people' .
Mr.Abbas,'president' of 'Palestine' is what he writes:A passionate Jew-hater.When in Moscow,he wrote a 'book' in which he claimed that the Holocaust was a Jewish LIE.Having said that,I can't expect too much from a Holocaust Revisionist regarding his lack of respect towards Israel and its people.I have no doubt that ultimately he intends to harm Israel,not in military means,but political and social ones...
As Mr.Abbas depends heavilly on foreign support(i.e.MONEY),he won't see a dime from Washington if he can't manage to stop suicide bombings in Israel.His task is half-done because of the security fence/barrier Israel built,only after having nearly 900 of its citizens savagely butchered in 'martyrdom operations' against the 'Zionist enemy' during the last three years.
