Rami Reed:
can you please provide your source for your claim that Abbas “….said on Palestinian radio that he would not make peace with Israel because that would make him a traitor to his own people”.
Thanks in anticipation.
This interview was an anti Israel setup, having two interviewees who don’t even recognize that Abbas is the one who has consistently refused a Palestinian state. Who said on Palestinian radio that he would not make peace with Israel because that would make him a traitor to his own people. On the other side you have Hamas that wants to destroy Israel and all Jews everywhere.
I agree with Rami completely. Why not to try to get two sides of the political spectrum. These kinds of interviews are truly intent to get favour for the Palestinian side without allowing a voice for the Israeli side. It’s an embarrassment to the designers of such an attempt.
Two truly ugly characters who just like to lick each other. The result is creating more antagonism and more hostility.
