Abbas Says He Won't Make Concessions On Jerusalem
2014-01-12
[Ynet] In firery Ramallah speech, Paleostinian president Abbas says 'Paleostinian people won't kneel, and we tell the world, listen... without east Jerusalem as a capital of the state of Paleostine, there will be no peace between us and Israel'
And there you have it: jihad by international pressure. All hail the cleverness of The Smartest Man In The Room and his secretary of state, The Third Smartest Man In The Room, who now have exactly what they worked for.
Abbas reveals himself to be a moderate Palestinian: instead of demanding all the land between the Jordan and the Med in a single gulp, he'll settle for the pre-1967 borders. After that's done he'll then demand all the land between the Jordan and the Med. See? A moderate...

#2  .....without east Jerusalem as a capital of the state of Paleostine, there will be no peace between us and Israel'

Translation: As long as there is an Israel, there will be no peace between us.
