'We got the slap of our times': Palestinian president rejects US as peace broker
2017-12-14
[DAWN] Paleostinian President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas

's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
That’s nice, dear. But the US has veto power in the Security Council, while the General Assembly has no power at all. And the only country that can push Israel is America, so...
In an impassioned speech at the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation's (OIC) extraordinary summit on Al Quds and Paleostine in Istanbul, Abbas said his people would no longer accept the US as a peace broker but added that they remain committed to international resolutions which have formed the basis of the process.
Just as committed as they were before, at any rate. That is to say, they are committed in English, and don’t even bother with taqiyya in Arabic.
The summit of the 57-member Organisation of Moslem Cooperation concluded with the Istanbul Declaration, outlining the bloc's response to Trump's declaration. It called the decision "null and void" and urged Trump to reconsider the move, which it said was an "unlawful decision that might trigger chaos in the region."
Those of you in the region are dealing with the results of the ISIS eruption, except for the Palestinians. How much more chaos can there be?
Abbas said Trump's decision was a "crime" which came at a time when the Paleostinians were engaged with Washington in a new push to reach what he said was anticipated to be the "deal of our times."

"Instead we got the slap of our times," Abbas said.

"The United States has chosen to lose its qualification as a mediator... We will no longer accept that it has a role in the political process from now."

The speech marked a significant shift in Abbas' approach toward the US, after years of focusing on courting US goodwill because of Washington's role as sole mediator in the Israeli-Paleostinian conflict.

Immediately after Trump's announcement last week, Abbas had said the US effectively disqualified itself as a broker, but Wednesday's speech was more sharply worded and delivered to a global audience.
Looking forward to the closing of your Washington, DC digs and the loss of about $200 million a year in donations?

#5  You were never going to make peace anyway.
The only way there is peace is if your fake organization is removed from the planet.

#3  How about this. Any country formally recognizing this so called Palestine as a country will considered to be declaring war on the United States and agrees to be exterminated from the face of the Earth. All such former countries land will be given to Israel to do with as they please.
