Benny Avni wrote a column under the title: “Abbas
says no to peace,” without specifying what kind of peace was offered that Abbas
said no to.
And so, in the interest of intellectual honesty
and truth-telling, we must now go over Benny Avni's piece of writing and
determine what spins, if any, were used by him to make the points that led to
such a conclusion. The column in question was published on September 27, 2018
in the New York Post.
Avni makes clear that the thesis he constructed
regarding what he believes has transpired, is based on his understanding of the
differences which exist between what President Donald Trump of the United
States wants, and what President Mahmoud Abbas of the Palestinian Authority
wants.
Here is how Avni formulated his understanding of
what the American President wants: “Trump said in his rambling press conference
he started to realize that peace between Israel and the Palestinians was very
important.” And here is how Avni formulated his understanding of what the
Palestinian President wants: “Everyone must pitch in for peace. The United
States alone? No, because they are biased toward Israel”.
Based on that, Benny Avni concluded that Mahmoud
Abbas –– the Palestinian leader whose country is under brutal Jewish occupation
–– does not want peace. From there, Avni went on to develop a full-blown
article in more than 700 words to expand on his point of view.
The first thing he did was hit the reader with two
irrefutable facts. One is that Abbas is aging; the other is that Palestine is
not quite a state. But despite these limitations, Abbas: “aims to lead a
worldwide anti-Trump resistance movement,” says Avni.
The next irrefutable fact that Benny Avni took
pain to mention was that “talks between Ramallah and [occupied] Jerusalem were
mostly chaperoned by Washington,” and that Mahmoud Abbas made clear “this will
no longer do.” His alternative is that “everyone must pitch in for peace. No to
the United States alone because they are biased toward Israel.” Well, my
friend, to you and me, this is as clear as two plus two equal four … but
apparently not to Benny Avni the Jew.
To explain the rules of his math, Avni begins by
quoting Abbas as saying that “Any country can join the Quartet [composed of]
America, Russia, the UN and the EU.” Obviously, Abbas aims to expand the
Quartet, thus turn the approach to peace talks into a multilateral endeavor that
will eventually replace the Quartet. But for some weird reason, Avni says that
this “ignores basic arithmetic laws,” without saying how so according to his
math.
But seriously speaking, is there something else
that's causing Benny Avni to believe that Abbas is rejecting peace? Well, to be
fair to him, it must be said that he did allude to something. It is this:
“Trump said his preferred outcome is a two-state solution, which means the
establishment of a Palestinian state.” But despite Trump's utterance, Avni explained
that Abbas assailed America in his UN speech. And Avni took that to mean that
Abbas does not want peace. Whoa! This is a mouthful that needs to be parsed.
First of all, Trump did not stop at saying what
his preference was. He went on to say that he'll agree to that outcome if both
sides ask for it. And the fact is that the Palestinian leaders, including
Abbas, have been asking for that outcome since Oslo. It was Israel that always
came up with a last-minute trick to torpedo the peace effort.
Moreover, the Palestinians have been saying that
America had the leverage to force Israel to accept the two-state solution. So,
the question is this: What happened to that leverage? Believe it or not, Trump
handed it to Israel on a silver platter without asking for anything in return.
Like they say: Fool me once; shame on you. Fool me
twice; shame on me. And the “aging” Mahmoud Abbas proved old enough to have
smelled and recognized the brand new Judeo-American rat. He ignored it to avoid
being fooled one more time.
And there is a good reason for Abbas to have
rejected the new trick. It is that the Jewish goal has not changed. What the
Jewish syndicate is trying to hand the Palestinians yet again, is the peace of
the grave. Its new game like the old game, is as clear and simple as two plus
two equal four.
The Jewish effort has always been and will always
remain the cultural genocide of Palestine, and where possible, the physical genocide
of its people.
