On
Monday, Palestinian
President Mahmoud Abbas said to the parliament of the Palestine Liberation
Organization that it was the Jews’ social and economic function that caused them
the hostilities in Europe. Abbas also
said there is no historical basis for the Jewish Homeland, rather the creation
of Israel was a colonial establishment by the Europeans.
The
comments were met with strong opposition.
American Ambassador David Friedman, Jason Greenblatt, President Donald
Trump’s special envoy, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and even the
European Union responded with less than approval and were critical of the
statements.
