Abbas Stuns Israel, Implies Surrender of ‘Right of Return’

Abbas has caught Israel sleeping at the political chessboard and has checked, if not checkmated, the government by stating he will give up the demand for foreign Arabs to flood Haifa and Jaffa.

  1. The Jewish Press says:

    Retraction in three.. two…

  2. Josh Barrack says:

    Listen to the Arabic. I’m sure it was “We’ll give up Jaffa in return for Tel Aviv and you can have Haifa if we get Beersheva, Zichron Yaakov, Tiberias, and Eilat.”

  3. Hadassah Nicole DeJack says:

    this should be interesting.

  4. they don't want peace they want to steel are land and kill us.we cant trust them.

  5. William Schmidt says:

    Instead if worrying about Israel he should spend more time on helping his own people.

  6. Ben II says:

    Abbas will get his right of return straight to hell.

  7. Shirley Gruenhut says:

    I don’t believe a single word this terrorist murderer utters – even if he swears on his ugly mother’s eyes. Camel dung.

  8. Charna Carole Ball says:

    bull !!

  9. Charlie Hall says:

    If Abbas did say this, it is a game changer.


    Nobody with any morality ever said that Jews don't have the right to live wherever Jews want to live. The problem is that every government of Israel since Levi Eshkol subsidizing settlements on land that is not recognized by anyone else (and often not even by the Israel) as being within Israel's boundaries. Here is the definitive US position, stated over 45 years ago:



    This is a false statement. If you are a refugee who ends up in a country that does not grant birthright citizenship, you children can be stateless and therefore remain refugees. One such example are the Tibetan refugees in India (who are not citizens of India even though they may be third generation born in India). Most countries in the Eastern Hemisphere, including Israel, do not grant birthright citizenship and as a result refugee status can carry on for multiple generations. Most countries in the Western Hemisphere grant citizenship at birth to any person born with in the country's borders.

    "Israel has made hundreds of concessions over the years".

    That isn't really true. Rather, Israel has had a consistent position: It will recognize a Palestinian Arab State if and when the Arabs accept Israel as a Jewish State assuming that sufficient security arrangements can be made. The abandoning of "right of return" is the most important aspect of the recognition of Israel as a Jewish State (if Abbas really did to that).

  10. Eli Neuberger says:

    Abbas is quite adept at telling the crowd he is addressing, what they want to hear

  11. Charlie Hall says:

    Eli Neuberger That is why I'm questioning the veracity of this report. After all, the PLO accepted Israel's right to exist in the Oslo Agreements. It is right there in the text.

  12. In fact I once read that even in the United States the concept of becoming a U.S citizen at birth was originally instituted for the benefit of the African Americans.

  13. Charlie Hall says:

    Winston Smith That is correct — it is right there in the 14th Amendment which was added to overturn the Dred Scott decision.

    In the US you also are a natural born citizen if you are born outside the US if at least one of your parents is a US Citizen. That is how Ted Cruz can run for President even though he was born in Canada. And because Canada (and Mexico as well) have almost identical nationality laws to the US, Cruz is also a Canadian Citizen.

  14. So let me see if I understand this ridiculosity. In English or Hebrew, but never in Arabic, he proposes to "give up" Haifa and Jaffa, and in exchange we're supposed to be so happy about that we give him Jerusalem? Screw him.

  15. The nerve of Abbas to go around in a suit and tie.

  16. Bear Klein says:

    Abbas always says one thing to the West and contradictory things to the Arabs. PA state is a trap.

  17. Shira Louis Yashin says:

    Who does he speak for? He’s holding office illegally and has no support among the people.

  18. The fact that Abbas is presumably willing to give up this demand doesn't mean that Israel must surrender its principles.

  19. Alan Kardon says:

    When will he state that Israel has a right to exist?

  20. Alan Kardon says:

    Let him stand up at the UN General Assembly and state that Israel has a right to exist. We do not accept guess work.

  21. The Palestinian peoples are not to be trusted ever. They have never followed what they said they would do and I don't see them changing at all. They are the snake in the garden, the broken reed in Egypt, No good at all for Israel.

  22. Eric Edelman says:

    Not buying that he said this.

  23. Cody Flecker says:

    Knowing Israel like I do, the Israelis will capitulate to the Americans and half of Jerusalem will be lost to these savages. Trusting Obama and Kerry along with Abbas, is like trusting the Devil. Only with the Devil you have a choice as to which way you should go.

  24. Why should we trust him? He supposedly said that peace with Israel will be "final and binding". But, what does that mean? He has repeatedly said that he will never recognize Israel's RIGHT TO EXIST. Without that "concession", everything else is meaningless. And, what is Abbas telling his own people in Arabic? It is well known that he and other Arabs/Moslems say one thing to non-Moslems and quite another to their own people. After Oslo, Arafat told his own people to "remember the Treaty of Hudaybiya" which meant that any treaty with Israel was to be only temporary until the Moslems were strong enough to pursue their war. Abbas is a follower of Arafat. Is Abbas also thinking of Hudaybiya? What is Abbas doing to prepare his own people to give up Jaffa and Haifa? So far, nothing at all. On the contrary, those Israeli cities are continually referred to as "Palestinian" cities occupied by Israel.

  25. TomTuna says:

    Why give a psycho-killer a foot in the door?? And to ‘give sovereignty over Temple Mount’ ? What would King David say? How would that make G-D feel? How about this: close all borders and withhold all aid and provision for one month the next time a rocket enters Israeli air space? Now THERE’S a bargaining chip!


  27. Israel's pollicy is weak, since 1973 Yom Kipur war, with hard policy Israel would be respected in all the world, including 1967 war till 1973.

  28. benisrael says:

    Is this the same Abbas who denied giving up the “ROR” in the Olmert peace plan and then refused the peace offer into the bargain? 
    Sounds more like the loony left reading what they want to hear, rather than what was actually said.  Any leftist wishful thinking is not worth a red cent till Abbas signs on the dotted line of an accepted peace treaty and we all know his life expectancy after that will be exactly, Zero!  Not to mention the fact that it wont include Gaza and it will not end the conflict (another piece of leftist wishful thinking).
    The Palestinians have bred and indoctrinated two generations of cannon fodder with the promise of destroying Israel.  Does anyone but the loony left think they will lay down their arms and accept peace?

  29. Tim Upham says:

    They would be returning to a foreign country. Their grandparents houses would be gone. It would be once upon a time, grandpa used to live in this city.

  30. Abbas is full of crap. He mentioned Jaffa, Acre and Haifa–but he did not mention the rest of Eretz Yisrael. You believe this despicable Holocaust denier? I would spit in his face and walk out of the meeting. Tzipi Livni will be forever known as the Chamberlain of the Jews. She is a morally confused women who has been brainwashed by the Left.

  31. Dale Moshe Sumbureru says:

    Stunned? It was inevitable! Abbas knows if he insists on the right of return we would insist on the right of Jews from Arab lands being compensated for their losses. It would be in the billions of dollars they could not afford to repay.

  32. The only correct statement of fact in this article is that Abbas talks out of both sides of his mouth. His goal to dismantle Israel is the only "piece" whether through violence or western type dialogue. The liberal left like Livni, the US, and the EU are the true traitors and criminals because they are assisting his goals.

  33. What ever this "gentleman" said is totally useless and not relevant.
