The Times of Israel reports Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas told reporters in Egypt that no Israelis would be allowed to remain in a future Palestinian state.
“In a final resolution, we would not see the presence of a single Israeli — civilian or soldier — on our lands,” Abbas said following a meeting with interim Egyptian President Adly Mansour in Cairo.
This shocking statement, which seeks to ethnically cleanse a future Palestinian state of Israelis, goes even further than the racist policies of apartheid segregation. While the media rarely questions the apartheid canard with reference to Israeli’s Arab citizens who enjoy equal rights under the law and comprise 20% of Israel’s population, Abbas’ statement should cause a storm of media criticism.
