1. I believe the ugliest crime in modern....
Robert ,   Australia   (04.27.14)
.....history was the slaughter of more than 3,000,000 Vietnamese by the USA. The world should have learned from the past by then.
2. Amazing actors and LIARS these Arabs... say one thing to
Raza   (04.27.14)
ENGLISH SPEAKING media and the exact opposite to their people in Arabic. My God Americans are STUPID.
3. He makes this revelation when he's about to lose funding
Scott ,   Ramat Gan   (04.27.14)
Abbas cannot survive without international funding, much of which has made its way to his foreign bank accounts. Now that he's chosen to side with terrorists, he knows he's in danger of losing that funding & he will say anything to try to keep it. There are many anti-Semitic laws in the PA similar to Nazi Germany - It is forbidden for Jews to own property & selling property to Jews is punishable by death. Abbas has also stated that a palestinian state must not have any Jews.
4. Abbas' sacrifice
Moshe ,   Israel   (04.27.14)
As we realize Abbas, who in the past denied the Holocaust, is prepared now to go out of his way in order to release more Palestinian "heroes" from Israeli jails.

Gady ,   Mexico City   (04.27.14)

8. PA and Hamas are the ugliest Jewish terrorists today.
BUILD BABY BUILD !!!   (04.27.14)
their only goal is to destroy Israel and all her Jews with it, aint gonna happen. KEEP BUILDING!!
9. Shoah/holocaust
Sjoerd van der Velde ,   Hoorn, Holland   (04.27.14)
Nobody can deny that fact. Everybody has to admit that. Hopely will learn from it and avoiding to repeat that, everywhere and always. Also Israel, forever and always!
10. #3 The funding of PA
Moshe ,   Israel   (04.27.14)
It is not certain that Obama will let his likeable PA go bankrupt. Even if yes, will the Arab rich countries forsake their "brothers" ?
11. Thanks, but no thanks
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.27.14)
Israel is not going to suspend settlement construction; Israel will not drop its quid pro quo for "Palestinian" recognition of the State of Israel as a Jewish state, and Israel will very definitely not negotiate with any "Palestinian" entity that includes Hamas. Hamas, after all, is internationally recognized as a terrorist organization. The "Palestinians" are about to lose all their funding because of this latest ridiculous charade of "Palestinian" unification. And it isn't just Fatah and Hamas. There are at least twenty-eight additional terrorist organizations among the "Palestinians;" Abbas does not speak for them all. Abbas is a master at painting himself into a corner. This is just the latest version. All his machinations and trickery have not brought him any closer to an independent "Palestinian" state -- which would collapse under its own weight in any event -- yet he keeps making the same mistakes, over and over again. Einstein defined insanity as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome. This time, I think Israel has really come to recognize the futility of it all, and will annex Judea and Samaria. Following that, the Arabs resident therein will either be repatriated to Jordan, country of their citizenship, or to their brand new BFFs -- Gaza. In Gaza, they can practice their newly rediscovered "unity" up close and personal. It's high time Israel washed its hand of that terrorist rabble. They're a millstone around our necks -- send them packing; keep the land. The land belongs to us.
12. Up to 17 million murdered in Holocaust, not just Jews
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (04.27.14)
See... "List of Genocides by Death Toll"
13. I respect Abbas position, but he is wrong here.
Yeoshua F. ,   N.Y   (04.27.14)
Between 20 and 30 million people were killed in the Soviet Union in WWII as a result of the German invasion, most of them civilians. Are their lives worth less that the Jewish lives ? Between 10 and 20 million Chinese were killed as a result of Japanese aggression. Are their lives worth less that the Jewish lives ? Dancing to the tunes of the Israeli government´s propaganda industry will not win Abbas any sympathy. Israel is determined to build settlements all over the West Bank and wipe the Palestinians off the political map.
14. View on Holocaust
B. Bernard ,   New Mexico, USA   (04.27.14)
This is what he says this week. He changes according to his needs, circumstances, and audience. There is no truth or integrity in him.
15. So why did Abbas chose to write his thesis on...........
Benjamin   (04.27.14)
HOLOCAUST DENIAL? What a liar
16. Go on Mr. Abbas, make Peace with Peace-willing people,
(04.28.14)
only ongoing not stucking will bring development and than understanding and peace. And we need more of the Spirit of Nelson MANDELA.
