But he told supporters they need to be confident in Hezbollah’s capabilities and that the regional balance of power has changed. “I…

In an incredible anti-Semitic tirade, Israel’s supposedly moderate peace partner, Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas, blamed the Jews for their own near-annihilation in the Nazi Holocaust. In a rambling address to the Palestinian National Council in Ramallah on Monday, Abbas insisted that the Holocaust was the result not of Nazi anti-Semitism, but rather the Jews’ “social behavior, [charging] interest, and financial matters.” It was classic anti-Semitism, through and through. Abbas’ goal was to convince his listeners that the Jewish people have no right to live in the Holy Land, and, apparently, no right to live at all. US Ambassador to Israel…
