| [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Paleostinian President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... on Saturday retracted his allegation that Israeli rabbis had called for the poisoning of Paleostinian water, a remark that had drawn strong condemnation from Israel’s prime minister. "After it became evident that the alleged statements by a rabbi on poisoning Paleostinian wells, reported by various media outlets, are baseless, President Abbas has affirmed that he didn’t intend to harm Judaism or to offend Jewish people around the world," part of a statement by Abbas’s office said. The Western-backed Paleostinian leader made the remarks in a speech to the European parliament in Brussels on Thursday, as he condemned Israeli actions against Paleostinians amid stalled peace talks, which collapsed in 2014. Abbas’s speech received a standing ovation from European politicians, but his allegation about the water poisoning drew strong condemnation from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who termed it a "blood libel." For Jews, allegations of water poisoning strike a bitter chord. In the 14th century, as plague swept across Europe, false accusations that Jews were responsible for the disease by deliberately poisoning wells, led to massacres of Jewish communities. |
