Palestinian President Unleashes Profane Rant Against Rest of the World
When bad words are all you have left because you chose to miss all the opportunities.
[FREEBEACON] Paleostinian president the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas
...aka Abu Mazen, a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial. While no Yasser Arafat, he has his own brand of evil, just a little more lowercase....
was recently caught badmouthing several countries, including the United States and his Arab neighbors, during a profanity-laced rant that raises new concerns about the 85-year-old leader's deteriorating health.

The Arabic language rant is renewing speculation that Abbas—who is overweight and a heavy cigarette smoker—is in poor mental and physical health as he carries out his 16th year in office. His government is under great strain amid monumental regional shifts that have seen Israel make peace with its traditional Arab foes.

When asked by an unidentified attendee at the Fatah political party's April 19 meeting what his message to China is on the 100th anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party, Abbas went ballistic.

"Fuck the c—t of China with a shoe!" Abbas screamed, according to an independent Arabic translation of his remarks provided to the Washington Free Beacon. "That good for you?"

After pausing for a few seconds, Abbas continued yelling: "And Russia, America, and all the Arabs. What's wrong with you? All of you go to hell!"

The rant raises new questions about Abbas's health ahead of Paleostinian elections scheduled for late May. The president's age and deteriorating health have been a much-discussed topic in the Israeli and Arab media for years, and it still remains unclear who is poised to succeed him. Peace talks between Israel and the Paleostinians have been mostly dormant in the wake of Israel's landmark peace agreements with leading Arab nations, including the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain.

Jonathan Schanzer, a Middle East expert and vice president for research at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, said Abbas is under "immense pressure" and may be reaching his breaking point. Israel's newfound peace with Abbas's traditional Arab allies also could be fueling his anger.

"Abbas has been under immense pressure to hold elections after being marginalized for the last four years by former president Donald Trump
...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons......
and a number of Arab states," Schanzer said. "He has felt alienated. Now he is boxed in. He is lashing out."

The leaked audio of Abbas was posted on social media by the Paleostinian-American pro-democracy advocate Fadi Elsalameen, a frequent critic of Abbas and his ruling regime. Elsalameen recently faced death threats from Abbas-backed snuffies due to his efforts to reform the Paleostinian government.

#1 Sorry, man. The thrill is gone. After a half century, we're just not that in to you anymore. Monumental regional shifts and all that. Plus, let's be honest: no one really cared about the Paleostinians except as a way to annoy the Israelis.

#2 At what point do you look around and realize your a failed state that has only failed to collapse entirely because you are propped up by the good graces of your stated enemy.

Someone should give him a plane ticket to Somalia so he can see the future of his people if they don't clean it up.
