Iraq's President confirmed its stand by the Palestinians
[Shafaq News] On Saturday, the Iraqi President, Barham Salih, received a phone call from 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....
on Eid al-Adha
...a major Moslem holiday, marked by animal sacrifice and ritual rioting...
In a statement, the Iraqi presidency said they discussed the "ways to strengthen the solid relations that unite the two peoples."

President Abbas thanked Saleh for Iraq's "firm stances regarding the rights of the Paleostinians and their just cause."

In turn, Saleh affirmed Iraq's firm position, including its people and government, towards the Paleostinian cause, stressing that Iraq stands by the Paleostinian people to obtain their full legitimate rights.

Last April, the Iraqi parliament voted by a majority in favor of a law, "Criminalizing Normalization and Establishment of Relations with the Zionist Entity."

The law criminalizes activities including "traveling to or from Israel, visiting any of its embassies, participating in conferences linked to Israel, and promoting Zionist ideas."

Violations of the law are punishable by life in prison or even death. The anti-normalization law expands on a 1969 law criminalizing communication with Israel.

The legislation stirred a wave of controversy on the local and international levels. The US State Department said the new Iraqi law undermines freedom of expression and promotes "an environment of antisemitism."
