Mansour Abbas calls on armed Palestinian factions to throw down their weapons, work with PA to establish state
2023-12-02
[IsraelTimes] Ra’am chairman MK Mansour Abbas
...political head of the political arm of the Southern Branch of the Islamic Movement, the Muslim Brotherhood in Israel. Like Muslim Brotherhood parties elsewhere, they will ride the train down the iron rails of democratic politics and charity until the train reaches their station at the formation of the Caliphate, avoiding as much as possible all that messy bloodshed until afterward. It’s also important to check his public statements against what he says in private in Arabic, just in case taqqiya is involved...
becomes the first Arab party leader in Israel’s history to publicly call on the armed Paleostinian factions to demilitarize and work with the Paleostinian Authority in order to establish a Paleostinian state through non-violent mostly peaceful means.

"In order to move forward, the Paleostinian Death Eater groups need to throw down their arms. They need to work hand in hand with the Paleostinian Authority in order to realize a national movement that will aspire for a state of Paleostine in a peaceful solution alongside the state of Israel," Abbas tells CNN
...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for...
in a rare interview with international media.

Abbas, whose Islamist Ra’am party was the first independent Arab-majority faction to join an Israeli coalition — the 2021-22 Naftali Bennett-Yair Lapid government — begins the interview by reiterating his condemnation of the October 7 massacres.

"Any action that is taken against innocent people — against women, children, elderly — is inhumane and it goes against the values of Islam as well. We categorically condemn this. This cannot be discussed or cannot be justified because it goes against all human values and religious values as well," he says.

"But at the same time, we cannot forget that there is a political struggle that is happening," Abbas continues.

"But the actions that the gangs have decided to take and to use violence in order to achieve their means looking at the past have always failed. The victim of each and every one of those Death Eater attempts have been the Paleostinian people who were the ones who paid the price. In this current conflict, we look at the number of people killed we’re talking about over 15,000 Paleostinians who bit the dust," he laments.

#4  Whoops! “Don’t hurt me!” update two hours ago:

The Ra’am party issues a clarification after party leader MK Mansour Abbas became the first Arab leader in Israel’s history to publicly call on armed Palestinian factions to demilitarize and work with the Palestinian Authority in order to establish a Palestinian state through non-violent means.

However, on Saturday, the party clarifies that “the intention of MK Mansour Abbas in his CNN interview was that the Palestinian state that will be established will be the body to disarm the factions as part of its establishing its rule.”

Israel’s Channel 12 says the statement comes after his remarks sparked widespread anger in Palestinian and Arab circles.
