Abbas asks UN for Palestinian 'freedom'

Article


Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has formally asked the United Nations to recognize Palestinians as a full member state, telling the General Assembly in New York on Friday that no one "with a shred of conscience" would reject the bid.

 So , I got two questions to ask. Maybe three.  Who is this guy ? How did he get elected , and arn't there a lot of terrorists over in Palistine ? Was it a real election or did the terrorists point guns at everyone and tell them vote for me or i shoot you !

Palestine (Arabic: فلسطين‎ Filastin/Filasṭīn/Falasṭīn/Filisṭīn),^[3][2][i] officially declared as the State of Palestine^[1] is a state that was proclaimed in exile in Algiers on 15 November 1988, when the Palestine Liberation Organization's (PLO) National Council (PNC) adopted the unilateral Palestinian Declaration of Independence. At the time of the 1988 declaration, the PLO did not exercise control over any territory,^[4] and much of its claimed territory remains under Israeli occupation.^[5][6] It claims the Palestinian territories^[1] and has designated Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine,^[ii][2][3] despite Israeli control.


- wikipedia State of Palistine



So , a terrorist organization known as the Palistine Liberation Organization , with much blood on its hands, decided to declare a nation. Most of which was already part of some other nation (Jerusalem is part of Israel)




I can see why the Israeli's are upset already .

Ok. How valid is this "president's" election ?


Mahmoud Abbas (Arabic: مَحْمُود عَبَّاس‎, Maḥmūd ʿAbbās; born 26 March 1935), also known by the kunya Abu Mazen (Arabic: أَبُو مَازِن‎, Åbú Mázɩn), has been the Chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) since 11 November 2004 and became President of the Palestinian National Authority on 15 January 2005 on the Fatah (فتح Fataḥ) ticket.
Elected to serve until 9 January 2009, he unilaterally extended his term for another year and continues in office even after that second deadline expired


So we still don't know how valid those elections were, but we know his term of office is over. And he decided on his own to retain the title (being leader of a terrorist organization has it's perks) long after the term, extening it a few times and then not even bothering to extend it anymore , just self declaring himself some kind of president for life.

Speaking of elections. If some guy who's the leader of a terrorist organization and has been killing Israeli's for years suddenly declares him self president and holds elections ... who gets to vote ? You think all the Israeli's he's been killing will vote for him ? You think he'll even give them the right to vote ? And how's he setting up voting booths when the cops will arrest him and his people on sight  as terrorists ?

Obviously his election is entirely farcical.


In other words, a terrorist has declared himself president over some chunk of land he doesn't even have custody over , has zero mandate from any electorate over, and demands the UN recognize this.





Last time I checked, we shoot terrorists. We don't help them steal land from an ally and set up shop.
