“Israel and America will continue to have the upper hand if we don’t work to activate the Palestinian Authority and prove we are partners, carrying out our duties, despite the occupation.”
– former PLO Arab Prime Minister puppet Mahmoud Abbas.
I see. Proving they are peace partners and carrying out their duties is only called for to counteract the perceived “upper hand” of Israel and America, and not because it is the right thing to do or what they pledged to do in the first place.
