Abbas reportedly ‘exploded in rage’ so wild he was ready to ‘overturn tables’ and described the potential deal, which reflects long-time consensus ideas, as ‘insanity’.

2. Abbas said NO from the get-go -- so disinterested in peace with Israel that he rejected America's ideas for a negotiation framework before he'd even seen a copy!

President Abbas' Palestinian Authority, its officials, media, schools and clergy regularly use incitement to teach hatred, including praising and quoting Hitler and Nazis, teaching that the Jewish People have no link to the Holy Land, Jews are 'the sons of apes and pigs', that terrorists who kill children are heroes, that the disappearance of Israel is inevitable, and that 'struggle' and 'resistance,' i.e. terrorism, is legitimate to realize that goal.
