Abbas’ advisor: The US is “occupying Palestine,” “through its colonialist branch Israel”

• Abbas’ advisor: “The one who is occupying Palestine is the US… The one who is thwarting peace… is the US through its colonialist branch, which is Israel”
   
• The US and Israel are planning “a new Holocaust… to annihilate the Palestinian people” - Egyptian journalist on PA TV

Two days after Hamas’ attack against Israeli civilians – the murder of more 1,300 Israelis, wounding of more than 3,300, and capturing of at least 199 hostages including children – PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas’ advisor Mahmoud Al-Habbash accused the US of “occupying Palestine” and hindering “peace” via its “colony” Israel: 
 

PA Supreme Shari’ah Judge and Abbas’ advisor Mahmoud Al-Habbash: “We are being subjected to American aggression. [PA] President Mahmoud Abbas said this clearly: The one who is occupying Palestine is the US… It claims that it is sponsoring the peace process. This is a lie. The one who is thwarting peace in practice is the US through its colonialist branch, which is Israel.”

After US President Biden unequivocally vowed before the entire world that the US stands behind Israel in the war against Hamas, PA TV broadcast an Egyptian journalist echoing Abbas’ advisor, calling Israel “an evil force,” which the US supports in a “plot” to exterminate the Palestinian people: 

Egyptian journalist Mustafa Bakri: “We are standing against an evil force, which is being supported by the US that sent its ships and its aircraft carriers to stand facing the Gaza Strip coast and the Lebanese coast. What is happening is a new holocaust, a large plot whose goal is to annihilate the Palestinian people.”

Palestinian Media Watch has shown that PA Chairman and PA leaders fully support Hamas' terror war against Israel, claiming Israel is the "aggressor," worse than the Nazis.
