Palestinian Authority demonizes Biden: “Biden should stand trial as a war criminal”

PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas’ senior advisor:

  • “The US is… a partner to a war crime… Even [US President] Biden himself must stand trial as a war criminal”

  • “The US is the true criminal in this war”

  • American soldiers “are invaders,” “are occupiers,” “are raiding this region” and Israel is a colonialist American interest”

Fatah Revolutionary Council member:

  • US is “the true enemy” of “Palestinian people”

The United States has been pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into the Gaza Strip over the last year while severely restricting Israel in its fight against Hamas. It has even withheld important ammunition. Nevertheless, Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas’ senior advisor declared that President Biden “should stand trial as a war criminal.” He also said that “the US is the true criminal in this war” and that he really does not “distinguish between a Democratic administration and a Republican administration.” Furthermore, he relegated Israel to being a mere “colonialist American interest.”

“The US is the true criminal in this [Gaza] war… Honestly, I don’t distinguish between a Democratic administration and a Republican administration. Both of them are equally bad, and both of them are enemies of the Arab cause and the Palestinian cause in the same way.”

“What are the American soldiers doing in this region? Is this their land? Are they guests in the region? Of course not. They are invaders. They are occupiers. They are raiding this region. They are attempting or taking action to defend the Zionist colonialist project. Israel is a colonialist American interest.”

Other Palestinian officials, such as Fatah Revolutionary Council member Abd Al-Mun’im Hamdan also called the US “the true enemy of our Arab nation and our Palestinian people.”

Palestinian Media Watch has documented numerous instances of the PA, through various mouthpieces, spitting on the American hand that has been feeding it. PMW will continue to monitor the way that the PA begs for funds while it pays salaries to terrorists through its Pay-for-Slay program and demonizes the United States at the very same time.
