PA official: Europeans created Israel to get rid of Jews

Abbas Zaki, PA representative to Lebanon:
     "We must understand why Israel was established… [The Europeans] wanted to get rid of the Jews… At that same time, energy [oil] was discovered in the Arab region… They solved the [Jewish] problem by exporting [the Jews to] Israel [and at same time] they imposed their hegemony on the region’s natural resources. The [purpose of the] State of Israel is not for the Jews, but is an ongoing [colonial] project, an outpost of Imperialism.”
