ICEJ NEWS REPORTS:
Palestinian official denies existence of Jewish People
PLO Ambassador to Chile Imad Nabil Jada’a addressed a conference in Santiago in May in which he said, among other things, that the Palestinians “don’t recognize the existence of the Jewish people” adding “This is not my personal analysis. Here we can refer to the Jewish Israeli professor from the University of Tel Aviv, Dr. Shlomo Sand, in his book ‘The Invention of the Jewish People.'” He added that, in his analysis, the Zionist Movement was conceived in “1896 when a group of academic intellectuals, financial advisers, majority being non-Jewish Europeans, decided to create the Zionist movement with one pretext/excuse; the creation of a homeland for the Jewish people. Although the truth is that this (the goal) is to protect their plans of dominating life in the entire planet.”

In related news, the Palestinian Authority expressed “shock” this week after India abstained rather than vote in favor of an anti-Israel resolution at the UN Human Right’s Council in Geneva. The PA envoy to India lamented the fact that the abstention marked a shift in India’s traditional antipathy towards Israel at the UN which, as he noted, has until now held steady for “the last seven decades.”
