Surprised Mahmoud Abbas Fails the Litmus Test?

...And any reporter or for that matter politician or "peace activist" who meets with Mahmoud Abbas and declines to ask him the real question is only engaging in self-deception.

Has Mahmoud Abbas turned the corner?

There is a simple litmus test.

If and when Israel gets its hands on the terrorists who kidnapped our three boys.

And the terrorists are still alive.

What does Mahmoud Abbas say Israel should do?

Does he say: Let those bastards rot in prison?

Or does he say: Israel must free all Palestinians it holds in prison without exception.

That's the real question.

That’s the real test.

Because so far, when one considers the position of Mahmoud Abbas on the release of the perpetrators of the most heinous terrorist attacks, it turns out that no matter how well written the press release, no matter how strong the sound byte, Abbas still insists that the terrorists be freed.

That's the real question.

That's the real test.

And any reporter or for that matter politician or "peace activist" who meets with Mahmoud Abbas and declines to ask him the real question is only engaging in self-deception.
