Mr. Abbas taught me something about Oliver Cromwell, Proto-Zionist - by Elder of Ziyon

Thanks, Abbas! Tomorrow we'll look at your less-accurate claims.

Elder of Ziyon..
14 January '18..

Mahmoud Abbas made a very strange, bizarre, ahistoric speech to the Palestinian Central Council meeting on Sunday.

The New York Times summarizes part of his speech:

Testing his audience’s attention, Mr. Abbas also gave a lengthy history lecture reaching back to the 17th century, saying that Oliver Cromwell had first proposed shipping European Jews to the Holy Land, before tracing the beginning of Zionism to what he called the 19th-century journalist and activist Theodor Herzl’s efforts to “wipe out Palestinians from Palestine.” “This is a colonial enterprise that has nothing to do with Jewishness,” Mr. Abbas said. “The Jews were used as a tool under the concept of the promised land — call it whatever you want. Everything has been made up.”

I plan to fisk some of his more outrageous claims, but the Cromwell thing seems not too far off!
