I still can't believe the Pope called Abbas a "man of peace"

Yes, the Pope really said to Mahmoud Abbas, "Mr President, you are known as a man of peace and a peacemaker."

Abbas is the person who bankrolled the Munich Olympic massacre.

This is the person who had bragged that he hasn't budged an inch in negotiations with Israel, and that the Palestinian Arab position hasn't changed since 1988.

This is the person who pretended to dismantle the terrorist groups who belong to the party he heads and never did.

This is the person whose party he leads says, today, that terror is acceptable.

This is the person who publicly celebrates murderers and calls them heroes.

How can anyone call Abbas a "man of peace?"

Unless, of course, you mean that he is willing to bend over backwards to make peace agreements - with terrorist organizations.

Honestly, the only thing remotely peaceful about Abbas is that he no longer actively encourages direct terror attacks against women and children, even while he still praises those who do. To say that this makes him into a "peacemaker" is not only wrong, but an outrage.
