There are three versions of Mahmoud Abbas' speech at the UN.

One is the official English version. One is the official Arabic version, which includes explicit support for paying terrorists and their families. And the third is the actual speech as given, where Abbas added a bizarre history lesson that no one seems to have discussed.

The conclusion of Mahmoud Abbas' speech at the UN, as officially translated into English by the Wafa news agency, was this:

In conclusion, I salute all our Palestinian people in Palestine, in the refugee camps and Diaspora and across the world and express our pride in them. I tell them: we are confident that this occupation, like all occupation that preceded it, will inevitably end; that the dawn of freedom and independence is coming; and that the oppression and aggression they have endured for so long will not last. A right is never lost as long as someone strives to claim it.

We salute our honorable martyrs, courageous prisoners and wounded heroes, and salute their resilient families who we will not give up on their rights. We salute to those remaining steadfast in our beloved homeland. The date of our freedom and the independence of State with its eternal capital Al-Quds is soon approaching.
The official Arabic transcript adds that Abbas' speech explicitly supported paying terrorists to the last penny of the PA's budget, and the video of the UN translation added an additional bizarre claim about how most countries have been "occupied." Here is the UN version as Abbas said it; you can watch it here starting at 23:15.



In conclusion, I salute all our Palestinian people in Palestine, in the refugee camps and Diaspora and across the world and express our pride in them. I tell them: we are confident that this occupation, like all occupation that preceded it, will inevitably end. Many countries have been occupied, including the United States - it was occupied once, and that occupation ended. In Europe and Africa, Latin America, we have seen many forms of occupation, and we say that the occupation of Palestine will end, Allah-willing, as it has ended in other countries, and we will continue to call for respecting our rights. A right is never lost as long as someone strives to claim it.

We salute our honorable martyrs, courageous prisoners and wounded heroes. We salute their resilient families. We will protect your rights regardless of the cost. I will not accept the claims of Israel. Even if I have only one penny left, I will give this penny to the families of the martyrs , the prisoners and heroes, and I will not accept these demands.

Peace, mercy and blessings of God. 
I have no idea what he is talking about when he says the US was occupied. Texas in the Mexican American War?

Notice in the video the shot of Saeb Erekat and other PLO officials applauding the pro-terrorist statements.

The fact that the Palestinian Authority erases their explicit support for paying terrorists in their English translation has a silver lining. It shows that they are a bit embarrassed by their "pay to slay" policy. In Arabic, sure, they are proud to pay terrorists, but to the Western world they know this is not going to win them any points so they simply whitewash it.




We have lots of ideas, but we need more resources to be even more effective. Please donate today to help get the message out and to help defend Israel.
