These are just the words of Abbas I found on video. He's also blamed Jews ("rabbis") for poisoning Palestinian water, he's blamed Jews for raising and releasing wild boars and dogs to attack Palestinian farmers, he's denied all Jewish connections to the land of Israel, he's embraced the Khazar theory that Jews aren't even Jews.
This is who Jeremy Ben Ami considers a dear friend. And the number of times he and J-Street contingent have visited Abbas in Ramallah indicates that he actually collaborates with Abbas in coming up with strategies to help destroy the Jewish state - in the name of "progressivism."
I'm not speaking hyperbolically. J-Street has even endorsed the "right of return" meant to destroy Israel. J-Street's official positions do not support Israel as a Jewish state - just like Abbas.
