The Moderate Leader

Ah, what a little burden truth becomes when it gets in the way of moderation. Taken from the Jerusalem Post:
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on Saturday reiterated his rejection of Israel's demand to recognize it as a Jewish state. "From a historical perspective, there are two states: Israel and Palestine. In Israel, there are Jews and others living there. This we are willing to recognize, nothing else," Abbas told reporters before leaving for Saudi Arabia where he met Saudi King Abdullah for talks on the results of the Annapolis conference.

I am so glad that PA Chairman cleared up any ambiguity in his position on Israel being the Jewish state.
