SWC Decries Attempts to Place Palestinian Authority ‘Demands’ in Peace Deal between Saudi Arabia and Israel

September 11, 2023

The Simon Wiesenthal Center (SWC) urges U.S. negotiators discussing a peace deal involving Saudi Arabia, Israel, and the U.S. to drop Mahmoud Abbas and his corrupt Palestinian Authority as a counterpart of these discussions.

This comes on the heels of the SWC recently condemning Abbas’ remarks in which he said Adolf Hitler killed European Jewish not because of anti-Semitism but because of their “social functions” in society.

Rabbi Abraham Cooper, Associate Dean and Director of Global Social Action at the SWC, release the following statement:

“The SWC is placing Mahmoud Abbas on the highest tier of our Top 10 anti-Semites. Abbas leads a corrupt pay-to-slay Jews regime. There are many Palestinians without the taint of corruption and Jew hatred who must represent the Palestinian People in future negotiations with Jewish state.”
