The PA official's claim follows a meeting in Jordan last week between PA President Mahmoud Abbas and George Mitchell, Obama's envoy to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. At a press conference immediately following the meeting, Abbas declared the Palestinian "right" to "resistance" against Israel.The Israeli Prime Minister's office recently made public a U.S. demand for a four-month freeze of Jewish construction in eastern Jerusalem. In exchange the U.S. promised it would coax Abbas into direct negotiations with Israel regarding the establishment of a Palestinian state. Funny thing is if the United States was able to do that before, why didn't they? It sounds as if Obama is collaborating with the PA against Israel.The Palestinians have listened to Obama's direction and have been engaged in riots and street violence targeting Jews in Jerusalem.
