Abbas’ advisor: Israeli Jews are “herds of colonialists who come upon us from all over the world”

Mahmoud Al-Habbash: "The [Israeli] goal is to eliminate the Palestinian cause and push the Palestinians into a state of despair, frustration, and loss of hope. They [the Israelis] are deluded into thinking that this can push the Palestinians to surrender to Israeli plans, to emigrate from the homeland and leave it as a spoil in the hands of these herds of colonialists who come upon us from all over the world."
