Abbas highlights the claim of return to the "1948 occupied areas," which explains his insistence to represent and release Israeli Arab terrorists. Being a devout Muslim, and a former top Muslim Brotherhood activist, Abbas emphasizes the principles of waqf -- the supposed divinely ordained Muslim right over any area previously controlled by Muslims -- and Hudaybiyyah, which considers agreements concluded with "infidels" a pragmatic, provisional stage to be breached on the way to bringing the enemy to submission and not to peaceful coexistence.

To achieve the strategic goal, Abbas has spoken softly, while carrying a horrendous stick of hate education in schools, mosques and media, brainwashing Palestinian society and running the most effective production line of terrorists. One's education is the most authentic reflection of one's values, ideology and strategic goal. Hence, the popularity of the anti-Semitic "Mein Kampf" and "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" on the Palestinian Street. Hence, the Abbas-driven Palestinian conventional wisdom: It's not the size -- but the existence -- of the Jewish state.

The central role played by terrorism in shaping Abbas' worldview is highlighted by his demand to release Palestinian terrorists who deliberately and systematically murdered, maimed and intimidated Israeli civilians; by providing monthly allowances to families of terrorists; and by naming streets, squares and soccer tournaments after terrorists.
