“ A colonist violence is escalating with protection from occupying forces [Israel], based on laws based on racial discrimination, ethnic cleansing and state terrorism,” Mahmoud Abbas said in a speech filmed and broadcast in the general debate of the 81st UN General Assembly, which he was prevented from participating in person for the second consecutive year.
“ We warn you: do not allow another Nakba to occur,” said the president of the Palestinian Authority referring to Nakba, a “catastrophe” in Arabic, during which time about 760,000 Arabs from Palestine fled or were expelled from their homes when the State of Israel was created in 1948.
