The Associated Press is responsible for promoting an outright lie in this article: Abbas rejects changes to Israeli proposal.

RAMALLAH, West Bank - President Mahmoud Abbas on Monday said he would not accept any changes to a proposal calling for a two-state solution with Israel, raising the stakes in a dispute with the Islamic group Hamas ahead of a critical deadline.

The actual National Conciliation Document of the Prisoners, written by convicted killers in their jail cells, makes absolutely no reference to “a two-state solution with Israel.”

Earlier today we pointed out an article about this phony referendum that used the weasel words, “implying recognition of Israel.” This latest AP article doesn’t even bother to weasel; it just baldly states a falsehood as fact.

This is the section that mainstream media is trying to make us believe “implicitly” recognizes Israel:

1- the Palestinian people in the homeland and in the Diaspora seek to liberate their land and to achieve their right in freedom, return and independence and to exercise their right in self determination, including the right to establish their independent state with al-Quds al-Shareef as its capital on all territories occupied in 1967 and to secure the right of return for the refugees and to liberate all prisoners and detainees based on the historical right of our people on the land of the fathers and grandfathers and based on the UN Charter and the international law and international legitimacy.

Can you count the total non-starters in that paragraph? Right of return, give back all territory occupied in 1967, free all prisoners, Jerusalem as Palestinian capital…

Give me a break. There’s nothing new here at all. It’s the same old package of absolutist Palestinian demands.
