On Wednesday, The New York Times, decades too late, finally expressed the opinion that Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas is an anti-Semite and should be deposed so Palestinians and Israelis can create a genuine peace — but it was as disingenuous an op-ed as the Times has ever written.
The Times noted Abbas’ recent comments in which he said millions of Jews murdered in the Holocaust were killed because of their financial dealings, not simply because they were Jews. As the BBC reported, speaking before the Palestinian legislative body, Abbas ranted, “So the Jewish question that was widespread throughout Europe was not against their religion, but against their social function, which relates to usury (unscrupulous money lending) and banking and such.”
