Introduction
They have called him an “ignoramus,” a “rich adolescent,” and an “irrelevant clown”; they burned and trampled his picture across Palestinian cities; and with the ultimate arrogance they trivialized their number one donor country, saying no good ever came from all the American aid. These are just some of the expressions of mockery, ridicule, and disdain by Mahmoud Abbas’ Palestinian Authority and Fatah Movement toward the US and its president Donald Trump following Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
This report is not exhaustive but offers a selection of the hate speech and disdain expressed by the PA and Fatah leadership and the media under their control.
