I, for one, believe him completely
Thank you, Mr. President.
I take the floor on behalf of UN Watch.
My name is Mosab Hassan Yousef. I grew up in Ramallah as a member of Hamas.
I address my words to the Palestinian Authority, which claims to be the “sole legitimate representative” of the Palestinian people.
I ask: where does your legitimacy come from?
The Palestinian people did not elect you, and they did not appoint you to represent them.
You are self-appointed.
Your accountability is not to your own people. This is evidenced by your total violation of their human rights.
In fact, the Palestinian individual and their human development is the least of your concerns.
You kidnap Palestinian students from campus and torture them in your jails. You torture your political rivals. The suffering of the Palestinian people is the outcome of your selfish political interests. You are the greatest enemy of the Palestinian people.
If Israel did not exist, you would have no one to blame. Take responsibility for the outcome of your own actions.
You fan the flames of conflict to maintain your abusive power.
Finally, you use this platform to mislead the international community, and to mislead Palestinian society, to believe that Israel is responsible for the problems you create.
Thank you.

Why? There must be a reason other than you wanting to believe it.
I don't claim he's right or wrong, I just don't believe anything someone says. I'm open to the idea though, but I don't think Israel is innocent in the slightest as I'm sure Palestine isn't either.

Quite frankly you can use the same speech for the Saudi Royal Family who govern in their own right.
Many other countries as well.
My question is this. How did this guy get to make the speech. Who supports him.

He's obviously a paid stooge. Don't be so naive to say, "I, for one, believe him completely".

"Someone" knows the truth concerning the PLO.
Israel cannot be trusted inside or outside the US.
Too many Jewish within the US want the US to backup Israel come hell or highwater. Our government is receiving something from Israel to continue this charade of gamesmanship and lies.
Those within know the truth of true Israeli endgames but are too afraid to come forward-Israelis can be cruel beyond belief and America follows.
As long as the complicated ties between the middle east, America, and Israel continue unabated and hidden, there will be no end to the lies, pain, death and conflict.

If you believe being Jewish is not being Israeli or pro-Israeli, you might be trying a little too hard to be politically correct.
Granted, an opinion. I have known Jews (half my family) and Palestinians and spoken to those who experienced the 7-day war. I was in Israel 2 days after the that "war."
Yes, it is my "opinion." And yes, I am old but I was young then.

Well he was hot af. Maybe that's what did it for the OP?
Aside from that, I'd like to see a fact-check going on for this guy as far as who he actually is and his history because he sounded like a plant (and yes, I just sounded like leftist version of Xuenchen there).
I know Palestine has some nasty elements to it but it's certainly not one-sided like this guy makes it sound.
