Abbas Ignores Biden's Call to Condemn Terrorist Attacks
(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu Toameh and Tovah Lazaroff - Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas offered condolences Wednesday to visiting U.S. Vice President Joe Biden over the death of U.S. citizen Taylor Force in a terrorist stabbing in Jaffa on Tuesday, but stopped short of heeding a call by the U.S. to condemn the attack. Abbas told Biden that Israel has "killed 200 Palestinians in the past five months," but he did not clarify that many of those deaths were Palestinians killed attempting to execute attacks against Israelis.
