[JTA] The umbrella body for U.S. Jewish groups expressed "deep concern" at the call by Mahmoud Abbas for Palestinians to "raise rifles" against Israel. "Let a thousand flowers bloom and let our rifles, all our rifles, all our rifles, be aimed at the occupation," Abbas said at a Jan. 11 rally in the context of urging Palestinians to end internecine warfare.

"His extreme rhetoric also undermines the diplomatic effort the U.S. administration is undertaking to try to make progress in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict." Last week, Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) wrote to U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice asking her to confront Abbas about the statement. 2007-01-19 01:00:00Full Article
