Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is claiming that the deals signed between Israel and the UAE and Bahrain are putting an end to conflict and bringing about peace. But this is what happened last week: haaretz.com/israel-news/.p…
UAE minister echoes claims that the agreement will bring peace. Here's a reality check: The deal will do nothing to achieve Palestinian freedom. Instead it will pave the way for Israeli spy tech to be sold in greater numbers to the UAE. #AbrahamAccordstheintercept.com/2016/10/17/how…
The UAE minister claimed that Trump "stopped" Israeli annexation of the West Bank. That's a lie. Israel has de facto annexed the West Bank. 300,000+ Israeli settlers live in the West Bank, surrounded by Israeli checkpoints and soldiers. That's annexation. #AbrahamAccords
If the #AbrahamAccords were really about "peace," why are these agreements being sealed with Trump's promises to sell deadly weapons in a region already awash in them? timesofisrael.com/trump-says-he-…
Bahrain's minister calls for a two-state solution between Israel and Palestinians. He's obscuring the facts on the ground--Israel has killed the two-state solution and erected a vicious apartheid system aimed at erasing the Palestinian presence #AbrahamAccords
