"Indeed, the very day after his Israel television interview, Abbas told an Arab news station that he had not abandoned what he calls the "Palestinian right of return," indicating that his end goal remains the destruction of Israel as the Jewish state."

And Hamas still openly calls for the destruction of Israel. Many Palestinians still support Hamas. What percentage of the Palestinian population supports the destruction of Israel? It has to be 80-90%.

All Abbas is doing is carrying on the same strategies that Arafat used. Here is a quote from Arafat:
"Since we cannot defeat Israel in war we do this in stages. We take any and every territory that we can of Palestine, and establish sovereignty there, and we use it as a springboard to take more. When the time comes, we can get the Arab nations to join us for the final blow against Israel." (Yasser Arafat speaking on Jordanian television, September 13, 1993)

ok, i read that article. but it doesn't say just how abbas indicated that. what is that statement based on? i don't see any quotes that say that, or what they point to in order to make that assumption.

and an arafat quote isn't an abbas quote, and arafat is dead. and like i said above, i figure you're confusing abbas with hamas.

There is a lot in wikipedia about the "right to return." What that means is that the Palestinians would return to the homes and properties that they lost that are now within the state of Israel. If that happened, the state of Israel would no longer be primarily a jewish state and therefore it would be destroyed. This was a major sticking point in the negotiation between Ehud Barak and Yasser Arafat at Camp David in 2000. The Palestinians wanted this right to return. Israelis wanted to set up a 30 billion dollar fund that would compensate the Palestinians for the loss of their land and property within the State of Israel.
