Ahmeds’ point is that if Israel cannot establish peace and justice within themselves how are they supposed to relay those values to Palestinians.

The President of the State of Palestine Ahmoud Abbas States “Our efforts are not aimed at isolating Israel or de-legitimizing it: rather we want to gain legitimacy for the case of the people of Palestine. We only aim to de-legitimize the settlement activities and the occupation and apartheid and the logic of the ruthless force, and we believe all countries of the world stand with us in this regard” (Abbas).…
