	Who is Mahmoud Abbas?
		Abbas is one of the only Palestinian leaders to recognize Israel, but still he maintains that terrorism is not an evil agent, (and will not act against it) but that it is simply a tool that has damaged Palestinian aspirations, and only impedes progress towards the PA gaining political leverage in the peace negotiations.
		The central claim Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen) sought to prove is that the Zionist movement, with all its factions, conspired against the Jewish people and collaborated with the Nazis to annihilate it, because the movement considered "Palestine" the only appropriate destination for Jewish emigration from Europe.
		Abbas goes on to suggest that number of actual Jewish victims of this pre-conceived Zionist plot was well under the acclaimed 6 million figure, and that the number was contrived by Zionists to extract spoils of war from the victorious allies.

	A Conversation with H.E. Mahmoud Abbas - Council on Foreign Relations
		ABBAS: All that we need is a clear American position regarding the issues of permanent status, and as I said many times, the issues of permanent status should be subject to negotiations; they should not be judged or prejudiced prior to negotiations between the two sides over these issues.
		ABBAS: There is a difference between basically jumping over a phase of the road map and go straight to the third phase of the road map and start to discuss these issues now and prepare for them and come up with creative solutions.
		ABBAS: Regarding the issue of the reaction, I believe when I talked with him the first time before, and when I talked to him this time, the reaction that I got from President Bush about the wall was a negative reaction from him.

	Can Mahmoud Abbas make peace? - By Ed Finn - Slate Magazine
		Mahmoud Abbas, referred to by Palestinians as Abu Mazen (a nickname meaning "Father of Mazen," after his eldest son), has risen to prime minister less because of his brilliance than for his durability.
		Abbas has been a relative peacenik since the late 1970s, when he was one of the first senior members of Fatah to talk with the Israeli left.
		Yet Abbas is still careful to claim his superior's full support in public: After his speech at Aqaba, he told a Ramallah news conference that the position he outlined was "fully coordinated with President Arafat." But both men wish to control Palestinian politics, which means their interests must soon collide.

		Far from an explicit choice of programs, the mobilization around Mahmoud Abbas within the framework of the autonomous Authority is actually related to a legitimizing vote in favor of the president of the PLO Executive Committee that Fatah has controlled since 1969.
		Mahmoud Abbas' room for maneuver with regard to his fellow citizens is consequently extremely limited.
		Abbas is due to travel on Wednesday to Gaza City, the stronghold of the Islamist movements Hamas and Islamic Jihad, for talks with their leaderships about securing a new ceasefire.
