The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) on Thursday blasted Palestinian Authority (PA) chairman Mahmoud Abbas after he claimed in a speech to the European Parliament that Israeli rabbis called to poison Palestinian water and accused Israel of carrying out mass murders of Palestinian Arabs.
ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt said in a statement that Abbas "interspersed claims of an interest in reconciliation with Israel with base allegations against the Jewish state, which are reminiscent of age-old anti-Semitic stereotypes."
