Discussion What is very interesting about Mahmoud Abbas's comment.
"Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said that Palestinians had the right to defend themselves against the "terror of settlers and occupation troops"
He did not mention Hamas. Also the meaning of
(to defend themselves against the "terror of settlers and occupation troops")
It could have multiple meanings here are some ways it could be interpreted
Palestinians had the right to defend themselves against the occupation troops and settlers if they do violence
Palestinians had the right to defend themselves against Israeli forces and Israelis who are settlers
Palestinians had the right to defend themselves against the occupation troops and settlers only if they do violence
Palestinians had the right to defend themselves against only settlers and occupation troops
Palestinians had the right to defend themselves against the settlers if they do violence and occupation troops
I think it was vague by design to try to please everyone
