Melanie Phillips Isn't Impressed by Abbas's Acknowledging the Holocaust

She writes:

The wishful thinkers are swooning over Abbas calling the Holocaust “the most heinous crime to have occurred against humanity in the modern era”. So what? He has acknowledged the Holocaust before. As he wrote in his doctoral thesis, he thinks the Jews helped perpetrate it. 

And now he plans to form a government with people who want to bring about another one.

FYI, Abbas made his statement in response to a wishful thinker's question.
