Actually, the Jewish leaders of Palestine did accept it through the Jewish agency...

From your fave source, wiki...

The proposed plan was accepted by the leaders of the Jewish community in Palestine, through the Jewish Agency.[3][4] The plan was rejected by leaders of the Arab community (the Palestine Arab Higher Committee etc.),[3][5] who were supported in their rejection by the states of the Arab League.

As to Abbas and the PA, the PA (and that's Abbas) funds the magazine - they control all media in the W.Bank as well. Also, "the Palestinian Authority’s deputy minister of education and its former minister of education are both on the magazine’s advisory board, Samuels noted."

That makes Abbas and the PA responsible.

You know, if this was some one-off, that would be one thing. But this vile hatred and bigotry from Abbas and his PA (through Fatah) is routine.

Literally hundreds of examples there of what the PA does WRT Holocaust denial, distortion, admiration of Hitler, hatred vs. Jews, etc.

I don't see how anyone can rationally defend that and provide cover for Abbas.
