They choose to be willfully blind to a number of issues:
1. The PA is a dictatorship in every sense of the word, with Mahmoud Abbas controlling every branch of government outside of Gaza.
2. The PA has failed to create the trappings of a state, even 30 years after Oslo, with massive amounts of aid and technical help.
3. The Palestinian hate the PA. They know it is corrupt.
4. Three decades after Oslo, an entire generation of Palestinians have been taught not peace, but hate. PA education has prompted the vast majority of West Bank Palestinians to fully support terror attacks.
5. During and after the 10/7 massacre, the PA has solidly backed Hamas.
6. Abbas has not set up any real succession plan, and the likely candidates to replace him have no backing among the people. In the chaos that follows his death, the most likely successor will be a terrorist.
And it even became more crazy, with the news that the PA Ministry of Foreign Affairs has latched onto the latest conspiracy theory and treats it as fact.
The preliminary investigation by the Israeli police reveals the falsity of the media materials fabricated by the occupation to justify its aggression against the Gaza Strip.According to the Hebrew media, the preliminary investigation by the Israeli police proved that Israeli helicopters bombed Israeli civilians on October 7th who had participated in the nature festival, whichmeans that the Israeli warplanes caused great destruction in the region and part of the settlements after the so-called “Hannibal Protocol” was activated, which... The occupation police and army can killeveryone.Accordingly, the Ministry considers that the result of this investigation casts doubt on the Israeli accounts regarding the destruction and killing that occurred in that area, especially with regard to the photos and videos that reflect the destruction and fires that broke out in many homes as a result of thisbombing.The Ministry calls on all media outlets, UN officials, and country leaders to follow up on this issue, pay attention to what the Hebrew media published about it, and review their positions in light of that.11/19/2023
The post, which seems to have been removed, claims that the Israelis massacred on October 7 were really killed by Israel. This has become a popular rumor in the past couple of days, twisting a Haaretz article that already was refuted by Israel's police.
Advocating for a Palestinian Authority-led state that eagerly pounces on and expands on the most outrageous lies - and demands that the world believes them! - is insanity.
Yes, all the other alternatives are bad. Israel doesn't want to re-occupy Gaza, nor does it want to govern the West Bank. Jordan sure doesn't want the West Bank and Egypt does not want Gaza. (Funny how most nations always want to expand, but Palestinians are so troublesome that everyone wants to stay away as far as possible.)
But the Palestinian Authority has proven that it cannot be trusted to run a daycare center, let alone a nation. And as much as they claim that it would be terrible if Palestinians would emigrate to other Arab countries, allowing millions of Palestinians who want to leave to become citizens of other Arab countries would be the best possible move, and one that should be the top priority - if the world really wants to do something to reduce terrorism.
