A few reminders on the 58th anniversary of Fatah's first terror attack

January 1 is considered the 58th anniversary of the Fatah movement.Just a few reminders about what exactly that means:1. Fatah was founded in the 1950s, but it doesn't celebrate the date of its founding. It celebrates the date of its first attempted terror attack, against Israel's national water carrier. It was the definition of a terror attack, an attempt to make most Israelis...

Mahmoud Abbas supports Russia's invasion of Ukraine: "Russia adheres to justice and international law"

Ever since the free world has been condemning Russia for invading Ukraine, modern Jew-haters have been trying to paint Israel as being like Russia.They tried to compare Ukraine to Gaza. They tried to compare Russia's occupation to Israel in the West Bank. Facts, of course, are not part of the conversation. Modern antisemites rely on emotion and analogy, as well as the...

Continuing on listing Mahmoud Abbas' lies at the UN on Friday.Since its inception, Israel has committed brutal crimes against our people, when it destroyed 529 Palestinian villages, expelled their residents from them during and after the 1948 war, and expelled 950,000 Palestinians, more than half of the Palestinian people at the time, from their homes, according to the records...

Continuing on exposing Mahmoud Abbas' lies in a single speech to the world...Moreover, the Israeli government allowed the formation of racist Jewish terrorist organizations that practice terrorism against our people, and provided them with protection as they attack the Palestinians and call for their expulsion from their homes.

From Ian: Melanie Phillips: The real reason for the war against Israel and the west The core reason, however, why the West has gone through the looking-glass over all this is its total incomprehension of anti-Semitism. No other prejudice shares the characteristics of anti-Semitism: its driving belief that the Jews control the world; that they are leaders of a conspiracy...

Mahmoud Abbas is trying very hard to look like a statesman in New York this week, including his anti-Israel speech he is giving today.
