From Times of Israel: A senior Palestinian official Monday condemned the participation of US envoys in the unveiling of an archaeological site in East Jerusalem and scoffed at the “fake” account of Jewish history attributed to the subterranean road.

Erekat claims Coptic church bombings aimed at Palestinian cause

There is no news story that Palestinians don't try to twist to be about them.

Then he said that they were aimed at Egypt and Egypt's principles, including Egypt's support...

Saeb Erekat threatens "chaos, lawlessness and extremism"

Saeb Erekat continues to do what he does best - threaten the world with terror if people don't toe the Palestinian line. On Friday: A senior Palestinian official warned on Friday that implementation of Donald Trump’s pledge to relocate the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem would destroy any prospects for peace with Israel, even as a spokesman for the U.S. President-elect said...

Saeb Erekat keeps showing his hypocrisy

PLO negotiator Saeb Erekat writes in Wafa: It is time for Israelis to confront reality: when the Zionists came to Palestine, there were another people living here. Over 100 years ago, a Zionist mission was sent to Palestine and their report acknowledged this fact: "The bride is beautiful but she is married to another man." And this: soon plans to displace Palestine's population...

Today's list of lies by Saeb Erekat

Haaretz reported on Sunday: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stressed Sunday that despite the arson-murder of a Palestinian family and recent reports of growing Jewish extremism, there was no room for comparison between Jewish acts of terrorism and Arab acts of terror. "There is a difference between Arab terror and Jewish terror," Netanyahu said at the beginning of the...

Justifying terror, Saeb Erekat says that stabbing random Jews is considered "self defense"

From the NYT: “East Jerusalem is the capital of Palestine,” Saeb Erekat, a senior Palestine Liberation Organization official, said on Voice of Palestine radio. “If they think that they can reach security with these measures, they are wrong. The Palestinian people will continue to defend themselves.” The bolded sentence is a direct threat - Israeli defensive measures are...

Saeb Erekat lies again, claims he was arrested at 13 for graffiti when he was throwing stones

The PLO's Negotiations Affairs Department recently issued a pamphlet supporting the right to "popular resistance." In that pamphlet, Saeb Erekat writes a short essay that begins this way: A few days after Israel occupied my hometown of Jericho in 1967, I was arrested by Israeli soldiers while writing graffiti:“down with the occupation, free Palestine.” This act of peaceful...

If you accuse Israel of "genocide" and compare it to ISIS, you are welcome to speak at J-Street!

Guess who is speaking at the annual J-Street conference? PLO negotiator Saeb Erekat! Yes, the same Saeb Erekat who recently compared Israel to ISIS. The same Saeb Erekat who routinely accuses Israel of "genocide." The same Saeb Erekat who claimed that 96% of those killed in Gaza were civilians. The same Saeb Erekat who claimed that his family had been in Palestine for...

Saeb Erekat under pressure to resign because of Schabas affair

PA officials are blaming PLO chief negotiator Saeb Erekat for his role in forcing the resignation of William Schabas from the UNHRC's commission of inquiry/kangaroo court on the Gaza war. There are rumors that Erekat might resign for his role in this affair. The sources say that since the PLO had paid Schabas for legal work, he was somehow forced to lie to the UNHRC...

Saeb Erekat says "settlements" are just as heinous as beheading people

From Ma'an: Top PLO negotiator Saeb Erekat has called the ongoing expansion of Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank "terrorism," even making comparisons between Israel and the Islamic State militant group in Iraq and Syria. "There is no difference between the terrorism practiced by the group led by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and Israel's terrorism," he said, referencing...

Saeb Erekat gets even nuttier (if that is possible)

From AFP: A senior Palestinian official on Tuesday likened Benjamin Netanyahu to the leader of the Islamic State group, after the Israeli prime minister compared Hamas to the organization. "Netanyahu is trying to disseminate fear of the Islamic State led by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, but Netanyahu forgets that he himself leads the Jewish state," said Saeb Erekat, the PLO's...

Yesterday, PLO negotiator Saeb Erekat added another to his long list of lies that he spouts to the media, and this one was a doozy: Escalating the Palestinian leadership’s rhetorical assault on Israel, the chief Palestinian Authority negotiator, Saeb Erekat, on Monday claimed that 96 percent of Gazans killed in the summer’s Israel-Hamas conflict were civilians, reiterated...

Erekat doubles down on Abbas' "genocide" accusation

Well, it is official: The Palestinian Arab leadership is accusing Israel of genocide. After Mahmoud Abbas made the accusation and the State Department denounced it, PLO executive committee member Saeb Erekat confirmed that, no, it was not a misstatement - this is what the PLO really thinks. Erekat said that "genocide was practiced by the Israeli government on the...

Saeb Erekat's lie of the day, in Time magazine

Saeb Erekat published an anti-Israel screed in Time claiming that Israel is not interested in peace and the PLO, trying to merge with terrorist group Hamas, is. Among the many lies comes this gem: Frankly, it is difficult to understand how anyone could expect us to negotiate with such a government. And yet we have, in good faith, offering concession after concession for...

Saeb Erekat admits he is a Jordanian Bedouin, not a "Canaanite"

On February 2, after Saeb Erekat claimed to be descended from 10,000 year old Canaanites, I was the first to show that his family actually came from the Huwaitat tribe which was on the Arabian peninsula, between what is now Saudi Arabia and Jordan. Apparently, an Israeli columnist at Israel Hayom mentioned this as well a week later, and the Arab media picked up on it. (Here...

Saeb Erekat spoke at the Oxford Union on Friday night, although for some reason his statements do not seem to have been reported in English. Arabic media reports that he resorted to his usual threats unless Israel caves to the demands of the people they supposedly oppress. (It is remarkable how the "oppressed" act like they have the upper hand, isn't it?) This time, Erekat...
