A professional liar, with no experience, gets promoted by Mahmoud Abbas as new Governor of Nablus

For years, I have been following the career of Ghassan Daghlas, a man who has been paid by the Palestinian Authority to make up lies about alleged crimes of Israelis in Judea and Samaria.Over at least the last dozen years, Daghlas has been quoted hundreds of times in the media as he spun lurid tales of Jews attacking Arabs, virtually always without even a photo to back up...

Palestinians try to burn down Joseph's Tomb - twice. But don't call them antisemitic!

Joseph's Tomb in the early 1900sPalestinian media report:On Friday evening, security forces prevented angry youths from burning Joseph's Tomb in the city of Nablus in the northern occupied West Bank.Local sources reported that an angry march started at night in front of Balata refugee camp, east of Nablus, with the participation of dozens of young men, and headed towards Joseph's...

Wafa and a whole bunch of other Arab sources report:Settlers cut, today, Saturday, about 30 olive trees from Qaryut lands, south of Nablus.The official in charge of the settlement file in the northern West Bank, Ghassan Douglas, told "Wafa" that settlers cut down about 30 olive trees in the town's lands, owned by Bilal Mahmoud Raja.As I have shown before, Ghassan Daghlas is...

As usual, the Palestinian Authority lies about Jews taking over the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron

Al Resalah has an article about how Israel "exploits Jewish holidays to attack the Palestinians." Many Jews on vacation during Passover like to visit Biblical sites. These visits are described in the article as a fulfillment of Netanyahu's promise to annex the territories, even though this happens every year. Ghassan Daghlas, the man that the Palestinian Authority...

Palestinians are claiming Jews are burning their fields

As Palestinians are bragging about setting hundreds of fires in southern Israel, burning hundreds of acres and causing untold amount of damage, Palestinians are claiming that "settlers" are setting fires to their fields. We've discussed Ghassan Daghlas before. He is literally paid by the Palestinian Authority to make up stories about what "settlers" are doing. Practically...

Time for the annual olive harvest lies by the Palestinian Authority

The PA's official Wafa news agency reported on Sunday: Palestinian locals Sunday managed to foil an Israeli settlers’ attack against olive pickers in the village of Qaruot to the south of the West Bank district of Nablus, said a local activist. Ghassan Daghles, monitoring Israeli settlement activity in the north of the West Bank, told WAFA settlers coming from 'Eli’...

Today's fake news from the Palestinian Authority

How Arab newspapers illustrate "Jewish settlers" The official Wafa news agency has another scoop courtesy of Ghassan Daghlas, the man who is literally paid by the Palestinian Authority itself to make up lies about Jewish settler activity and yet gets quoted by major news sources dozens of times a year even though he never backs up his accusations with any actual evidence. This...

Reuters' Luke Baker finds unverified Palestinian reports from a proven liar credible enough to tweet

A tweet from Luke Baker of Reuters: The article he linked to is from Wafa, the official PA news agency: Settlers set fire to farming land south of Nablus NABLUS, November 24, 2016 (WAFA) – Israeli settlers from Yitzhar Thursday set fire to farming land in the town of Huwwara, south of Nablus, according to Ghassan Daghlas, an official who monitors settler activities...

PA news says Israel trying to establish a "settler state" in Judea and Samaria

The hookah bars in Ramallah must be doing some gangbusters business. From the official PA Wafa "news" agency: Statistics revealed that the number of demolitions and confiscations by Israel in the West Bank and East Jerusalem in 2016 have increased by 450% in comparison to 2015, signaling a covert attempt to establish a state for Israeli settlers in the Palestinian state. Since...

Sequence of news stories in new Dawabashe home burning in Duma

At first the Arabic headlines said: The house of the Rashid Munawar Dawabsheh in Duma village, south of Nablus was set on fire after midnight last night. Spokesman Samir Dawabsheh Dawabsheh said a little while ago that the house caught fire as a result of throwing a Molotov cocktail and that it was caused by arson. He guessed that the culprit is the invisible hands of the...

Another small victory

I have previously mentioned Ghassan Daghlas, the person paid by the Palestinian Authority to make up lies about Jewish settlers. I counted over 200 times that Daghlas was quoted by the Ma'an news agency alone, without the slightest effort to verify his absurd, and often debunked, claims. I often commented on Ma'an about how his claims are never accompanied with any actual...

PA's official liar claims Jewish settlers tried to burn a house - on the Sabbath

Last week I noted that the Palestinian Authority pays Ghassan Daghlas to lie about Jewish settlers. He is still going strong, with more allegations that are, as usual, not corroborated with a single photo. Daghlas claimed that Jewish settlers tried to burn down an Arab house southeast of Taybeh, on Saturday morning. Saturday is of course the Sabbath and no religious Jew would light a fire then, let alone travel to an Arab village. Daghlas added...

08/08 Links: Crossing a Line to Sell a Deal; I am a Zionist because I am an Arab

From Ian: Crossing a Line to Sell a Deal As heated as the arguments between us can get, we can all agree that all of these positions, and their many variants, are entirely within the bounds of legitimate political debate—and that none of them are evidence of anyone’s intent either to rush America to war or to obliterate the State of Israel. What we increasingly can’t stomach—and feel obliged to speak out about right now—is the use of Jew-baiting...

The man the Palestinian Authority pays to lie

We've previously looked at Ghassan Daghlas, the person whose job it is to lie about Jews in Judea and Samaria. I'm not joking. Daghlas is in charge of the Israeli Settlements File for the Palestinian Authority for the northern part of the West Bank. He has been quoted hundreds of times about what the evil Jews have been doing, and his record of telling the truth is pretty...

Why do people believe the media in a society that rewards lies?

Ma'an pretends to report some news: An Israeli settler attempted to kidnap an 18-month-old Palestinian toddler in the Jabal al-Mukkabir neighborhood of East Jerusalem on Thursday, witnesses said. The child was reportedly the son of Ghassan Abu Jamal, one of the attackers who killed five Israelis in an attack on a Jerusalem synagogue last November. Who were the witnesses...

Lies outweigh facts in Palestinian Arab media

Usually I can glean some interesting facts from the Palestinian Arab media. And, believe it or not, one of the best in terms of accuracy has been Palestine Today, which is run by Islamic Jihad. But nowadays the Arabic media is nothing but propaganda, and they are reporting more lies than facts. Across the board, the Arabic media is reporting the supposed abduction of an...

Ma'an continues to publish unverified reports from Ghassan Daghlas

From Ma'an: Israeli settlers attacked with stones dozens of Palestinian vehicles in the northern West Bank, a Palestinian official said Sunday. Ghassan Daghlas, who monitors settler activities in the northern West Bank, told Ma’an that the settlers pelted vehicles with stones and empty bottles smashing windshields of dozens of vehicles. Hmmm..Ghassan Daghlas' name sounds...

PalArabs again claim religious Jews cut down olive trees - on Shabbat

From Ma'an: Extremist Jewish settlers chopped down more than 100 olive trees Saturday morning in Deir Sharaf village south of Nablus, a Palestinian official said. Ghassan Daghlas, who monitors settler activities in the northern West Bank, told Ma’an that settlers from Shave Shomron settlement stormed olive fields in the al-Ghazan neighborhood of Deir Sharaf and destroyed more than 100 trees. He highlighted that the attack came a few days before...

"Price tag" attack last week was fabricated by Arabs

From Ma'an last week: Armed settlers attacked a village south of Nablus overnight Wednesday and torched six cars, a Palestinian Authority official said. Ghassan Daghlas, who monitors settlement activity in the northern West Bank, said dozens of residents of the Esh Kodesh settlement outpost entered Qusra village firing heavily. They torched six cars, belonging to Raed...
