Abbas' annual UN speech filled with lies, incitement and antisemitism, as usual

We've come to expect Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas to fill his UN speeches with lies and libels, and he did it again on Thursday.He claimed that the Kotel (Western Wall) was exclusively Muslim:The occupation government is also violating the city of Jerusalem and its people, assaulting our Islamic and Christian sanctities there, and violating the historical and legal...

Palestinians reject open letter against Abbas' antisemitism

As mentioned yesterday, a group of Palestinian expatriates issued an open letter over the weekend condemning Mahmoud Abbas' antisemitic statements. but really their letter was more anti-Israel than anti-Abbas, as they accused him of toeing the Zionist line.We the undersigned, Palestinian academics, writers, artists, activists, and people of all walks of life, unequivocally...

Three brand new fake Zionist quotes (update)

An article in Raia al-Youm by Palestinian writer Nawaf Al-Zaro goes over the usual Jew-hating tropes, saying, "The tendency toward violence and racist terrorism is a tendency rooted in the Zionist political ideology and the Jewish Bible. "But he starts with three supposed quotes from prominent Zionists, all obviously fake:Herzl: "We must form a great hunting expedition,...

Palestine Today published this poster warning about all the upcoming Jewish holidays and how Jews use them as excuses to defile Al Aqsa Mosque.And when they say "Al Aqsa Mosque," it is obvious that they are referring to the Kotel (Western Wall) as part of it.The photo is a Photoshop, showing the twin threats that Palestinians see: Zionists and religious Jews. The poster...

It is always interesting to trace the history of Palestinian "anti-Zionism" from the beginnings of Zionism, when its antisemitism was explicit, to today, when it is hidden behind multiple layers of pretense of not having any problem with Jews at all.So this from an article in June 1956, by syndicated columnist John B. Crane, before the Suez campaign, is instructive.He interviewed...

Over and over again: Mahmoud Abbas spouts Jew-hatred. He is pressured to apologize and does it again. And the world continues to respect him.

In April 2018, Palestinian Authority president and PLO chairman Mahmoud Abbas gave an antisemitic speech where he claimed that Ashkenazic Jews were not really Jews, that Jews throughout history including during the Holocaust were hated not because they were Jews but because of how they acted, that Jews were never persecuted in Arab lands and that Jews have no connection to...

Palestinian antisemitism, illustrated

Gaza-based cartoonist Bahaa Yaseen published this yesterday, the anniversary of the burning of Al Aqsa Mosque by a mentally ill Christian.A Muslim woman prays "O Allah, protect our al-Aqsa" on a prayer mat with a pile of stones next to it. A snake dressed as a Jew, with Stars of David on his skin, wearing a black hat, tallit and tefillin, with a flamethrower shofar, hisses...

Palestinian intolerance and Jew-hatred summed up in one sentence

Every year, the Tomb of the Patriarchs is open exclusively to Jews for ten days and open exclusively to Muslims for ten days. The shrine is split between the two groups all the other days of the year.The schedule is publicized well ahead of time (although the Muslim days may move by a day depending on when the new month is declared.) There are no surprises. The Waqf...

Palestinian high school students must learn to hate Israel in order to graduate

During May and June, Palestinian high school students were studying hard to pass their matriculation exams. When families receive positive results, as they did last week, there are huge celebrations throughout the territories.The study material for the matriculation exams comes from the Palestinian Authority. And according to the IMAPCT-SE NGO, they were filled with anti-Israel...

At Joseph's tomb, mujahadeen proudly trying (and dying) to stop Jews from visiting a holy site

Every month or so, Jewish pilgrims go to visit Joseph's Tomb in Shechem (Nablus). Under the Oslo Accords, Jews should have free access to the holy site. But Palestinians would rather kill them.So the IDF has to go in to protect the worshipers, and the worshipers go in the middle of the might, to cause as little of a disturbance to the nearby residents as possible.Fat...

"Pro-Palestinians" justify their intransigence and hate in revealing response to my cartoon

Last week, Peter Beinart tweeted this:People in Jenin can't become citizens of the country in which they live. Can't vote for the govt that determines if they live or die. Can't return to the lands from which their families were expelled. This underlies everything happening now. The American press rarely mentions itBeinart complains that Palestinians do not have a state of...

A Florida history professor outs himself as incompetent about history - and as an antisemite

Yesterday, I tweeted my post about the hypocrisy about how the media and NGOs ignore the deliberate murder of a Gaza child by his stepmother while dozens of articles were written about Israel's accidental killing of a similar child. One of the responses was most illuminating, but not in the way that the tweeter intended.The surest way to know I've hit a nerve with the...

If you use the word "Judaizing" as an epithet, you just might be an antisemite

Safa has an article raising the alarm about the planned cable car over the Old City of Jerusalem.There are plenty of legitimate reasons to oppose the plan. It would permanently change the skyline of Jerusalem. It might make the holy city look like a ski resort. But to Safa, and its Arab "experts" it interviews, there is only one real problem with the cable car plan:It...
