What the @NYTimes left out from their story on Palestinian kids wanting to be "martyrs"

Raja Abdulrahim continues in her tradition of using her platform as a New York Times reporter to shade the facts away from the reality.She has a tragic story about how teenagers in the West Bank are writing out "wills" in the expectations of being killed by Israeli troops.The farewell testaments reflect a prevailing sense among many young men that death is heroic, meaningful...

The demographics of Palestinians killed is nowhere close to those of Palestinians altogether

This morning there was a terror attack near Jerusalem's famed Mahane Yehuda market, where a car rammed into a crowd. An elderly man and a woman were among the injured.For most terror attacks, the Israeli victims roughly match the demographics of Israeli society - children, women, the elderly are all represented in about the same proportions that one would find them walking...

What a sick, twisted society Palestinians grow up in

There was a ceremony Sunday afternoon at the Al Aqsa University in Gaza, honoring female students, organized by the Islamic League there.Islamists giving honor to outstanding female students - sounds very woke, right? One of the speakers at the ceremony was Walid Al-Qatati, a member of the political bureau of the Islamic Jihad terrorist group.Here is how he...

Do Palestinians have love for the "Ibrahimi Mosque" in Hebron, or hate for Jews?

The official Palestinian Wafa news agency reported that thousands of Muslims jammed the Tomb of the Patriarchs and the surrounding streets on Friday, the first Friday of Ramadan.It is one of the ten days of the year that Jews are banned from the sacred site, the second holiest site in Judaism. Wafa interviewed one of the worshipers, who explained why she came. "It is...

75 years ago: Jewish heroes saving lives - and getting killed for it

Heroes Haim Graf and Mordechai KomornikThere were two interesting and related articles in the Palestine Post of March 22, 1948, on events that happened 75 years ago today, that were both about Jewish heroes.The first real heroes were two guards, Haim Graf and Mordechai Komornik, who saw smoke coming out of the abandoned vehicle outside the Solel Boneh building...

Palestinians defending the right to play soccer on the Temple Mount

This video from Palestine Times is upset at an Israeli Knesset member suggested that playing soccer on the Temple Mount be prohibited, and defends the right of Muslims to desecrate the holiest place in Judaism.It is remarkable that the very people who insist that everyone else respect their customs to the extent that all must follow their own laws (e.g., no one can draw...

German tourists who were almost lynched in Nablus pleaded with attackers, "Don't hurt us! We aren't Jews!"

This interview of one of the German victims of a near-lynching in Nablus when they drove a rideshare car with an Israeli flag has an interesting implication:I did not know if I would go out alive, because they had so much hate against us....Suddenly they came our of taxis and kind of surrounded us, and we tried to explain in English that we are tourists, we are from...

Even the most "moderate" Palestinians support shooting Jewish civilians

The shooting of David Stern as he drove with his family today resulted, as always, with great celebrations by Palestinians. Here a crowd goes to his house to celebrate.And here are the obligatory fireworks celebrating the shooting of a Jew.But, you may say, these are only the extremists. Certainly normal, sober Palestinians support shooting random Jewish civilians.Well,...

Two young Palestinian men were shot and killed in a family clan clash in the town of Jayyous, east of Qalqilya, in the northern part of the West Bank.The news stories about it use a single word: "Unfortunate."Press sources stated that forces from the security services went to the town of Jayyous and imposed a curfew to control the unfortunate events that took place in the...

Poll: Palestinians think their suffering is unique in world history, and this justifies terror

In December, the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research and Tel Aviv University carried out a joint opinion survey of Palestinians and Israelis, asking them similar questions to compare their opinions. These joint polls have been happening for years, and they are very valuable in comparing both sides' opinions of the peace process or a two state solution.There...
