From i24News:

A member of Jordan's parliament on Wednesday said that Jordanians would become "suicide bombers" for the Al Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem in response to the previous day's visit to the Temple Mount by Israel's National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.

Using an antisemitic reference to Jews as "the sons of monkeys and pigs," Yanal Abd al-Salam Nour al-Din al-Fraihat said in a speech at Jordan's national assembly in the capital Amman that "the response of the Palestinian and Jordanian people at the moment is only talk, but this is a volcano and soon the response will be with lead bullets."

Here's the video with Hebrew subtitles.

 


He wasn't the only Jordanian lawmaker who used the "monkeys and pigs" phrase. 

MP Khalil Attia condemned the "stinky-yahu" government (apparently an Arabic pun on Netanyahu) for Itamar Ben-Gvir's peaceful walk on the Temple Mount, also referring to him as the "grandson of monkeys and pigs" who "infiltrated Al Aqsa like women."

He said this while a woman MP was sitting right in front of him.


Have you noticed that ordinary Palestinians are not rioting over this? All of the inflammatory rhetoric is coming from politicians and pundits who keep predicting an earthquake. And they seem a bit disappointed that it hasn't happened. It's been two days and their confident predictions are looking rather foolish.

The always moronic Jonathan Cook, writing in Middle East Eye, regretfully notes that "Ben-Gvir’s visit has passed, at least so far, without a significant Palestinian backlash" but claims that this only means that Ben Gvir is about to launch a "holy war" against Palestinians. He then gives this priceless piece of "analysis:"

The precedent he was drawing on was the visit to Al-Aqsa in September 2000 of then-opposition leader Ariel Sharon backed by 1,000 members of Israel’s security forces, over the opposition of the Jerusalem police.

That incursion triggered a Palestinian uprising, the Second Intifada, justifying years of crushing Israeli military repression.... Ben-Gvir might be angling to provoke a similar confrontation to provide a pretext for finishing off what’s left of the PA. 
Cook thinks that Israel wanted and even planned the second intifada, sacrificing a thousand citizens just to weaken the PA. That is classic projection - the Palestinians may act that way, but Israel actually cares about the lives of its citizens.

Haaretz' Jack Khoury has a different theory. He writes, "The lack of Palestinian response in Jerusalem can perhaps be explained by the fact that it doesn’t depend on those leaders. Neither the Palestinian Authority nor Hamas have an organizational infrastructure in Jerusalem that can dictate the public agenda and bring masses out to the streets."

Which means he is admitting that those "spontaneous protests" are really scripted out by Hamas and the PA, and do not reflect the actual feelings of the people, who care as little about another Jew walking on the Temple Mount as they did about Trump's Jerusalem embassy move. 

But don't worry, Khoury says: "What passed quietly on Tuesday is no guarantee for what may develop tomorrow or in the near future."

The third intifada has always had a large cheering section, trying to goad the people who would suffer from its effects into violence.

A mass murderer as an icon for human rights? For Palestinians and their supporters, there is no contradiction.

Nasser Abu Hmeid, the terrorist who died of lung cancer yesterday, is now the number one cause for the Palestinian Authority. 

He had murdered seven Israelis - and five Palestinian "collaborators." But since he was a member of Fatah, the Palestinian Authority is in the forefront of mourning him.

The PA held a massive rally in Ramallah protesting his "assassination." 


The Ministry of Education is forcing schools to hold assemblies supporting his terror career.


 Their official school radio dedicated this morning to talking about how Israel mistreats prisoners.


Here is a heartwarming scene of a child on his father's shoulders, surrounded by the Palestinian and Fatah flags, with a (toy?) gun, supporting the murderer:



Given all this, it is understandable that Israel has not released his body, since that would spark violence. But now they are trying to make that sound like a human rights issue as well: the Palestinian National Council called the decision "fascist:"
 This fascist decision of a country whose parliament ratifies laws that qualify criminals to hold ministerial portfolios is a flagrant violation of the most basic international and humanitarian laws and norms and all human rights standards, which categorically demonstrates the impotence and weakness of the international system and its condoning of the occupation's crimes against our people.
Does this sound like legitimate outrage over not receiving the body - or an opportunity to demonize Israel to the world?

Not to be outdone, Hamas called this decision "Nazi." Nah, nothing antisemitic about that!

Meanwhile, the Palestinian leaders are trying hard to internationalize this issue. The Arab Lawyer's Union issued a statement, no doubt at the behest of Abbas:
 The Palestinian prisoner, Nasser Abu Hamid, was martyred as a result of gross and deliberate medical negligence by the Israeli occupation prison administration, which pursues a policy of revenge against sick prisoners.  ...The fascist Israeli occupation deliberately inflicted medical harm on the martyr Nasser Abu Hamid, who was sentenced to seven life sentences in 2001 to spend his life suffering from the pain of cancer, which ravaged his body behind bars until he rose to a martyr.
The Secretary-General of the Arab Lawyers Union called on the international community and international organizations concerned with human rights to condemn this heinous crime and to press for the Israeli occupation to be held accountable for its crimes against the sick prisoners, which are inconsistent with the Geneva Convention, which are crimes against humanity that history will not forget and will not expire by statute of limitations.
No, Israel didn't violate the Geneva Conventions. 

Keep this in mind the next time an Arab lawyer is interviewed about Israel: they lie as easily as they breathe.

I'm not seeing too much interest in Hmeid's death in the general Arab media. They seem to grasp what self-centered Palestinians cannot: that many of the things that supposedly outrage them are obviously manufactured and directed by their leaders, but have little to do with reality.

Today, a group of Palestinians protested outside the British Consulate in Jerusalem to mark the 105th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration.

They attempted to present a lengthy letter of protest, demanding an apology and compensation from the British. The consulate refused to accept the letter so they placed it on the grate of the front door.

I count nine protesters.


Sama News, SND news, Al Siasi, Maan, AlQuds, Roya News, Wattan, NABD, Al Watan Voice  and Safa are all covering the story. 

That means more Palestinian news sites wrote about the protest than the number of protesters to begin with.

And the Israel haters do this often. While they do sometime get big crowds to their demonstrations, they cover even the tiniest protests as big news, to give the impression of far more political power than they really have.

After all, perception is as important as reality, and the anti-Israel side is excellent at propaganda techniques.

Yesterday, Islamic Jihad (PIJ) celebrated the 35th anniversary of its founding with a military parade through Gaza City. It has been advertising the event for weeks.

But although the webpage of its organ, Palestine Today, has lots of articles about the celebration, there are very few photos showing how many people actually attended,

The video of Islamic Jihad's military parade is heavily edited with mostly tight shots, not allowing one to see large crowds. At the very end, we see two seconds of an aerial view, where it appears there are more vehicles in the parade than members of the audience.


The actual anniversary rally occurred on Thursday. It did seem to attract several thousand people.

The video of the speech by PIJ's leader was pre-recorded. He didn't make a live speech in front of the crowd, worried about being assassinated.

Compare to my photos of the 25th anniversary rally with many thousands attending.

It seems like Islamic Jihad's popularity has gone way down.

Not too long ago, whenever Hamas or Islamic Jihad or Fatah wanted to fire up their people, they would put together a massive rally where tens of thousands could be summoned at seemingly the snap of a finger. 

Here's a Hamas rally from 2017:


An Islamic Jihad rally from 2016:


But on Thursday, The Palestinian Authority and Islamic Jihad held a rally to protest President Biden's visit to Israel.

And the turnout was pathetic.

Here was Islamic Jihad's rally:


And here is another demonstration in Ramallah:


In Gaza, with a captive audience, a couple hundred people came to a rally organized by several socialist groups.



It looks like it is not only other Arab nations who are sick of Palestinian leadership. 

Palestinians are, too.

The latest stunt to try to blame all of Palestinian Arab woes on Israel, called the "Freedom Bus," flew completely under the radar.

From Bikya Masr:
On Monday, the Freedom Bus marked the final stop of its tour across the Israeli-occupied West Bank by hosting a concert in Bet Sahour.

Over a hundred people came to Bet Sahour’s old city to watch Palestinian performers such as the rap group DAM, Haifa-based reggae band Ministry of Dub-key, and Toot Ard, a Syrian band from the occupied Golan Heights.
It sounds like there were more people in the bands and their crews than there were in the audience.
Outside of this article, there seems to have been no media attention given to yet another stunt designed to ensure that Palestinian Arabs do nothing to better their situation and put all of theior efforts into blame, blame and more blame. The "Freedom Bus" website even calls its purpose to wage a "cultural intifada." (And it has a quote from Judith Butler supporting the infantilization of the cause.)

972mag, abandoning what little pretense it had of being a news site, simply copied a press release from the Freedom Bus' spokesperson instead of bothering to actually report on what appeared to be a major fail. The "pro-Palestinian" crowd simply hasn't figured out that the world is sick of their whining and refusal to take even a scintilla of responsibility for their lives.

But let one of the featured bands talk about their view of how the Middle East should look:
Palestine Street, a local rap group from the nearby Dheisheh refugee camp in Bethlehem, brought the crowd to their feet during their performance, dedicating their closing song to Palestinian refugees living in exile. “Palestine will be free, from the Jordan River to the sea,” they shouted at the end of their set, arousing immense applause from the crowd.
As long as they choose to deny the reality of Israel, there will be Freedom Bus-like gimmicks for another 65 years, and beyond.

Continued Palestinian Arab fantasies, fed by stunts like this, are the biggest impediment to peace. Which means that this "intifada" will ultimately be as counterproductive for the daily lives of average Arabs in the territories as the last two were.
