PA official claims that Obama administration encouraged violent Palestinian protests against Israel

If this is true, could Obama possibly sink any lower? Well, he could declare war against Israel. "Shock claim: Obama encouraged Palestinian 'resistance': Violence targeting Jews aimed at pressuring Israel into splitting capital," by Aaron Klein for WorldNetDaily, March 31 (thanks to Phil):

JERUSALEM - The Obama administration has encouraged "resistance" by Palestinians to protest Israel's presence in eastern Jerusalem, a senior Palestinian Authority official claimed to WND.

The senior PA official, speaking from Ramallah on condition of anonymity, said that in recent meetings with U.S. envoys to the region, the American diplomats supported and encouraged the concept of Palestinian protests to pressure Israel into evacuating eastern sections of Jerusalem.

The PA official's claim follows a meeting in Jordan last week between PA President Mahmoud Abbas and George Mitchell, Obama's envoy to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. At a press conference immediately following the meeting, Abbas declared the Palestinian "right" to "resistance" against Israel.

The U.S. has come down hard on a decision by the Jerusalem municipality to approve 1,600 new homes in Ramat Shlomo, an already-existing Jewish community in eastern Jerusalem. The decision was made public during Vice President Joe Biden's visit to the region earlier this month.

The Palestinians claim eastern Jerusalem as their future capital, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has made clear he does not intend to give up the Jewish sections of the city.

Netanyahu has stated that he had not been aware of the decision to build in Ramat Shlomo and that the announcement was not timed to coincide with Biden's visit.

Still, Obama senior adviser David Axelrod called the Ramat Shlomo announcement an "insult." Other administration officials called the Jewish neighborhood expansion an impediment to Israeli-Palestinian negotiations....

Not at all surprising or unexpected.
If the current POTUS wanted to surprise us all, he'd try to strengthen America and help Israel.

Can Obama sink any lower?

Correct answer: Yes

Yes, as bad as this is if true, Obama could sink even lower, much lower. The man is an anti-Reagan, an anti-Churchill, and so most anything is possible with him that would harm Israel, America and the West. And thanks again to all the rubes out there who voted for this turkey. Great choice.

Well, they want half of the city today, next week they'll want another third. "It's all that is required for peace" and stupid people say "Give them the half now, and we'll have peace" and when they ask for more next week give them that and we'll have peace. Peace to the West is not the same "peace" to the muslim hoards. If you and your country are not muslim, then, obviously, you do not "respect" islam. The word "respect" to a muslim is to give them everything they ask for and, after you have done that, give them your blood.

This should be on the front page of every newspaper and news hour in the country!
I hang my head in shame and sorrow

Yeah, supporting protests is going to hurt the West SO BAD.

I think you're missing a word there, buddy mo. If you want to properly respond the the headline as it actually reads, it should be:

"Yeah, supporting VIOLENT protests is going to hurt the West SO BAD."

There you go, much more accurate now!

And actually, yeah it does hurt the west.

Obama grew up in a muslims country. He had been spoonfed anti semitisim and anti Isrealisism since very young. It was no better when he was member of the radically pro palastine and anti isreali church. what you expect from him?

You've missed the point, Nimrod. Big time. Israel is the only true democracy in the Middle East and deserves American support for moral reasons as well as for many others. Moreover, anyone with half a brain should know by now that the Arab Muslim world wants NO Israel, never mind the fact that Israeli-Arabs are possessed of more freedoms than Arabs are in any Arab country. The so-called Palestinians could have had their stupid little country some sixty years ago, but since the Arab looks at compromise as he gets everything and the Jew gets nothing, the Middle East has seen misery and suffering on a very large scale, NONE of which had to happen if only the Arab Muslim world had been content to have some 13% of the original British Mandate of Palestine become the state of Israel. I lay the blame for all this stupidity and tragedy squarely on the Arab Muslim world. Done here.

This treatment of an ally is an ongoing disgrace but it will matter little when Israel attacks Iran, as they must. Barry et. al. would risk near civil war by turning their backs on Israel as I'm sure they would like to. Unfortunately Israel, as do we, must weather America's big mistake even so.

It looks to me, from what I read in the article above, that the President of the United States of America is inciting terrorists to murder people in a foreign land. Am I misreading that? Or is this a matter of Chicago-style politics-as-usual and I should just shrug?

While I don't think that Obama is capable of inciting the Fakestinians, I doubt that the Fakestinians are telling the truth in this matter. When have they ever?

Both sides are inveterate liars, but which is lying this time?

(correction)
While I don't DOUBT that Obama is capable of inciting the Fakestinians, I do doubt that the Fakestinians are telling the truth in this matter. When have they ever?

Both sides are inveterate liars, but which is lying this time?

Without a more credible scource this story should'nt be accepted as true. The Palestinians would love to further the disagreement between the Obama Admin. and Israel. What's the Israeli Press saying?


The United States doesn't rule over Israel, so what right do they have to make these demands? I hope Israel stands it's ground. They are not alone.

Next he'll be throwing stones, or maybe even behead Clinton in the Oval Office for not wearing a burkha, then claim through CAIR that it's all being taken out of context.

Re the demand to divide Jerusalem, here is a brilliant Op ed that just appeared in Jerusalem Post.

It lays out a few basic home truths about how Arab (and other) Muslims have historically treated Jerusalem, its non-Muslim inhabitants, and its non-Muslim holy places, compared to how the Jews have governed it.

http://www.jpost.com/Opinion/Op-EdContributors/Article.aspx?id=172162

"Woe will be a divided Jerusalem".

Here is the section of that essay that should be thrown in the faces of all the idiot dhimmified politicians in the EU, Australia, Canada, the USA and everywhere else:

"There is also absolutely no empirical basis to believe that Arab rulers of Jerusalem will maintain the Israeli gold standard of unimpeded religious worship in the city.

"There is no Arab or Muslim country in the Middle East where Christians or Jews can freely operate religious institutions.

"Under Palestinian Authority and Hamas rule, Christians in the West Bank and Gaza have been hounded, terrorized and driven out. Christian Bethlehem is, effectively, no more. The Church of Nativity was defiled by Palestinian Muslim terrorists who turned it into an armed refuge in 2002.

"Who will protect the churches of Jerusalem from the same fate under Islamic rule?

"JEWISH SYNAGOGUES and holy sites in Jericho, Nablus and Gush Katif have fared no better – they were burned to the ground while Palestinian police looked on.

"Under Jordanian {tr: Jordanian Arab Muslim - dda} rule, Jews were not allowed to reach their holy places in Jerusalem at all, while thousands of Jewish graves on the Mount of Olives were desecrated and the tombstones used to pave streets.

"How can this be prevented under Palestinian [tr: 'Palestinian' Arab Muslim - dda] rule?"

"Here’s the truth: It can’t.

"Neither the purported Arab [tr: Arab Muslim - dda] rulers of eastern Jerusalem that President Barack Obama so earnestly wants to induct, nor the international community, will competently guard Jewish, Christian and Western interests in Jerusalem.

"Israel is the only reliable, responsible guardian of Jerusalem.

"And while we’re at it, here is another non-politically correct truth that needs to be articulated: Israel needs, desires and has developed Jerusalem as a workable, attractive city; it is the centerpiece of the ancient Jewish people and the modern State of Israel.

"The Arabs and Palestinians [tr: The Muslims - dda], however, don’t really care about Jerusalem; they never did.

"In fact, they would consider it a triumph if Jerusalem were so wracked by conflict and poverty that it was ruined for 1,000 years – just as long as it would be lost to the Jews.

"That is one more reason why Jerusalem cannot be parceled out to the Palestinians [tr: to the local Muslims - dda]."

Unfortunately, I am compelled to agree with the Pali..Obama DOES ABET PALESTINIAN TERRORISM...

Can Obama sink any lower?

Correct answer: Yes

CAN OBAMA'S EGO RISE ANY HIGHER ?

CORRECT ANSWER: YES

This sounds like it is probably true. And, yes, Obama can stoop lower than that. Where is the MSM on this?

What more does one expect from the Community Organizer-in-Chief?
If Saul Alinsky is good enough for fighting Citibank for ACORN, he's good enough for propping up interlopers against Israelis.

On another note, if 200,000 Irish Jews (!) showed up at the borders of Israel to immigrate, worked for a generation, hoping and wishing their descendants could become citizens, it would happen. Because Israel recognizes the Irish have no other agenda of destruction against Israel. They would assimilate them in a heartbeat.

But what do you do with an emigre or squatter or left-behind "settler" whose most basic beliefs espouse that even the rocks shout out that the host country inhabitants be killed?

What a sick, sick faith.

If this is true, could Obama possibly sink any lower?

Oh, you wait. Ain't seed nothing yet. This born-Mosalem Indonesian is just getting warmed up.

*** 92:8 ***

When he stole $5 billion from GM's creditors to give to his buddies in the UAW, wasn't that low enough? And how's preparation for the KSM going these days?

The headline of this RS articles reads " Obama administration encouraged VIOLENT Palestinian protests against Israel" ( emphasis added).
The original article by Klein reports that an anonoymous PA official said " American diplomats supported and encouraged the concept of Palestinian protests to pressure Israel into evacuating eastern sections of Jerusaleman."

Nowhere does the Klein piece indicate that the PA official or the American diplomat stated that the US supports violent protests. Are we now to say that non-violent protestation is to be condemned? Horseshit. It is exactly this kind of schlock extrapolation that robs RS of credibility. He ought to apologize to his readers for this Goebbels like propaganda. It makes me doubt a lot of what RS teaches that the Quran and hadith say.

there is a dramatic increase in terror attacks and rockets in to israel the palestinians are starting to riot in what is starting to be called here in israel the "obama intifada".

It looks like he really is a crypto-muslim.The americans are done for,they must beware HIS sudden-jihad-syndrome,who knows he might ram the air-force 1 into a skyscrapper?

"Nowhere does the Klein piece indicate that the PA official or the American diplomat stated that the US supports violent protests."

Wrong.

Klein himself headlines the story as:
"Shock claim: Obama encouraged Palestinian 'resistance': Violence targeting Jews aimed at pressuring Israel into splitting capital,"


"It makes me doubt a lot of what RS teaches that the Quran and hadith say."


Most of the times spencer quotes directly from the quran and hadith,how's that for doubtfull stuff?

I am not wrong. If you read the Klein article nowehere does he report that either the PA official or the US diplomat used the word violent. That the subheading of Klein's article, which he may or may not have authored, says something about violence in no way disproves my observation that the Klein piece nowhere reports that the PA official or US diplomat used the term "violent" in connection with protest. Their is no attribution that either encouraged violent protest contrary to the fair meaning of the heading used by RS.
The heading used by RS to introduce this piece is incorrect and unless it was unintended it is patently unethical just as you are in trying to argue my point.

I apologise for missing your point, nevertheless I still think the blame goes on Klein's headline.

.......................

I presume you do not understand how the "Palestinians" use the word "resistance".

This, from the Christian Science Monitor:

"It's appropriate for the Fatah leadership to lead a new phase of popular resistance, because Fatah has motivated the masses to resist the Israeli occupation since the movement's inception in 1965," says Jibril Rajoub, a member of the Fatah Central Committee and a former West Bank chief of security for the PA. "We led the resistance during the first intifada..."

The intifadas have meant nothing but *violence*.

"Fatah higher-ups note that at the Sixth General Assembly of Fatah, held in Bethlehem last August, members endorsed the option of using "popular resistance" as a means of confronting Israel as part of a revised party platform. The decision to do so met with much concern in Israel, for which Fatah has been an on-again, off-again peace partner since the two reached their historic Oslo Peace Accords in 1993. *What Palestinians dub resistance, Israelis call violence.*" [emphasis mine—GI]

The "Palestinians" are not given to peaceful demonstrations and protests. Fatah has been threatening Israel with a third intifada.

"PEACEFUL" Palestinian protest:

Palestinians carrying signs merely 'suggesting'
"Kill the Jews" knowing that possibly less
than knowing that probably > % 50 will).

You can dance all you want. The fact remans that the US diplomat is not reported to have said he or the US endorsed violence. The RS heading is schlock extrapolation. That kind of crap undermines RS's credibility.

I am no great fan of Pres. Obama, and am proud to say that I did not vote for him, but since when has the PA really taken responsibility for anything? They sent each other candy and danced in the streets when the Twin Towers fell, but when Americans and allies chased their great hero OBL into the caves, they started saying, "everyone knows it was the JOOOOOOOOZ who did it..." They start rioting, but the minute their "brave young fighters" get trounced by the Israelis, they say that Mr. Obama put them up to it.

Friends, I suspect that every word the PA says is a lie, including "and" and "the". If the PA tells you that 2+3=5, check it out for yourself on your fingers or an electronic calculator before you accept it. That's how devious they are.
