The Palestinian Authority’s rift with the U.S. is growing deeper, according to Israeli media outlets. PA President Mahmoud Abbas president has come to see U.S. President Donald Trump as “a lost cause,” according to the Tims of Israel. Abbas is unglued and will not be comforted. Why? because America exercised its right to recognise Jerusalem […]
Media deems Trump the Grinch who stole Christmas in Bethlehem
The fake news media narrative circulating the past few days goes something like this: President Donald [Trump]’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital set off an “eruption of violence,” thus dampening the mood in Bethlehem and keeping tourists this Christmas season from one of the holiest cities in Christianity. Less than two weeks ago, Nazareth’s […]
Abbas: “There are no borders to Israel, and international law is against any recognition of it”
Palestinian propaganda has long fooled the world into believing that Palestinian leaders sought a two-state solution. All along, its leaders have sought a one-state solution: Israel’s obliteration in accordance with the PA, Fatah and Hamas Charters, and in keeping with efforts by the surrounding Arab States to obliterate Israel. This jihadist ambition was glaring, despite […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: Trump and the Embassy: The Dogs Bark, The Caravan Moves On
If you’ve been listening to NPR or the BBC or almost any news channel, you’ve been told again and again these days that Jerusalem is a city “holy to three faiths.” This is comforting for those who don’t like to make distinctions; it doesn’t, however, adequately convey the fact that Jerusalem as an entire city […]
Robert Spencer at Breitbart: Arabs’ Rage Over Jerusalem is Islamic Theater
Jihad grandstanding over a propaganda fiction. My latest at Breitbart: Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is insisting that Jerusalem is the “eternal capital of the state of Palestine” after President Donald Trump recognized the city as the capital of Israel. No Palestinian state has ever existed, but Abbas is leveraging the claim that Jerusalem is its third holiest […]
Saudi King: Moving embassy to Jerusalem “a flagrant provocation of Muslims, all over the world”
And “Palestinian” top dog Mahmoud Abbas “warned of the dangerous consequences such a decision would have to the peace process and to the peace, security and stability of the region and of the world.” They’re saying, “Don’t do this, or Muslims will kill people.” It’s just the kind of violent intimidation that neither Trump nor […]
Trump tells Mideast leaders of plan to move embassy to Jerusalem
“Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, Jordan’s King Abdullah and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who all received phone calls from Trump on Tuesday, joined a mounting chorus of voices saying any unilateral U.S. move on Jerusalem could unleash turmoil.” The U.S. has been kowtowing to this threat for decades. It’s time we stop. Showing that we […]
Trump to Abbas: “You tricked me! Israelis showed me your involvement in incitement!”
“’You tricked me in [Washington] DC! You talked there about your commitment to peace, but the Israelis showed me your involvement in incitement [against Israel],’ Mr Trump is alleged to have shouted at the Palestinian leader, an outburst that was followed by several minutes of shocked silence.” How good to see reality breaking through, even […]
On day Abbas met Trump, Fatah honored 12 jihadis who murdered 95 people
Abbas lied brazenly to President Trump, claiming that his government “educates for peace” and that the Palestinian Authority is “raising our youth, our children, our grandchildren on a culture of peace.” Meanwhile, this was what was going on back home. “While Abbas met with Trump, Fatah honored 12 terrorists responsible for murdering 95 people,” by […]
Netanyahu to Abbas: “Google yourself”
Abbas lied brazenly to President Trump, claiming that his government “educates for peace” and that the Palestinian Authority is “raising our youth, our children, our grandchildren on a culture of peace.” In reality, as the most cursory examination of the clips at Palestinian Media Watch proves, the Palestinian Authority is educating its children in Jew-hatred […]
Palestinian Authority’s Abbas blames Israeli “occupation” for “all the disasters in the world”
In a recent speech, Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas stated that the Israeli “occupation” is the reason for all disasters in the world. Can Israel expect to negotiate peace with an anti-Semite such as Mahmoud Abbas, whom the LA-based Simon Wiesenthal Center named the “#1 anti-Semite of the Year”? Again Abbas is showing that he […]
PA threatens to cut US ties, turn to UN if US embassy moves to Jerusalem
Appeasement of jihadists and jihadist states does not work. It strengthens their resolve against the House of War and weakens democratic interests and those of human rights. History and hard archeological evidence proves Israel’s full right to its land. History also reveals Israel’s need to defend itself against obliteration by jihadist thugs and the necessity […]
Abbas threatens to rescind PA’s recognition of Israel, but PA has never recognized Israel
Abbas knows how to play the international media. He knew they would take his statement as an indication that moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem would set back the “peace process.” He knows that the “peace process” is a tool of the Palestinian jihad, and he knows that the establishment media doesn’t know or care […]
Pope to grant P.A. leader Abbas an audience at the Vatican
Relations between the Holy See and Palestine were upgraded in 2015 with the signing of an accord expected to lead to the establishment of a Palestinian embassy in the Vatican at some point this year. Israel was angered by the accord, which came two years after the Vatican recognized Palestine as a state. Pope Francis […]
Bill introduced to move U.S. embassy to Jerusalem
In December, “Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. Ron Dermer endorsed President-elect Trump’s proposal to move the U.S. embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.” Now, following Obama’s betrayal of Israel in his refusal to veto UN Resolution 2334, three Senators have introduced the “Jerusalem Embassy and Recognition Act, which would move the U.S. Embassy […]
Jimmy Carter wants UN to impose a Palestinian state by fiat, with US recognition
In a cynical gesture repeated each year, the UN observes the “International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People” on Nov. 29, turning a positive anniversary into a pretext for Israel-bashing and antisemitism. Jimmy Carter has taken full advantage of this “cynical gesture,” going so far as to call on Obama to “recognize ‘Palestine’ before he […]
Abbas orders Palestinian flags to be set at half-staff to honor Castro
“He always supported the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Palestinian people in their struggle to establish an independent Palestinian state, and he welcomed president Arafat to Cuba in the early 1970s.” Castro thus epitomized the Leftist/jihadist alliance, manifested in the hard-Left’s support for the “Palestinian” jihad against Israel. “Castro Dead, Left Inconsolable,” by Robert Spencer […]
Abbas holds presidential reception for family of jihad murderer, lauds him as “hero”
“Of course, Israel cannot be expected to negotiate with anyone who is dedicated to its destruction. But while I know you have had differences with the Palestinian Authority, I believe that you do have a true partner in President Abbas…” — Barack Obama, March 21, 2013 “Palestinian Authority’s Abbas Holds Presidential Reception for Family of […]
Another jihadist declared a martyr in Palestinian territories
It will never cease to be puzzling and appalling how anyone could possibly expect any semblance of peaceful coexistence with any jihadist entity. The gunman who killed two Israelis and wounded five during a shooting rampage in Jerusalem Sunday is now being hailed as a “martyr” by the party of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. Some […]
Palestinian Authority funds mourning tent for jihadi who stabbed 13-year-old Israeli girl to death
Palestinian jihadists know no remorse. They kill children, teach children to kill, and celebrate the deaths of innocents. A Palestinian Authority (PA) official closely associated with President Mahmoud Abbas arrived at the mourning tent of the family whose jihadist son slit the throat of a 13-year-old Israeli girl in her bed. The official came to pay […]
