The UN Continues To Grossly Minimize Palestinian Terror

Posted on September 28, 2023 by First.One.Through

Tor Wennesland, the Arab puppet who works under the title United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, gave his highly biased remarks to the UN Security Council on September 27. It showcased his protection of the increasingly dangerous Palestinian terrorist society.

During the reporting period June 15 to September 19, Palestinian Arabs in the “West Bank” killed ten Israelis, while Israeli “settlers” in the region killed two Palestinians. The whopping FIVE TIMES more murders by Arabs did not seem to register, as Wennesland voiced “I am disturbed by the high levels of settler-related violence,” but never specifically called out the more frequent and lethal Arab violence.

As alarming, for the seventh time this year, Palestinians in the West Bank launched rockets at Israelis, with the latest one towards the Israeli town of Ram On located near the 1949 Armistice Lines. Wennesland grossly minimized the attack saying Palestinians “attempted and failed to launch an improvised rocket”, making the grotesque attempt at mass murder sound like a harmless childish prank.

The rocket attacks were launched by yet another new Palestinian terror group called al-Ayyash, joining the Lion’s Den and Jenin Battalion which formed over the past two years. The number of guns and advanced weaponry now being deployed by the various terrorist groups is making 2023 the most deadly year for Israelis in several years.

Still, the UN did not condemn Palestinian actions nor call for a crack down on incitement and terror. Instead, it asked countries for donations to send to these same Palestinians, and urged for evictions of all Jewish civilians from their homes in the West Bank.

It’s working.

Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the US ambassador to the United Nations, said “the sharp rise in violence by extremist Israeli settlers against Palestinians is also deeply alarming,” but didn’t similarly call out the greater number of Palestinian Arab murderers. She then added that the United States supports the antisemitic policies and desires of the Palestinian Authority to ban Jews from living in the “West Bank” and from praying at their holiest location on the Jewish Temple Mount. For good measure, she added that the U.S. is “pleased to announce nearly $73 million in additional contributions to UNRWA.”

If the UN’s vision of a peace process absolves Arabs of crimes against humanity while endorsing the ethnic cleansing of half a million Jews from their biblical homeland, the entire global body is clearly morally defective. It should be stripped of all funding and shuttered outright, not just its specialized projects for Palestinians.

US Embassy In Israel Only Invites Muslims To US To Study

Posted on September 26, 2023 by First.One.Through

For the twentieth year, the US embassy to Israel invited only Muslims from Israel to come to the United States for an all-expense paid year of study abroad.

On September 12, 2023, the embassy posted an advertisement that the U.S. State Department “is seeking a group of Arab citizens of Israel secondary school students to participate in a Study- in-the-USA initiative for high school students during the 2024-2025 school year.” (bold in original) It is backed by the YES Program Scholarship which gives “many countries with significant Muslim population an opportunity to study at American high schools and live with American host families for one academic year,” funding “all expenses in connection with the study tour including airfare, room and board, pocket money and most other costs.”

Israeli Jews are not invited to participate. It is a program solely focused on Muslims.

The YES program brings in Muslims to U.S. schools from around the world in addition to Israel, including Ghana, Jordan, Indonesia, Malaysia and Morocco.

This effort is taking place while college antisemitism is reaching new staggering levels, mostly coming from Muslim students. The AMCHA Initiative has done numerous studies which show a direct correlation between Students for Justice in Palestine and other anti-Zionist groups and antisemitic incidents on campus.

Canary Mission tracks many of these antisemites and anti-Zionists, including Yasmeen Mashayekh, a student at University of Southern California, who tweeted “I want to kill every motherf**king zionist” and “curse the Jews.” She has repeatedly praised Palestinian terrorists after they slaughter Jews in the streets. As can only be imagined in California, she is a student ambassador on the school’s committee for diversity, equity and inclusion.

*Yasmeen Mashayekh, antisemite who sits on USC’s DEI committee*

Naye Idriss, a student at Columbia University, tweeted a picture supporting Diaa Hamarsheh, who slaughtered five Israelis in Bnei Brak in central Jerusalem, adding “All support and glory for any action that creates an atmosphere of fear and insecurity for the settlers. They will know neither security nor peace on stolen land!”

The list goes on.

The toxicity snowballs. With government sponsored Muslims on campus from countries including Malaysia, Columbia University naturally invited the proud antisemitic Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad to speak on campus. He is infamous for calling Jewish people “hook-nosed” and claiming “Jews rule the world by proxy.”

Jews are trying to have a normal college experience but over 200 chapters of the Students for Justice in Palestine and other anti-Zionist groups are making their lives a living hell. At the same time, the U.S. State Department is actively focused on bringing in Muslims onto college campuses – with your tax dollars.

American College campuses have stopped becoming a place for civil discourse and have morphed into incubators for antisemitism and disinformation campaigns. And it’s directly funded by your tax dollars.

ACTION ITEM

CONTACT WHITE HOUSE “What is the interview process of the YES program that brings in hundred of Muslims into the United States every year to make sure they are promoting coexistence and not antisemitism? Perhaps it is time to bring in Jewish students from around the world to combat the rampant Jew-hatred on college campuses.”

Abbas Pays Tribute To Murderers Of Jews Before The United Nations General Assembly, To Applause

Posted on September 22, 2023 by First.One.Through

The Holocaust-denying Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas took center stage at the United Nations General Assembly on September 21, 2023. As in years past, he stood by the “martyrs” who kill Israeli Jews.

I pay tribute to our righteous martyrs, our brave prisoners, and our heroic injured people
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas before the UNGA September 21, 2023

Who are these “righteous martyrs” that Abbas extolls?

Mohammad Nasser Tra’ayra, 17. Mohammad broke into the home of Israeli-American Hallel Yaffa Ariel, aged 13, and stabbed her to death while she slept. The popular political-terrorist Hamas which controls 58% of the Palestinian parliament, praised the murder of the Jewish youth, calling it “heroic.” Mohammed had posted on Facebook before the attack that he wanted to become a “martyr.” His mother praised her son as a martyr for Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and encouraged others to follow in his footsteps. His uncle, Rajeh Tarayreh, told The Associated Press that the family was hosting a celebration that’s a tradition for every “martyr” killed by Israel — including accepting visitors offering congratulations. Mohammed’s family now gets a $350 a month stipend as payment for his matrydom.

*Hallel Yaffa Ariel, aged 13, murdered while she slept by a Palestinian “martyr”*

I salute our glorious martyrs and our courageous prisoners in Israeli jails.

Hassan Qatanani, 35. Hassan and his partner in crime, Muaath Masri, shot up a car carrying some British-Israeli women and killed them: Lucy Dee, 48, and two of her daughters Maia Dee (20) and Rina Dee (15). The Israeli Defense Forces subsequently tracked Hassan and his evil band and killed them in a firefight. Hassan’s mother spoke on Palestinian TV and said “He loved martyrdom. He would say to me, day and night, ‘Mom, I want to be martyred.’ He would kiss my hand and say: ‘Pray to Allah that I will be martyred‘… Praise be to Allah for granting him what he wanted… [We] cannot accept what the Jews did to us. We should fight them with our children, with our money, with our families, with our fingernails. We should devour the Jews with our teeth… The Jews are our enemy from beginning to end.” Thousands of Palestinians took part in the funeral of the three murderers.

*Lucy Dee and her daughters murdered while they were driving on vacation, by a Palestinian “martyr”*

I salute our martyrs, prisoners and wounded.

Diaa Hamarsheh, 26. Diaa went into Bnei Brak armed with an M-16 assault rifle and shot and killed five people. The Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, part of PA President Abbas’s political party, Fatah, claimed responsibility. His aunt said “We are sad that he is gone and not with us anymore, but at the same time, we are happy that he is a martyr. What he did is not something that anyone is capable of doing. Not everyone possesses this kind of courage.” The Quds News Network posted on its Facebook page about “Palestinian martyr Diaa Hamarsheh.”

*Aunt of Diaa Hamarsheh, a “martyr” who went to Tel Aviv with an M-16 to kill as many Jews as possible*

All glory to the righteous martyrs of the Palestinian people who enlightened the path of freedom and independence with their pure blood.

Nasser Abu Hmeid. In 2002, Nasser, the right-hand man to arch-terrorist Marwan Barghouti, was convicted of murdering seven Israelis — Eliyahu Cohen, Binyamin and Talia Kahane, Gad Rejwan, Yosef Habi, Eli Dahan and Salim Barakat — in a number of terror attacks during the Second Intifada that he either personally carried out or directed from afar. He was also convicted of 12 counts of attempted murder and a number of other security-related charges. He had also previously been found guilty of murdering five Palestinians who collaborated with Israel in 1990 but was released a few years later as part of the Oslo Accords. PA President Abbas glorified Nasser at the United Nations in 2022 saying that they teach Palestinian children that “the heroic prisoner Nasser Abu Hmaid and his companions that dawn is coming, and it is time for their chains to be broken. Greetings from me and our entire people to all our heroic martyrs and families. I salute from this podium Nasser’s mother, the mother of prisoners and martyrs.”

If we had a single penny left, we would spend it on the families of the martyrs and the prisoners, and only then on the rest of the people…. We consider the martyrs and the prisoners to be stars in the sky of the Palestinian people and struggle. They have top priority in everything.
PA President Abbas in Ramallah on July 23, 2018

Khalil Jabarin, 17. Khalil stabbed and killed Israeli-American Ari Fuld who was talking on his phone outside of a store. PA Prisoner Affairs’ Commission spokesman Hassan Abd Rabbo confirmed that the Jabarin family was “eligible to receive a monthly salary of $390” under the PA’s Pay-to-Slay scheme. On September 18, 2023, a lawyer for the Fuld family said that “the Palestinian Authority doubled the monthly salary it pays the terrorist murderer of Ari Fuld, [of blessed memory], from $522 to $1,044.”

A few months earlier, on July 18, 2023, fifty members of the U.S. Congress signed a bi-partisan letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken to push the Palestinian Authority to stop paying terrorists a bounty for killing Israeli Jews. The letter noted that “For some Palestinians, terrorism literally pays. As you know, the Palestinian Authority has for decades provided financial compensation and other benefits to families of terrorists jailed in Israeli prisons and “martyrs” killed while carrying out attacks against Israelis. These payments cost the PA more than $300 million annually, at 8% of its budget.”

PA will not stop the transfer of funds…. President Abbas made it clear that the Palestinian Authority will not stop funding the families of our martyrs, even if we are down to the last penny.
Jenin Governor Akram Rajoub January 19, 2023

Arafat Irafaiya, 29. Arafat raped and killed Ori Ansbacher, 19, in the Ein Yael forest in the outskirts of Jerusalem. He said “I entered Israel with a knife because I wanted to become a martyr and murder a Jew, I met the girl by chance.”

*Ori Ansbacher, 19, killed by a Palestinian man who wanted to become a “martyr” by killing a Jew*

Every drop of blood spilled in Jerusalem is pure, every martyr will reach paradise, and every injured person will be rewarded by God.
PA President Abbas September 17, 2015

Bashar Masalha, 22. Bashar went on a stabbing spree against tourists walking near the beach at the Jaffa port, killing American Taylor Force who was on vacation. Official Palestinian Authority TV called him a “martyr” eleven times during his funeral. A reporter explained that his funeral was a “large national wedding befitting of Martyrs.”

these terrorists are not, in fact, lone rangers, they are not lone wolves acting from their independent hatred. Instead, these terrorists are the product of the programming done by the PA’s perverted culture that glorifies the willingness to die or to spend time in prison in pursuit of killing or maiming Israelis. The PA programmed this hate. These financial rewards are the main way they accomplish this.
U.S. House of Representatives Hearing on FINANCIALLY REWARDING TERRORISM IN THE WEST BANK, July 6, 2016

Palestinian Arabs are at the vanguard of antisemitism and terrorism against Jews, so programmed and prodded by their leadership. These same evil leaders are then afforded the global stage to ask the world to join them in their mission.

The only question is whether it’s the Palestinians or the United Nations which is more morally corrupt.

Palestinian Arabs Are Fighting For All of Israel, Not A New State In West Bank and Gaza

Posted on September 20, 2023 by First.One.Through

The latest quarterly Palestinian poll came out on September 13, 2023, which repeated commonly heard Palestinian attitudes about their disgust with their leadership and wanting to kill Jews. A deeper look at the trends related to an open-ended question reveals a disturbing reality.

When asked about the most important issue for Palestinians to address, the goal of “ending the occupation and establishing a new Palestinian state” was always the number one choice. The second most important issue has consistently been getting the “right of return” to move into towns in Israel.

A look at the trendline since 2011 shows a significant erosion of those seeking to form a new Palestinian State. In September 2011, 59% of Palestinian Arabs said that ending Israeli rule in the “West Bank” and Gaza was the top priority with only 24% considering a right of return to Israel as the main goal. That 35% gap shrunk by nearly half to 18% by September 2015 and by nearly half again in September 2018 when there was a 10% difference. Now the gap stands at a mere 7%.

The decline is virtually completely from a drop in enthusiasm for a new Palestinian State. The desire for a “right to return” to Israel has stayed virtually constant.

Not surprisingly based on the above, the opposition to a two state solution now stands at 67%.Opposition reached these elevated levels in early 2021, after a more modest opposition of 26% of Gazans and 40% of West Bank Arabs in December 2020.

It should not come as a surprise that Palestinians have come to oppose this Palestinian State. They view the leadership as terribly corrupt, with 78% wanting Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to reign. The man has refused to hold elections and will soon start the 19th year of his four year-term.

This latest poll also asked about the Oslo Accords, now reaching its 30th anniversary. Today, 68% of Palestinian think Oslo harmed Palestinian interests and 71% think it was a mistake to sign them. A majority of 63% wants the PA to now abandon the accords completely.

These various responses reflect a new reality: Palestinians are done pursuing a peace agreement with Israel in search of a new corrupt Palestinian State. They have begun to prioritize the goal of moving to Israel, and taking over the Jewish State. It’s why Palestinian leaders are no longer shy condemning the ‘Judaization’ of Israel itself, and not just Jerusalem. They have called the entirety of the Jewish State a “painful settlement” in what they perceive of as purely “Arab land.”

The spike in Palestinian Arab violence since the beginning of 2021 is no longer about “resisting the occupation” and establishing an Arab State in the West Bank and Gaza. Palestinians are launching a war for Israel itself, as it considers the Nakba a living reality and not a moment in history in 1948. They have convinced themselves that Israel will soon cease to exist, and have set their sites on the bigger prize – from the river to the sea.

“Two States For Two People” And An Arab “Right Of Return” Are Mutually Exclusive

Posted on September 20, 2023 by First.One.Through

Different formulas for striking a resolution to the Arab-Israeli Conflict have been advanced for decades. One sticking point seems banal on its surface, with ambiguous language which whitewashes the implausibility of implementation.

“A” Two State Solution Versus “The” Two State Solution

The United States has called for “A” two state solution, which is “two states for two peoples,” as President Biden has often said. One country is the Jewish State of Israel and the other country will become an Arab State of Palestine.

This is very different from the similarly named Arab-preferred “The” two state solution, which is the Arab Peace Initiative of 2002. That plan calls for an Arab State of Palestine and a bi-national state of Israel. That is not a formula for “two states for two people” but “one purely Arab state of Palestine and one state where Jews are allowed to live in Israel.”

The Arab two state plan calls for a “Right of Return” of 14 million Arabs who have some roots in Palestine to enter either Israel or Palestine, depending where ancestors had lived. Israel now has roughly 7.2 million Jews, so the clear goal is to end Jewish sovereignty in their homeland.

The difference is stark and both Republicans and Democrats in the United States fully understand the nature of the Arab claim for a “right of return” to end the Jewish state.

In a April 14, 2004 letter from U.S. President George W. Bush to Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, Bush wrote “It seems clear that an agreed, just, fair, and realistic framework for a solution to the Palestinian refugee issue as part of any final status agreement will need to be found through the establishment of a Palestinian state, and the settling of Palestinian refugees there, rather than in Israel.”

The Democrats had an almost identical clause in its platform (until President Barak Obama removed it) which stated “the creation of a Palestinian state through final status negotiations, together with an international compensation mechanism, should resolve the issue of Palestinian refugees by allowing them to settle there, rather than in Israel.“

A return for refugees would end Israel’s existence as a Jewish state.
BDS Leader, Omar Barghouti

The principle of “Two states for two people” and an Arab “Right of return” are mutually exclusive, and must be stated clearly by those pretending to advance an end to the conflict.

Saudi Students In United States

Posted on September 19, 2023 by First.One.Through

Over the 1990s decade, Saudi Arabia sent roughly 5,000 students per year to learn in the United States. After the terror attacks of 9/11/01 in which Saudis killed almost 3,000 people in the U.S., the number of Saudi students declined.

For a while.

In 2003, as the American War on Terror raged in mostly Muslim countries, the Kennedy-Lugar Youth Exchange and Study Program was launched. The goal was to bring “High school students from countries with significant Muslim populations [to] live and study in the United States for an academic year through the U.S.”

In the 2005/6 academic year, the program hit stride and really began to focus on Saudi Arabia, and reversed the trends of declining Saudi students in the U.S. The number of students grew from just over 3,000 in the 2004/5 academic year to over 61,000 in 2015/6. That high figure represents 0.2% of the entire population of Saudi Arabia to a single country. By way of comparison, the ENTIRE American students abroad cohort all over the world is around 162,000, or 0.05% of the U.S. population.

The whopping Saudi figures of 2014/5 and 2015/6 began to decline with the terrorist attacks in Europe including the Charlie Hebdo and kosher supermarket attacks of January 2015. Around that time, Saudi Arabian spies were also caught stealing private user information from Twitter to enable the government to crack down on users posting negative things about the monarchy.

Under the Trump administration, for all of the comments that President Trump cozied to the Saudis, the declining trend continued, which did not get any pushback from liberals who were incensed by the killing and dismemberment of dissident journalist Jamaal Khashoggi.

For the 2021/22 academic year, China and India were the countries with the largest cohort of students learning in the U.S., as Saudi Arabia dropped to number 7, “primarily due to changes in its government’s scholarship program.” COVID disrupted the program significantly in the following years. In 2021/22, China accounted for 31% and India 21% of all international students.

The human rights abuses in China, Saudi Arabia and Nigeria continue, and the U.S. continues to bring in their students, perhaps in an effort to build bridges to a more tolerant future.

In 2022, Saudi Arabia executed 196 people, the highest record in a single year recorded by Amnesty International. The trend has continued in 2023, including the July 2023 death sentence handed to Mohammad al-Ghamdi, who tweeted negative things about the government.

The United States is once again trying to build bridges to the powerful, rich and morally-defective Saudi kingdom. Fruits of that effort may be found throughout America’s college campuses.

US Embassy to Israel Ignores Jewish Holidays

Posted on September 17, 2023 by First.One.Through

September 16 and 17, 2023 were celebrated by Jews around the world as the start of the new year. Together with Yom Kippur next week, they mark the holiest days in Judaism.

The United States embassy to Israel did not mark the occasion with any wishes to the Jews in Israel or around the world. This stood in sharp contrast to commemorating holidays for other religions.

In April 2023, the US embassy posted articles about the US Ambassador to Israel hosting Muslims to celebrate an Iftar meal. It also posted about National Arab American Heritage Month. In March, the site posted a message from the Secretary of State and his wish to “the 1.8 billion Muslims around the world Ramadan Kareem.”

Yet the embassy did not post about Jewish Heritage Month in May. It did not post Passover wishes which coincided with Ramadan in 2023. It has not wished any Jews greetings over their high holy days in September.

The embassy is well aware of the holidays. It chose to warn Jews to not travel to Uman, Ukraine over Rosh Hashana. President Biden wished Jews a happy holiday but the embassy staff in Israel did think it important to share, even as it does so for Muslim holidays.

The current staff of the U.S. embassy to Israel is seemingly going out of its way to belittle Jews and Judaism, and court Arabs and Muslims.

PA President Mahmoud Abbas Wishes Jews Happy New Year, Not

Posted on September 14, 2023 by First.One.Through

It has been a long-standing tradition of Israeli Prime Ministers to wish warm holiday blessings to Christians and Muslims in the Jewish State and around the world.

In 2018, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said “I would like to wish the Muslim and Druze an ‘Eid al-Adha mubarak.’ I’m proud for the fact that in Israel we have freedom of worship for all: Muslims, Druze, Christians, Baha’is, Jews — everyone. And I would like to wish you and your families a happy holiday. Bless you.”

In 2017 Netanyahu said “I wish #Ramadan Kareem to Israel’s Muslim citizens and Muslims around the world, hoping for much needed brotherhood, mutual respect & peace.”

In 2023, Israeli President Isaac Herzog reached out to Muslim leaders ahead of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, extending his wishes for “peace, happiness and health.”

In 2021, Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said “I want to wish all Christians in Israel and across the world a Merry Christmas.”

Every year in the Jewish State, the heads of government – whoever is in power – reach out to people of other faiths to offer words of peace, respect and happiness.

This never happens for the Palestinian Arab leadership. The Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is too busy with antisemitic tirades – and then defending himself as not really an antisemite – to utter any words of blessing to the Jewish people as they celebrate their holidays. He prefers to use his pulpit to inform Jews that they are fake Jews with fake history and heritage, who have no roots in the holy land and are deeply racist.

It’s not too late. Someone, please wake up the corrupt and unpopular leader and tell him to stand before the microphone and wish Jews in the holy land and all around the world a peaceful and happy new year. As of now, Jews in Jerusalem are placing armed guards in their sanctuaries, as they await the fruit from Palestinian leadership incitement to arrive at their doorsteps.

Abbas Declares All of Israel is a “Painful Settlement”

United Nations Urges ‘Utmost Restraint’ By Israel In Defending Synagogues On High Holidays

Posted on September 14, 2023 by First.One.Through

Satire?

The United Nations Secretary General Antonio Gutteres is concerned when armed parties might use lethal force. He has frequently urged that ‘utmost restraint’ be exercised by two warring parties like Lebanon and Israel (2021), and when a government confronts unarmed civilians, such as Iran confronting demonstrators (2022) and the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan (2021).

In only one situation has the UNSG urged ‘utmost restraint’ when fighting terrorists: Israel fighting Palestinian Arab terrorism, as he did after an Arab terrorist killed seven Jews outside of a synagogue on a Sabbath in Jerusalem (2023).

The situation has become tense once again.

As Jews around the world prepare to celebrate their holiest days of Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur, for the first time, Israel announced it will have armed guards at all synagogues in Jerusalem due to heightened security threats from Palestinian Arabs.

*Jerusalem’s Great Synagogue* (photo: FirstOneThrough)

The Palestinian leadership expressed outrage and asked the UN to intervene. U.S. members of Congress Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) said that “more guns lead to more deaths,” with Bowman adding that he would urge the United States to restrict military aid to Israel if armed guards located at synagogues resulted in any Arab deaths over the Jewish holy days.

Josh Earnest, spokesperson for former President Obama noted that Jews in Jerusalem “provoke tensions“, while The New York Times referred to those Jews as “right-wing settlers.” Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas decried the entire situation of Israel trying to “Judaize” Jerusalem with “Talmudic rituals.”

Meanwhile, though Israel limited access for Jews to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem during Islamic holidays even when it overlapped with Jewish holidays, the Jewish State has not announced any restrictions on Arab movement in Jerusalem during the Jewish holiday season which have no Islamic holidays. Amnesty International declared Israel to be an ‘apartheid‘ regime privileging Jews anyway.

The UN’s Gutteres issued a statement in time for the holidays telling Israel to “exercise restraint and use only proportional force and the duty to minimize damage and injury and respect and preserve human life,” when confronting potential jihadi terrorists at synagogues. That includes only fighting Arab assailants with knives and meat cleavers if those are the weapons the terrorists choose.

The Israeli government opted to quote former Israeli Prime Minister Menahem Begin over the global concern and threats over Israel defending Jews praying in synagogues during the holidays: “A Jew must learn to defend himself. He must forever be prepared for whenever threat looms…. The world may not necessarily like the fighting Jew, but the world will have to take account of him.”
