PA President Mahmoud Abbas Wishes Jews Happy New Year, Not

Posted on by

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.

Blinken Preps Netanyahu And Abbas For UN

The United Nations General Assembly is getting ready to welcome foreign leaders this month. In advance of the New York gathering, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority President(-for Life) Mahmoud Abbas yesterday.

Blinken’s call to Netanyahu revolved around four principle elements: working together on “bilateral partnerships”; commitment to Israel’s security including dealing with Iran; integration into the region; and advancing a productive future with Palestinians. The call to Abbas focused on: “ongoing violence” in the region; quality of life for Palestinians; and a commitment for a “two-state solution.”

To Israel, Blinken mentioned a peaceful coexistence with Palestinians but he didn’t even mention the word “Israel” to the PA leader as he focused only Palestinians’ desire for a good quality of life. In addressing the Israeli leader, Blinken mentioned America’s commitment to Israel’s security but to the Palestinians, the Secretary of State simply mentioned concern about the violence without addressing who was committing and instigating the attacks and the U.S.’s determination to stand opposed to terror.

The official Palestinian news agency, Wafa covered the Blinken call and discussed what Abbas discussed on the call:

“President Mahmoud Abbas stressed, during the call, that what the Israeli occupation authorities and their forces and settlers who practice terrorism are doing contributes to undermining the two-state solution and destroys all chances of achieving peace, calling on the US administration to accept the State of Palestine’s endeavor to obtain full membership in the UN by a Security Council decision, and to end all sanctions imposed on the Palestinians due to US laws, and build normal relations between the US administration and the State of Palestine, including reopening the US consulate in Jerusalem and an office for Palestine in Washington, and restoring the direct aid program.

“On the other hand, President Abbas stressed the need to oblige the Israeli occupation authorities to stop all their aggressive practices and unilateral Israeli actions, adhere to the signed agreements, and focus on the political horizon.

“President Abbas stressed that the State of Palestine will continue its efforts at the UN level in order to obtain full membership in the UN, and implement the resolutions of international legitimacy and the Arab Peace Initiative, by ending the Israeli occupation of the State of Palestine, with its capital, East Jerusalem, on the 1967 borders.”

While Abbas ranted about Israeli “terrorism’, Blinken seemingly opted to not mention the U.S.’s commitment to Israel’s security, and didn’t even mention “Israel” on the official call notes. Abbas told Blinken that he wanted Palestine to have full UN membership and the opening of political offices for the PA in the U.S., and Blinken avoided the topic and focused on Palestinians rather than the PA.

It is safe to assume that the United Nations General Assembly will continue to be a spectacle of disappointment as a parade of dictators and anti-Semites are given a global platform. Any real peace may be achieved in bilateral meetings held in restaurants and apartments away from the microphones.

The failure to resolve the Israeli-Arab conflict is because the local Arabs refuse to accept the presence of Jews and believe that the Jewish State will eventually disappear. With such orientation, there is virtually no Palestinian interest in peace talks, and popular support is around “resistance” by “any means necessary” to rid the land of Jews.

Meaning, to kill them, or enough of them to make the rest scared enough to leave.

For those interested in resolving the conflict, Palestinian society must be instilled with basic truths:

  • Jews are indigenous to the holy land
  • Two Jewish Temples stood in Jerusalem on the Temple Mount
  • The land of Israel is, and always has been, central to Judaism
  • Jews are not going to leave; this is their homeland

These truths do not negate (or should not) negate a Palestinian narrative that they are also native to the land and have lived there for generations. However, it replaces the extremist vitriol prevalent among Palestinian leadership, radical imams, college professors (like Columbia University’s Joseph Massad) and the B.D.S. movement which are built on the foundation of antisemitism in advancing anti-Zionism.

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas addressed the United Nations on May 15, 2023 and rejected the history of Jews in their homeland.

In addition to reiterating these facts, governments and the United Nations need to take clear steps to advance peace:

  • Unequivocally support the Jewish State in fighting terror
  • Unequivocally condemn the recruiting, training, arming and using children as terrorists
  • Clearly label Hamas as not only an Islamic militant group but a designated terrorist group, no different than the Taliban, ISIL and Boko Haram
  • Palestine will be unwelcome to speak at the United Nations unless it ceases funding and inciting terrorist activities
  • Support Jews peacefully accessing and praying at their holiest site on the Temple Mount, a fundamental human right (reject the “status quo”)
  • Repeal UN Security Council Resolution 2334 which made it illegal for Jews – and only Jews – to live throughout their homeland

As long as the UN continues to waffle – and contradict – these moral points, Palestinians will continue to reject coexistence and pursue terrorism against Jews. The local Arabs believe that Hamas’s terrorism got Israel to leave Gaza in 2005, and the next generation of terrorists will ultimately chase Jews from their promised land.

The world is exacerbating Palestinian terrorism and destroying any path towards peace because it fails to address the root cause of the conflict which is Palestinians’ refusal to coexist with Jews. The flawed traditional bias of pressuring the more powerful party (Israel) and absolving the weaker (Palestinian Arabs) is exactly the opposite of what is required to form an enduring peace in the Middle East.

Palestinians View Jews Like The French Viewed Nazis

Zionists have not internalized the venom with which most Arabs view Jewish presence in the holy land.

Nazi Germany invaded France in May 1940 and the reaction was mixed. A minority saddled up to the Nazis and facilitated the enactment of antisemitic laws and rounding up Jews for deportation. Many French formed “resistance” groups to fight the invaders, and enlisted the help of foreign countries to rid the homeland of those interlopers. They used all means at their disposal to return France to its 1939 reality.

Most Palestinian Arabs view Jews in the holy land the same way.

Arabs reject the history of Jews in Israel, especially in Jerusalem. They claim that the entire Zionist enterprise is a fiction of European creation. Palestinian leadership demands an apology from the United Kingdom for advancing the Balfour Declaration, and Hamas, the dominant political party in the Palestinian parliament considers killing Jews a “natural” response to the colonialist effort. They “resist” the Jews by any and all means possible, and polls show the majority of Palestinian Arabs support killing Jews inside of Israel. They are convinced that eventually these foreign Jews will leave and that the Jewish State won’t live to see its 100th birthday.

Anti-Zionist groups understand this. The Palestinian group Within Our Lifetime held a rally calling to use “any means necessary” (meaning violence) to liberate their land “from the river to the sea.” The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) told attendees at a conference that American Jews are “enemies” because they support Israel. Students for Justice in Palestine say Zionism is based on “racism, expansionism, [and] settler colonialism,” and the Palestinian Authority Minister of Culture called Jews “invaders.“

Palestinians aren’t frustrated by the lack of a Palestinian State on a fraction of historic Palestine; they are infuriated that the world would consider chopping up their homeland. They rejected the notion of a Jewish State in 1917, again at the United Nations in 1947, and to this very moment. They don’t think of a “Nakba” as an event in the past, but discuss an “ongoing Nakba” in Israel’s existence now.

Yet people talk about the “two state solution” as though it is something that needs to be imposed on Israel, when Israel is the party that has consistently tried to advance an enduring peace. It is the Arabs who reject the “invaders”, “colonialists” and “enemies” who have robbed them of their homeland.

One cannot advance actions for a “peace process” without interalizing that Palestinian Arabs continue to reject the basic presence of Jews. From the 1940s through 1970s, the Palestinians turned to fellow Muslim Arab countries to destroy the Jewish State. Now they turn to the global community to combat the “Zionist entity” and Zionists in the global community.

US Ambassador to the United Nations lambasts “settlement activity.”

What happened: Linda Thomas-Greenfield, US Ambassador to the United Nations replied to remarks made by Tor Wennesland, UN’s Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, at the UN Security Council on August 21, 2023. After condemning all acts of violence, whether committed by “Palestinian militants, or extremist Israeli settlers”, she added:

“we urge all parties to take proactive measures to counter all forms of violence and incitement to violence, and refrain from actions that inflame tensions including settlement activity, evictions, the demolition of Palestinian homes, terrorism, incitement of violence, and payments to the families of terrorists.”

The Message: The United States has taken the position that Jews living east of the 1949 Armistice Lines (E49) (commonly called “settlers”) is so upsetting to Arabs that it is on the same level as Palestinians killing Jewish civilians.

It suggests that the US position is that Israeli “actions that inflame tensions,” which could be normal non-violent activity such as Jews visiting the Jewish Temple Mount during normal visiting hours, is equivalent to Palestinians inciting violence and the Arab government paying for the murder.

Scene after Palestinian Arab killed Israeli father and son at a car wash in the West Bank, August 2023

The Danger: There is no moral equivalence between terrorism and… anything. By equating the payment, incitement and actual murder of people with anything, is a tacit blessing to engage in every kind of preventative activity – including violence – to stop such actions from taking place. In the case of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, it greenlights Palestinian jihadists to attack Jews sleeping in their beds, visiting a car wash or praying in the Old City of Jerusalem.

Email UN Mission to UN: “There is no equivalence between Arab terror and Jews upsetting Palestinians with their presence.”

News departments around the world are at the smallest levels, as the Internet destroyed the business model many years ago. Due to that reality, media outlets use the same source information and then craft it in a manner that fits the biases of its management team and readership.

The range of headlines that can emerge from a single story in a highly charged environment like the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is almost too remarkable to believe. Consider a story from August 17, 2023:

The plain facts are that the Israeli Defense Forces entered Jenin to arrest two people. As they encircled a building to arrest two wanted men, Palestinians fired on the troops who returned fire. A 32-year old Palestinian Arab named Mustafa al-Kastouni died of his wounds. He was a member of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, a U.S. designated foreign terrorist organization.

Here’s how different media showcased the story online:

  • “Israeli forces kill Palestinian youth during Jenin raid,” wrote the official Palestinian news media Wafa, describing a 32 year old as a child. He was killed by “Israel forces” making the dynamic a David vs. Goliath scenario.
  • “Palestinian youth shot dead by zionist forces in Jenin,” read the Turkish ILKHA, repeating the lie that the Palestinian was a child and using inflammatory language that dismisses Israel as a country.
  • “Martyr, injuries from IOF fire during Jenin raid,” was the headline from Al Mayadeen, a Lebanese-based media group, that opted to sanctify the Palestinian gunman.
  • “Israel blows up Jenin bakery to assassinate resistance fighter,” was the most inflammatory headline cooked up by an online news site The Cradle, where anyone can contribute.
  • “Another Israeli raid on occupied West Bank’s Jenin kills one Palestinian,” from The New Arab also added inflammatory language in the headline to make the event part of a broader story of Israelis constantly invading Palestinian territory.
  • “One fatally shot during Israeli Occupation raid on Jenin,” from Jordan’s RoyaNews did not identify the dead man as a Palestinian Arab which was implied by the Israeli raid.
  • “Israeli forces kill Palestinian during Jenin raid” was the Middle East Eye headline, giving neither age nor status as to whether the man was armed.
  • “Israeli forces kill Palestinian during Jenin arrest raid,” from al Quds, an independent Palestinian-British site, was similar.
  • “Israeli forces fatally shoot Palestinian man in Jenin raid,” from Iranian PressTV also followed the most common fomat.
  • “Israel forces kill Palestinian in Jenin,” was the short headline from Middle East Monitor, was similar to Middle East Eye but dropped mentioning the raid.
  • “Israeli raid on Jenin kills Palestinian,” was the curt headline from ArabNews.
  • “Palestinian Killed in Exchange of Fire With Israeli Military in Jenin, Palestinian Health Ministry Says,” read the left-wing Israeli Haaretz headline, which added that there was an exchange of fire.
  • “Israeli troops kill a Palestinian militant in a gunbattle outside a West Bank bakery,” wrote ABCNews, in a bizarre highlight of the bakery on the ground floor of the building where the shooting took place.
  • “Israel raid kills West Bank militant, wounds health worker: Palestinians,” wrote France24, saying that the Palestinian killed was a militant in the West Bank.
  • “West Bank: a member of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades killed in Jenin,” was the headline from Italy’s AgenziaNova, which uniquely highlighted the terrorist group affiliation of the Palestinian man.
  • “Palestinian gunman killed, terror cell arrested by Israeli forces in Jenin,” wrote The Times of Israel, marking the incident as between armed groups.
  • “An Israeli Raid on Jenin, a West Bank Militant Stronghold, Kills 1, Palestinians Say” was the Newsmax headline, which emphasized that Palestinian militants control Jenin.
  • “Palestinian Terrorist Killed as IDF Engages in Heavy Clashes in Jenin,” was the headline from Hamodia, a Jewish publication, labeling the Palestinian man as a terrorist.
  • “Clashes erupt in West Bank’s Jenin, one Palestinian terrorist killed,” from Israel’s i24News highlights that a terrorist was killed but doesn’t attribute the source of the fire from Israeli troops.

Such is the biased coverage from pro-Palestinian to pro-Israeli in the Middle East and European media. It demonstrates how news today is a crafted editorial to lead a reader to particular conclusions.

Some additional takeaways from this reporting is that Palestinian news lies openly and Israel’s left-wing Haaretz reporting mirrors that from Arab countries, while the right-wing US site Newsmax aligns its stories with Israeli and Jewish news sites.

Reading a single source of news about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will inevitably leave a reader with a highly skewed view of any story, and if that source is the official news of the Palestinian Authority, with complete fabrications, commonly called #FakeNews.

Palestinian Authority “Martyrs Fund” May Soon Fund Killing Jews in the US and UK

Martyrs are a core part of the Palestinian Arab psyche which goes to the heart of the ceaseless violence in the region. It may soon go global.

Martyrs as Palestinian “compass”

The Palestinian “martyrs” are held as the morale direction and highest aspiration of Palestinian “resistance” movement for “liberation” of all of the land of Israel.

  • The Palestinian Youth Movement says that “Our martyrs and prisoners remain our compass,” as it urged the Democratic Socialists of America to join them on their crusade for the destruction of the Jewish State.
  • Palestinian Media Watch translated the text of a Fatah run summer camp for children saying “They [the Martyrs] are moons, they are stars, they are the elite, and they are the ones who sacrificed their lives. They were and will remain in our memories and in the memory of their children and their grandchildren.”

Martyrs are Palestinian “heroes”

  • Dalal Mughrabi was a woman who killed 37 people including 12 children. The Palestinian Authority (PA) named public squares and elementary schools after her. She is a featured celebrity in Palestinian society. School children call her the “bride of Jaffa” to this day. Fatah, the political party of PA President Mahmoud Abbas, posted on its Facebook page about Dalal’s terrorist operation and referred to her as a “martyr” four times.
  • In 2020, the Student Union Council at Palestine Polytechnic University gifted the school with a gate named after Salah Khalaf, the leader of the Black September terror organization who planned the Munich Olympics massacre, in which 11 Israeli athletes were murdered in 1972. According to the Israeli watchdog group Palestinian Media Watch, there are four Palestinian schools named after Salah Khalaf. The PA said he “will always be [our] compass” … “whose death as Martyrs the Fatah Movement and the revolution presented the most spectacular aspects of pride, glory, and loyalty.”
New York City, April 2022

Martyrs are compensated

The Palestinian Authority pays “martyrs,” prisoners and their families according to a schedule of how long they sit in Israeli jails. The more severe the crime, the longer the sentence and larger payments to the martyr’s family. The PA pays these funds to “anyone incarcerated in the occupation’s prisons for his participation in the struggle against the occupation,” which could include Palestinians or Israelis, as long as they do not belong to Hamas. In this way, the PA tries to foment terrorism inside of Israel and take a more commanding role in the terror than its political rival Hamas.

Martyrs are absolved of any crime as “resisting occupation”

The Palestinian Arabs view all of the land “from the River to the Sea” as Arab land, and the State of Israel as a “painful settlement.” They believe that all Arabs in the region are under “occupation” and that they have a right to “resist” by any and all means, including violence. Such are the opinions in Al Jazeera, TRT World and Middle East Eye to name a few.

In summary, Palestinian propaganda states that all of Israel is illegal and violent reaction to that occupation – against civilians and military – is legal and legitimate. It celebrates those who have died fighting against the presence of Jews and encourages its youth to participate in the jihad to rid the land of Jews.

Going global

The BDS movement parrots this Palestinian propaganda. In response to the Democratic Socialists of America calling all Jewish Israelis fair target for attack on June 28, 2023, Rep. Ritchie Torres tweeted “Denying Israelis the status of civilians means declaring them fair game for violence and terror. If a naked justification of terror against Israel is not a sign of a demonic double standard against the Jewish State, I am not sure what would be.”

On July 30, 2023, Abbas spoke in Egypt about taking his war globally. As translated by PMW: “We also will submit lawsuits against the US and Britain for their responsibility for the Balfour Promise and its implementation through the British Mandate for Palestine… One of our most important weapons today is disseminating our Palestinian narrative, which confirms the Palestinian people’s existence on its historical homeland and its consecutive presence on this land for thousands of years. The authentic Palestinian narrative is currently gaining acceptance and sympathy worldwide. Our success in imposing our national narrative on human consciousness is in itself debunking the false Zionist and Israeli claims and narratives, which have strived and still strive to harm the image of our people and its legitimate struggle to restore its national rights.”

The Palestinian Authority is pushing its antisemitic deadly narrative beyond the Middle East that all Zionists are fair game for violent attack. The calls to “Globalize the Intifada,” the BDS’s “Mapping Project” which identifies Jewish institutions, and CAIR’s labeling of Jews as “enemies” are dead canaries in the coal mine. The PA is looking for money – perhaps from the $6 billion that the United States just handed the Islamic Republic of Iran – to expand its Martyrs Fund for anyone who attacks Zionists around the world. Civilized people everywhere must shut down the fictional narrative and the organizations which promote the terror.

Email the White House to stop all payments to the Palestinian Authority as long as it continues the Martyrs Fund, and all funds to universities that promote the idea that Israel is illegal and attacking Zionists is allowed

Countries around the world have taken different approaches towards sexual prostitution. Some believe that the practice exploits women and ban the practice, while other states feel that people should be entitled to bodily freedom and manage personal affairs in a manner of their choosing.

There is one government that stands apart from all the others:

  • That allows parents to profit from their children’s bodies
  • Where the government is the john paying the parents for offering up their children’s bodies
  • Whose children are trained and armed to slaughter innocent people, often resulting in the child’s own death

That heinous government is the Palestinian Authority (PA), which pays a lifetime of rewards to the families of young terrorists who murder Jews.

The PA has a special mercenary prostitution budget for its “Martyrs’ Fund,” now $300 million per year, or 8% of its annual budget. Disgusted by the practice, a bipartisan group of members of Congress asked Secretary of State Antony Blinken for an update on whether the PA will halt the payments in June. In 2018, PA President Mahmoud Abbas said he would spend the “last penny” of its money for the terrorist fund, spitting in the face of basic human dignity. In 2021, Prime Minister Shtayyeh repeated Abbas’ vow.

The United Nations knows full well that Palestinians send their children to kill Jewish civilians but says nothing against the grotesque, illegal and immoral actions, and instead lambasts Israel for killing these young terrorists engaged in attacks.

Meanwhile, the parents of the young terrorists couldn’t be happier with the death of Jews, the glorification of their dead children in Palestinian society and the lifetime of income that the carnage yields. One terrorist mother pimp said after hearing of the death of one of her children, “By Allah, if all my children and grandchildren are martyred for the sake of Allah, it will make me happy.”

Palestinian society is systemically and deeply deformed as evidenced by Arab terrorists’ mothers pimping their children to commit violent jihad, funded by the global sponsors of the Palestinian Authority.

“Deformity in Palestinian Culture” Is A Permanent Feature

James Zogby, President of the Arab American Institute was invited to speak to the United Nations Security Council on June 27, 2023 about the “situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question”, to make a case against Israel and defend Palestinian Arabs. The UNSC did not invite a comparable person to make the case against the Palestinian Authority and defend Israel, yet another demonstration of the entrenched bias against the Jewish State.

Zogby was given the floor for some time when he said the following:

“Given that traumatic nightmare visited upon millions of Palestinians for the past 56 years, is it any wonder that a recent poll shows a majority of Palestinians rejecting moderate leadership, despairing of peaceful change and now favouring armed struggle? That tragic deformity in Palestinian political culture is the result of the continued brutality of the occupation. It is also important to see the impact the harshness the occupation is having on the Arab world. While polls we conducted four years ago found a large majority in most Arab countries favouring exploring peace with Israel, saying that it might temper Israel’s behaviour and stop the violence, more recent polling suggests the hope has decidedly diminished.”

Zogby lies that Palestinian Arabs have changed their views and rejected moderate leadership and turned to violently fighting Israel in several regards.

“Moderate leadership”

The Palestinian Authority president is Mahmoud Abbas.

  • He wrote his doctoral thesis on Holocaust denial
  • He actively pays and prioritizes the payment of monies to terrorists who kill Israelis
  • He jails Arabs who sell homes to Jews
  • He has demanded a new country to be devoid of Jews
  • He’s viewed as wildly corrupt by Palestinians
  • He’s refused to hold elections, as he knows he would get trounced, so has remained in power since 2005, 18 years on, even though he was elected to a four year term

The Palestinian parliament is controlled by Hamas, with 58% of the seats since 2006.

  • It is a U.S. foreign terrorist organization, and many other countries consider it a terrorist group
  • It has the most antisemitic founding charter of any ever written in the world – including Nazi Germany – blending a mix of the forgery Protocols of the Elders of Zion (from which it quotes) and Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf
  • It has fired tens of thousands of rockets into Israel
  • It is committed to the destruction of the Jewish State
  • It is devoted to covering the entire region with Islamic religious law

In what world do the Palestinians have a “moderate leadership?” Palestinians elected and are governed by corrupt, antisemitic, genocidal jihadists.

Palestinians elected and are governed by corrupt, antisemitic, genocidal jihadists.

A Devoted Path of Violence

Palestinians have always preferred violence to peace.

  • Rejected the 1947 U.N. Partition Plan and opted to enlist the surrounding Arab states to destroy Israel
  • Attempted to destroy Israel again in 1967
  • Attempted to destroy Israel again during the holiest day in Judaism, Yom Kippur, in 1973
  • After Israel handed several cities to the Palestinian Authority and tried to make peace as part of the Oslo Accords, Palestinians opted to embark on a multi-year wave of horrific terrorism from 2000 to 2004, which only abated after Israel erected a security barrier and with the death of Yasser Arafat
  • After Israel withdrew from Gaza, Palestinians let the enclave be governed by the political-terrorist group Hamas which has launched repeated wars from the area
  • Gazans have always preferred violence to peace in every poll since 2001 (see chart below), while the sentiment of West Bank Arabs has changed over time.
Data from PCPSR polls shows the majority of Gazans always in favor of killing Jewish civilians inside of Israel, and West Bank Arabs generally moving away from such sentiment from 2008 to 2014 and again from 2017 to 2021.

In 2011, after two Palestinian Arabs slaughtered a family of five Jews while they slept – the parents and children aged 11, 4 and three months – 51.0% of Gazan Arabs said they supported the demonic action.

That does not represent a society “despairing of peaceful change” but of a barbaric cult.

The 2011 Massacre of the Fogel Family in Itamar

It was briefly satisfying to hear a leading Arab voice acknowledge at the United Nations that there is a current “deformity in Palestinian political culture” but unfortunately the toxicity goes well beyond politics and a moment in time.

Raging To Kill Jews: Bowers On Death Row And Tamimi Walking Free

Posted on by

Robert Bowers came to a Pittsburgh synagogue armed with an AR-15 and other weapons to kill as many Jews as possible. After killing 11, he told police that “all these Jews need to die.” This week, he was sentenced to the death penalty for his crimes.

Ahlam al-Tamimi found a restaurant in central Jerusalem bustling with young Jewish families. She dropped off her comrade at the scene who blew up the store, killing 15 people including a pregnant woman and 7 children. Three US nationals were among those injured and killed in the attack. Today, she walks freely in Jordan.

Ahlam al-Tamimi is the #4 most wanted terrorist by the FBI

When Tamimi was interviewed about her role on the bombing on Palestinian al Aqsa TV in July 2012 she recounted the events after she left the carnage:

“Afterwards, when I took the bus, the Palestinians around Damascus Gate [in Jerusalem] were all smiling. You could sense that everybody was happy. When I got on the bus, nobody knew that it was me who had led [the suicide bomber to the target]. I was feeling quite strange, because I had left [the bomber] ‘Izz Al-Din behind, but inside the bus, they were all congratulating one another. They didn’t even know one another, yet they were exchanging greetings…While I was sitting on the bus, the driver turned on the radio. But first, let me tell you about the gradual rise in the number of casualties. While I was on the bus and everybody was congratulating one another.”

After hearing an initial report that “three people were killed” in the bombing, Tamimi stated:

“I admit that I was a bit disappointed, because I had hoped for a larger toll. Yet when they said “three dead”, I said: ‘Allah be praised’…Two minutes later, they said on the radio that the number had increased to five. I wanted to hide my smile, but I just couldn’t. Allah be praised, it was great. As the number of dead kept increasing, the passengers were applauding.”

In another interview on Jordanian Ammon News website she said “I do not regret what happened. Absolutely not. This is the path. I dedicated myself to Jihad for the sake of Allah, and Allah granted me success. You know how many casualties there were [in the 2001 attack on the Sbarro pizzeria]. This was made possible by Allah. Do you want me to denounce what I did? That’s out of the question. I would do it again today, and in the same manner.”

With Al Jazeera, Tamimi offered that “from a Palestinian, as well as international law perspective, it is perfectly legitimate to resist the Israeli occupation,” grotesquely twisting the basic notion of ‘resistance’ as the gleeful slaughter of innocent families, a refrain used by many Palestinian Arab extremists.

The Palestinian Authority also seems to agree, praising her on television.

Americans are disgusted.

Yael Lampert, slated to become the United States’ Ambassador to Jordan, said during her May 4, 2023 confirmation hearing (1:08:00) that “I will do everything in my power to ensure that Ahlam al-Tamimi faces justice in the US for her horrific crimes.”

In light of potential upcoming pressure from the United States, it is rumored that “Jordan is planning to transport Ahlam Tamimi either into its border with Egypt or Iraq, where from Tamimi will be secretly escorted to Iran or Qatar. Another source said, a high-powered team of Hamas is coordinating this matter.”

The gleeful thirst for Jewish blood was met with a solemn death penalty verdict in the United States but applause and smiles in the Jordanian-Palestinian Arab community. Which represents your values?

ACTION ITEM

Email Secretary of State Antony Blinken at secretary@state.gov “Pressure Jordan to extradite Ahlam al-Tamimi for her participation in the murder and injury of over 100 innocent civilians including many children.”
