Born to the same father but different mothers, Saddam and Sadden Awoudeh were never close growing up.

The two half-siblings, both raised as Muslims in the Palestinian Authority-controlled section of the city of Hebron, were born twelve years apart, and saw little of each other growing up.

Over the last year, however, the two have been brought together – in part by their shared plans to convert to Judaism. Continue Reading »

REPORT: Palestinian leadership indoctrinate the children to die fighting Israel

 

If world leaders were really serious about promoting a genuine Israeli-Palestinian peace, they need to pressure Palestinian leaders to prepare future generations for peace, by replacing gov’t sponsored anti-Israel incitement and “martyrdom” adulation, with messages of peaceful coexistence as Israel teaches.

Palestinians Exploiting Children to Fight Israel By Noah Beck

 

The new Palestinian curriculum for grades 1 to 4 “is significantly more radical than previous curricula,” concludes a new study by Hebrew University’s Institute for Monitoring Peace and Cultural Tolerance in School Education (IMPACT-se-se). It “teaches students to be martyrs, demonizes and denies the existence of Israel, and focuses on a ‘return’ to an exclusively Palestinian homeland.” Continue Reading »

$24 million ‘Palestinian museum’ opens – with no exhibits or artifacts

 

Since the ‘Palestinian’ culture is young, having only been declared in the mid 1960’s, more time will be needed before genuine archaeological exhibits are added.

By Hillel Fendel

Hit her, but don’t make her ugly.

That’s the message of an official Palestinian Authority (PA) television show in Gaza teaching Muslim men how to keep their wives “in line,” as translated by Palestinian Media Watch.

“When she makes a mistake,” explains the PA Mufti of Gaza, Hassan Al-Laham, “he will explain: you shouldn’t do this and that.” After this warning stage, advises the Mufti, men should “separate” from their wives until they change their behavior. Continue Reading »

Founder of Palestinian movement worked with Nazis in WWII

Whenever the war of annihilation against Israel has threatened to die out, as it did after Israel’s victory in her 1948 War of Independence, or again after Israel’s peace treaties with Egypt and Jordan, it has been the Palestinian national movement that has reignited it through its relentless campaign to demonize Israel and slaughter her citizens.

 

 

During a debate at Arizona State University against anti-Israel Israelis of the far left, I told the story of Haj Amin al-Husseini, founder of the Palestinian national movement and protégé of Adolf Hitler. Seeing heads shake in disbelief, I challenged those who doubted these facts to Google it. Continue Reading »
