Palestinians Angered at ICC Report Suggesting War Crimes Violations

Palestinian school books teach Arab children to become martyrs, then the PA rewarding them with lifetime stipends incrementally based on the number of Israeli Jews murdered could constitute a war crime according to a report by the Int’l Criminal Court’s chief prosecutor.

By The Associated Press

 

JERUSALEM — Palestinian officials expressed “great concern” Thursday over a report by the International Criminal Court’s chief prosecutor that includes a warning that Palestinian stipends to attackers and their families could constitute a war crime.

Palestinian Foreign Affairs Minister Riad Malki said the prosecutor’s office’s report was “based on misleading narratives of a political nature … rather than an objective and accurate description of the relevant facts.” Continue Reading »

The KGB and the ORIGINS OF THE PALESTINIAN NARRATIVE

This succinct but articulated chronology of the Palestinian narrative clearly explains why the Palestinian leadership have always bolted from EVERY attempt to end the Israel-Arab conflict, and how, under the tutelage of the KGB, they adopted the invented narrative that the Palestinians are a ‘people’.

When thousands of released KGB documents became available with the collapse of the USSR, the Palestinian leadership panicked.
Now, anti-Zionist activists are trying to keep their real origin from the public, of how the ‘Palestinian People’ were invented by the KGB during the Cold War to disrupt American foreign policy and keep the Mid-East unstable for the expansion of Soviet influence. Continue Reading »

Marc Lamont Hill “erases Mizrahi voices to assert an anti-Israel agenda”

Responding to Hen Mazzig’s LA Times article that Israel is not a country of “privileged and powerful white Europeans,” Marc Lamont Hill excoriates Israel on a twitter post boasting how he knows better, writing, “I literally study Yemeni and Moroccan Jews for a living.”

BY SETH J. FRANTZMAN

 

In a Facebook post on May 20 slamming Hen Mazzig’s article in The LA Times, American academic and activist Marc Lamont Hill described Mizrahi Jews as an “identity category” that had been detached “from Palestinian identity.” CNN severed ties with Hill last year after anti-Israel comments.

Marc Lamont Hill, a Temple University professor who was fired from CNN the following day after his speech to a United Nations panel on Wednesday, Nov.

Amb. Haley tells Arabs, Enough bravado about Palestinians: ‘Put up or shut up’

Being attacked for dropping the US annual contribution to UNRWA from $364 million to $60 million, US Ambassador Nikki Haley blasts Islamic nations for ‘talking big’ from the UN, but loath to support the Palestinians, outing Iran, Tunisia, Algeria who gave UNRWA nothing at all in 2017, with Pakistan and Egypt each giving $20,000.

BY TOVAH LAZAROFF

 

 

US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley took the international community to task for failing to put their money where their mouth is when it comes to support for the Palestinians.

UN member states, in particular the Arab countries, are quick to speak volumes about the Palestinians, but are suddenly absent when it comes to writing a check, Haley told the UN Security Council on Tuesday as it held its monthly meeting on the Middle East in New York. Continue Reading »

Why Arabs hate Palestinians: Their ‘struggle’ has become a rewarding profession

Op-Ed — The Arab world, for all their reasons, has never really been adamant, or even keen about facilitating independence for the Palestinian Arabs, and the Palestinian Arabs don’t actually want a state of their own either (notice how every offer is either ‘unacceptable’, or ‘sabotaged’ by their leaders?), because that would kill the “refugee” goose that lays them ‘golden eggs.’

Why do the Arabs hate the Palestinians so?
By Dr. Mordechai Kedar

 

In Israel, and in much of the Western world, we tend to think that the Arab world is united in support of the Palestinians, that it  wants nothing so much as to solve the Palestinian problem by giving them a state, and that all the Arabs and Muslims love the Palestinians and hate Israel.   Continue Reading »

Palestinians riot after U.S. announcement to open Jerusalem embassy in May

More bluster, bravado & b.s. from the Palestinian leadership:     

  • Senior Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat portrayed U.S. President Donald Trump’s stance on Jerusalem as a ‘violation of international law, [that would] destroy the two-state solution.’

  • Hamas official: U.S. Embassy move “to Jerusalem is a declaration of war against the Arab and Muslim nation.”

By REUTERS

 

RAMALLAH, West Bank/GAZA – Palestinians reacted on Friday with anger to reports that the United States will move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem within months, saying this could destroy the prospect of a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestinian conflict.

Clashes erupted in Gaza and the West Bank earlier on Friday in a weekly protest against US President Donald Trump’s stance on Jerusalem, which has also angered Arab political and religious leaders across the region and dismayed European allies. Continue Reading »

Those who advocate Israel’s destruction are the first to demand Israel save them

 

Apparently, not just the mega-millionaire Palestinian leaders feel the ‘right’ to exploit Israeli hospitals for strictly personal gains: After being badly injured in a car accident, a Palestinian pulled out his gun in order to “persuade” the PA hospital in Jenin to transfer his relative to an Israeli hospital for medical treatment.

By Tsvi Sadan

 

A sense of despair accompanies the experience of watching someone defending Israel. The bias, the ignorance, the post-truth era, makes it nearly impossible to win an argument that favors Israel.

It’s as if in and of itself speaking positively about the Jewish state is illegitimate. Continue Reading »

Palestinian plot to circumvent Trump and Congress at the UN for additional funding

 

With bad press exposing extrajudicial killings in Gaza and Abbas’ ‘Pay for Slay’ to reward those who murder Israelis, Trump and congress are debating funding cuts, but the Arabs have a found a way to do an end-run around Congress and get even more than the $380,593,116 it got in 2015 – by having the UN decide how much.
– BTW, next in line, the EU gave less than half of that to the Palestinians, with a ‘mere’ $136,751,943.

On Friday, the United Nations General Assembly will vote on a resolution to change the way a Palestinian-centered agency is financed. Continue Reading »

Renewed interest of Palestinians seeking Israeli citizenship in Jerusalem

 

Israeli officials: With the path to citizenship having always been open, Interior Ministry notes renewed interest in formal requests, with those applying citing pragmatism as their reason.

By The Associated Press & Israel Hayom Staff

 

More Palestinians in east Jerusalem are applying for Israeli citizenship in hopes of swapping their vulnerable status as mere city residents for the rights and ease of travel that come with an Israeli passport.

But after long touting its offer of citizenship to them, Israel is now dragging its feet in granting it, said those who track Palestinian applicants. Lawyers said their Palestinian clients now wait months for an appointment with the Interior Ministry and an average of three years for a decision. Continue Reading »

A story unknown: Israel’s ‘Afro-Palestinians’

 

Having come to the area as pilgrims & servants from Africa during the British Mandate, now the descendants of those Muslims who migrated to Jerusalem claim to be ‘more Palestinian than the Palestinians.’

By The Associated Press

 

In the shadow of the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem’s Old City lies the “African Quarter” -home to a little-known community of nearly 50 Arab families of African descent.

Descended from Muslim pilgrims from a variety of African countries, they now consider themselves Palestinians, despite widespread poverty and occasional discrimination. Several have even participated in terror attacks against Israel.

With Abbas the least popular in the West Bank, Hamas’ no-State Solution wins

 

Since Abbas’ party is deeply fragmented and his leadership undermined with most Fatah members in Gaza defecting to Hamas and the majority of West Bank Palestinians wanting him out of office, there is no functional gov’t to lead an independent Palestinian state regardless of the antisemitic support given by the US (Obama’s gov’t), the UN and the EU.
