British Prime Minister Liz Truss is facing a smear campaign by the Palestinians because she dared to publicly state her support for Israel. The defamation campaign is yet another sign of the ongoing radicalization of Palestinians not only against Israel, but anyone who dares to say a good word about Israel.

- ,The defamation campaign against the British prime minister is yet another sign of the ongoing radicalization of Palestinians not only against Israel, but anyone who dares to say a good word about Israel. This radicalization is the result of the massive campaign by Palestinian officials and media outlets to delegitimize Israel and demonize Jews.
- The campaign coincides with the Palestinian leaders’ continued talk about their commitment to the so-called two-state solution.
- If the Palestinian leaders are so committed to the “two-state solution,” they should cease and desist from their lethal incitement against Israel.
- It is this campaign of hate that is the real obstacle for peace between Israel and the Palestinians. For many years, the Western countries that fund the Palestinians have utterly ignored Palestinian incitement against Israel.
- Now, as is evident from the attacks on the British prime minister, Western leaders are themselves becoming victims of the Palestinians’ smear campaigns. This is what happens when Western governments lavish untold millions of dollars on the Palestinians without requiring accountability and without demanding an end to the venomous Palestinian rhetoric against Israel and Jews.
British Prime Minister Liz Truss is facing a smear campaign by the Palestinians because she dared to publicly state her support for Israel. Truss is also under attack because she talked about the possibility of moving the British Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
The campaign against the British PM is reminiscent of the slander the Palestinians used to direct against some of US President Donald Trump’s senior advisers and representatives, including Ambassador David Friedman, Jason Greenblatt and Jared Kushner. Like Truss, the Trump administration officials were targeted because of their support for Israel.
Palestinian leaders have demonstrated over the years that they do not hesitate to use slurs and derogatory remarks against any Western official who dares to voice support for Israel or does not share their hatred of Israel. For these leaders, anyone who articulates support for Israel is a “racist” and “extremist.”
PA leaders said that anyone who supports Israel and doesn’t “share their hatred of Israel” is a racist. Sounds like they just called the Creator of Heaven and Earth a racist.
Reminds me of what the N.T. said, Jesus said; If your not for me your again me. It is understood by the Rabbi’s that “God Torah and Israel are one”.
