Abbas claims he doesn’t support violence – yet his Fatah and PA have been openly calling nonstop to murder Jews with knives and rocks.
Palestinian Authority (PA) Mahmoud Abbas has taken pains to tell the West that he only supports “peaceful resistance,” an ongoing wave of calls for terrorism and the murder of Jews by his Fatah faction and his PA government show there is nothing “peaceful” about his vision.
In order to illustrate the depths of the murderous incitement covering the pages of official PA and Fatah media in recent days, Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) on Thursday revealed a retrospective of the incitement since the upswing in attacks began at the start of the month.
The first example shows a Jew screaming in pain with a knife colored according to the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) flag stabbed into his shoulder. The cartoon was posted on the official Facebook page of Abbas’s Fatah faction in early October, at the start of the current wave of attacks.
The background shows the Al-Aqsa Mosque and Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, which has served a key role in Abbas’s incitement, and the text reads, “here is Jerusalem, you crazies, beware!” Incidentally, “here” in Hebrew was misspelled in the post.
Just a few days after the cartoon, and after four Jews had been murdered in shooting and stabbing attacks, Fatah Central Committee member Abbas Zaki justified the unprovoked attacks on civilians to the Turkish Anadolu Agency, in an interview posted on Fatah’s European Information and Culture Commission website.
“We are defending ourselves today, and will continue to defend ourselves. We are not in favor of escalation. However, the occupation is the one that kills, destroys, and attacks our cities and villages. Of course the defense differs from Palestinian to Palestinian, and there are some among us who defend with a rock, and those who defend with a knife,” said Zaki.
Regarding rocks, there have been a bevy of cartoons urging Palestinian Arabs to throw the often lethal projectiles at Jews and Jewish motorists.
One cartoon published in the official PA paper Al-Hayat Al-Jadida this Sunday shows three children smiling and hurling rocks with slingshots. On the security barrier behind them is written in Arabic: “we will return again” and “Palestine.”
Yet another cartoon in the PA paper from earlier in the month shows an IDF soldier mockingly caricaturized as he is pummeled by a hail of rocks, accompanied by the text: “winter has returned…”
The incitement was far from limited to the official PA paper. In the Palestinian Arab Al-Ayyam paper, a cartoon was seen last week portraying an entire Arab family of terrorists ready to attack with rocks in their hands.
“The rocks of 2015!,” reads the text above the cartoon, while on the man’s arm is written “Allah is with you, Abu Al-Abed,” in reference to the name of a cartooncharacter. Accompanying the text on his arm is a blue tattoo of a map including all of Israel, from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea.
Switching back to the official PA daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, PMW revealed acartoon in the image of a PLO flag, in which the flag’s triangle is presented as a sharp tip aimed at a bleeding IDF soldier. Various means of “resistance” are depicted, including music, painting, and funeral processions, but presented in prime po?sition at the forefront is rock throwing.
The PA paper also presented a picture of a boy throwing a rock at a bell, possibly indicating a call for more rock attacks so as to cause a noise and attract attention.
These numerous examples of incitement, which have accompanied the murder of ten victims in Israel since the start of the month and the wounding of countless others, are only a few prime selections.
Another key specimen was seen last week, when Fatah demanded more attacks just a day before two separate attacks in Jerusalem that left three Jews murdered.
The recent spate of incitement and terror follows Abbas’s call last month for violence to stop “filthy” Jews from visiting the Temple Mount, the holiest site in Judaism, which came amid his praise of “blood spilled for Allah.”
Abbas effectively canceled the 1994 Oslo Accords at the UN the day before the October 1 murder of Rabbi Eitam and Naama Henkin in front of their four young children, the first high-level attack which opened the current wave of terror.
@ dove:
Netanyahu? He is only a puppet. A tragic caricature of a leader. Keeping that element up there is suicidal.
@ bernard ross:
This is insane! The Palestinians have been on a rampage – killing Jews and the Jewish state is suppose to grovel.
Where are your balls BB? Put the onus back where it belongs! It is quite simple. Why can’t he do that????
muslim terrorists burn jewish toddler so BB solution is to ease age restrictions and reduce checkpoints to ease muslim convenience and “ease tensions”. So BB has subscribed to the obama-kerry narrative that the muslim terror attacks are just a matter of tension and therefor NO PROACTIVE MEASURES to capture and liquidate the sources of anti semitism in the muslim mosques and schools is underataken, no house to house searches of the terror dens? Jews burn, jews attacked and BB eases muslim tensions and anger. the mufti story cannot be the substitute for continuing to allow muslim attacks on jews to go unanswered.
When BB trots out his great victory of maintaining the status quo let us remember that it is that status quo under which BB allowed repeated anti semitic attacks on Jews at the Mount, in Jerusalem and in YS. The only action we saw was the massive mobilization to enact anti settler law and incarcerate Jews. When jews burn it is merely everyday life in a Jewish state, run by Jews that allow the same anti semitic attacks that Jews thought they left in europe. There is no difference between muslim attacks on Jews in france and muslim attacks on Jews in Israel.
the only solution is to enact and enforce severe anti semitism laws in israel…. it should include mandatory stripping of residency, citizenship and deportation. This will deal with anti semitic muslim mk’s as well as the pa arabs.
But then can the jews even agree on a goal to rid the jewish nation of anti semites??????
“We are an_gry! We are very an_gry”! CBC broadcasts this quip of wisdom and Je_w-ha_tred occasionally. I’ think I’ve heard this phrase from the Islamic Department of Pro_paganda for over a decade.
“We are an_gry.”
That’s it. CBC thinks that is self-explanatory – no context needed.
Somehow the message is that they are justified and mo_rally right – the Je_ws should just stop making them an_gry. What’s wrong with those Je_ws? Why are they making these poor pa_ls so very an_gry.
The Israelis aren’t doing anything to them they just need to stop practicing Jih_ad and stop making themselves an_gry.
I heard the mother of one of these k_illed would be sta_bbers say “It would have been worth it if it had ended the “occ_upation” (codeword for ex_terminate the Israelis),
So why doesn’t the Western MSM tell the full truth instead of a half-truth which is a de_ceit?
Eh?
They shouldn’t just broadcast a sound byte without explaining to the public that the Pals are practicing Jihad and the propaganda system which de_monizes Israel is what makes them an_gry. They create that propaganda system themselves of their own free will.
…
I recommend a good anti-psy_chotic drug, We had a bus-stab_ber here in Canada – he was probably very ang_ry as well – he’s now under psych_iatrist care doped up with anti-ps_ychotic dr_ugs. The solution is to send the Pals a boatload of anti-ps_ychotics – they need to line up en masse and daily take their me_ds I would suggest abilify – about 100 mg daily. That should do the tr_ick.
In a civilized society we put vio__lent ang_gry people under psy_chiatric care. But do the Pals have enough psych_iatrists or did Hamas k_ill them all?
I suggest it’s time to outlaw Palestinian Arab inbreeding. It didn’t do Hitler any good, and it helps to foster the next generation of anti-Semitic sociopaths among the Pals.
@ bernard ross:
Thank you. I did sent it to Ted.
@ mar55:
sorry, the only graphic i know how to paste is you tube. You should write to TEDs email address.
@ bernard ross:
I have been trying to put here a political cartoon I got this morning about Merkel and one of the Saudi’s princes and it does not show with copy and paste. Could you guide me in how to put it here?
@ babushka:
RIGHT ON!
@ bernard ross:
I agree with all you and babushka said. Bomb the mosque and the PA headquarters and since you are at it bomb Abass’s
house also. No need to make more than one trip. The same plane can accomplish everything.
When something like that happens, everyone stops complaining and doing anything against Israel. The message is clear: We do not take BS from anyone.
What Israel needs is someone with bemoles.
@ babushka:
May I sharpen it? Please! 🙂
I did not read past this first sentence because if I were prime minister I need no more info. The tolerance for the advocacy of the murder of Jews is scandalous and despicable for any Jewish gov. The immediate incarceration, or shooting while resisting arrest, is what should be taking place right now for fatah leaders. Even in A & B such calls should be met by extra jusicial execution. The muslim arabs must see anti semitism as a red line which results in death and destruction.
It appears that “never again” is a blowhard empty term only used by jews to pull the coattails of euro bullshitters at fake holocaust memorials while they fund jews killers and build muslim homes in judeas samaria illegally. To me “never again” means simply to kill the anti semite before he has the power to kill the jews.
When such incitements take place, fatah homes and offices should be bombed, death is the only correct response to advocating jew killing, anything less is nauseating. It is insane that Israel allows any such advocacy to be unmet with execution west of the Jordan river. The same for the gaza mosque where the imam called for killing jews: a plane should have been sent to completely demolish the mosque, and all within, and when the world protested the answer should be that Israel has zero tolerance for anti semites wherever they reside. This should be written in Israel law. This reaction would put the world on notice that israel has the right to take the law into its own hands where anti semites are concerned.
Less bullshit, less stalling, more killing of anti semites is what is required. That is the best answer to the criticism that Israel uses too much force on terrorists.
@SHmuel
If the Palis would just limit themselves to stabbing those Jews who support The Two State Solution!, I would provide the cutlery.
Now you got me all confused again!
Rabin, Peres, Barak the self appointed judge and his gang, Beilin and his troupe, Ben Ami, Aloni, Sarid, Sharon and family, etc, imported and armed Arafat and his jolly monsters and told us that they Islamic degenerate barbarians are “partners for peace”. To prove that, the above offered tens of thousands of “victims of peace” as painful sacrifices.
They must have been uninformed, but then again they had the Mosad telling them the truth.
So could have possibly have motivated the above and other such elements to persist on their “partnership”…
I wonder…
Perhaps NEW and freely elected courts can find out and solve the mystery…
Ah? Right.
