Palestinians can never be held to account

The Palestinian Authority’s Ambassador to the UN, Riyad Mansour, refusing to condemn the brutal jihadi slaughter of three Israelis during their Shabbat dinner. Instead, he preferred to justify the murders, answering a reporter's question by saying that you shouldn't “expect all Palestinians to be angels” and adding “If people think that the Palestinian people are going to live in that situation without any form of resistance to it, that is not realistic and that is not fair.”

I wonder if the institutionally anti-Israel BBC would agree with those sentiments. They certainly didn't report his comments.

Note that it's Jews not Zionists or Israelis that this Palestinan preacher calls for the annihilation of

'Palestinian preacher Ali Abu Ahmad, speaking at an Al-Aqsa Mosque rally, said that the occupation of Palestine by the Jews, the "vilest" and "most despicable and cowardly of creatures," was due to the fall of the Caliphate, and called upon Islamic armies to mobilize their forces "to finish off the monstrous entity of the Jews." His prayers to "annihilate all the Jews," to "destroy the [Palestinian] Authority of shame and disgrace," and to "destroy the rulers of the wicked [Muslim] mini-states" were answered by cries of "amen." A video-clip of the address was posted on the Internet on May 6.

Ali Abu Ahmed: "The cause of the prisoners in the prisons of the occupation is not detached from the cause of the people of Palestine, and the cause of the Islamic nation, the mother of all causes - which is the fact that there is no Caliphate. Indeed, servants of Allah, with the fall of the Caliphate Palestine was occupied by the Jews, the vilest of creatures, and the place of the Prophet's nocturnal journey was defiled, blood was spilled, the honor of women was violated, the elderly were humiliated and the children were killed - by the Jews, the most despicable and cowardly of creatures.

[…]

"Oh armies of the Islamic nation, if you take up arms in order to please your masters and your rulers, know that the rulers of the wicked (Muslim) mini-states have let you down, after they turned toward America and the West. On the other hand, if you take up arms to please Allah - and we believe that this is the reason - your time has come. The time for you to mobilize your armies has arrived, in order to come to the aid of the prisoners, and of the place of the Prophet's nocturnal journey in Palestine, and in order to support Muslims everywhere. It is time for you to mobilize in order to finish off the monstrous entity of the Jews.

[…]

"Oh Allah, destroy the rulers of the wicked (Muslim) mini-states!"

All: "Amen."

Ahmed: "Oh Allah, destroy the (Palestinian) Authority of shame and disgrace!"

All: "Amen."

Ahmed: "Oh Allah, annihilate all the Jews!"

All: "Amen."

Ahmed: "Oh Allah, enable us to kill them!"

 

All: "Amen."

Ahmed: "Oh Allah, bestow upon us the honor of the Caliphate soon!"'

Note that it's Jews not Zionists or Israelis that this Hamas cleric refers to

The BBC and others would have you believe that the Palestinians and indeed Muslims in general hate Jews because of Israel. This is bullshit, in reality they hate Israel because of the Jews.

Here's a transcript of a Friday sermon delivered in Gaza by Hamas MP, Marwan Abu Ras in which he said that "the Jews were the most abhorred of people," and that "we can never accept the Jews, even if it costs us our blood and souls".

'Hamas MP Marwan Abu Ras delivered a Friday sermon in Gaza, in which he said that throughout history, "the Jews were the most abhorred of people," and that Hitler hated the Jews "because they are a people of treachery and betrayal." Criticizing PA President Mahmoud Abbas, who "places his people under siege in order to please the Jews," Abu Ras said: "We strive to liberate Palestine in its entirety,... from Ras Al-Naqoura [Rosh Ha-Niqra] to Umm Al-Rashrash [Eilat]." The sermon was posted on the Internet on April 21.

Marwan Abu Ras: History attests that in every era, the Jews were the most abhorred of people. Throughout history, the most hated race was the Jewish race.

[…]

There is no race that people hate as much as the Jewish race. In the modern era, when Hitler emerged - even though he was a criminal and a tyrant - the people he hated the most were the Jews. Why did he hate the Jews? Because they are a people of treachery and betrayal.

[…]

Therefore, we can never accept the Jews, even if it costs us our blood and souls. Anyone who accepts the Jews should prepare for the Day of Gathering [Judgment Day], because he will be gathered along with Rabin, his beloved Peres, and Sharon. [Mahmoud Abbas] used to inquire about the wellbeing even of [Sharon's] goats. Our president once said to Sharon: "I recall that on my last visit [to your farm], you had a sick goat. How is it doing? I hope that Allah has cured it." He used to inquire about the wellbeing of Sharon's goats, and now he places his people under siege in order to please the Jews.

He issues grave threats against Gaza. What crime did Gaza commit? Gaza is steadfast. Is that a crime? Gaza wants to live in glory and honor. Is that a crime? Gaza wants to conduct resistance against the Jews and to cling to its weapons. Is that a crime? Gaza wants to make its people and the Arab and Islamic nations proud. Is that a crime? If Gaza committed these crimes, we are proud of these crimes, we are honored to commit them and we will keep on committing them. We will hang onto our weapons and never give them up, because they are our honor and glory and they are what enrages our enemy. If someone is enraged by the weapons of our resistance, that can mean one thing only: He is on the side of our enemy. He is our enemy. He hates us just like our enemies hate us.

[…]

We do not strive to defend Gaza alone. We strive to liberate Palestine in its entirety, from Safed... Sorry, I mean Ras Al-Naqoura [Rosh Ha-Niqra], to Umm Al-Rashrash [Eilat]. That is Palestine. It will return to the folds of the Arab and Islamic nation.'

Thanks to the BBC, from the Palestinian people, for hiding the truth about Hamas.

I wonder what Jeremy Corbyn thinks of such statements from his Hamas 'friends'. I doubt that the institutionally anti-Israel BBC will ever raise the question with Jeremy Corbyn.

Palestinian heroism?

PA TV Host and Released Terrorist, Murderer of 16 People, Reminisce about the Days of the Intifada

Baydaa' Mu'ammar, a host on the official Palestinian Authority TV channel, interviewed terrorist Abd Al-Hadi Ghneim, who in 1989 forced a bus traveling from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem into a ravine, killing 16 people, and who was released in the Gilad Shalit prisoner swap. Mu'ammar said that "we long for the days of the Intifada" and told Ghneim that "we always salute this heroic role." The interview aired on May 22.

Baydaa' Mu'ammar: "Today, as the (prisoners' hunger) strike is escalating, we long for the days of the Intifada, the days of the revolution, when the Palestinian people were fighting for freedom, in order to put an end to settlements... They were fighting against the occupation, which exists to this day. Why is today different than those days? We hold in esteem any effort taken by our Palestinian people, but we want more from them."

Abd Al-Hadi Ghneim: "Yes, you are taking me back to the days of the 1987 Intifada, in which I was active one way or another. In the attack that I carried out - the bus 405 attack - 16 Zionists died and 24 were wounded.

[...]

"I was captured after the attack, and I was treated [medically] and all that. I spent 22.5 years (in prison)."

Baydaa' Mu'ammar: "We always salute this heroic role."

Thanks to MEMRI for this one.

Those peaceful Palestininas (part 2 - The brainwashed kindergarten children)

It's that time of year, Gaza kindergarten graduation display time.

'In a graduation ceremony at the Al-Hoda Islamic Kindergarten in Gaza, pre-schoolers, wearing uniforms and carrying mock guns and posters of Islamic Jihad leaders, staged a display of terror attacks against Israelis. The footage, which was posted on the kindergarten's YouTube channel on May 29, includes Hebrew lyrics threatening Israelis with missiles and terror attacks and mocking IDF soldier Oron Shaul, whose body has been held by Hamas since 2014.'

For similar displays, see https://www.memri.org/tv/terror-show-gaza-kindergarten-graduation-ceremony-islamic-jihad-leader-israelis-we-are-not and https://www.memri.org/tv/pre-schoolers-toy-guns-parade-west-bank-kindergarten-graduation-ceremony. The ceremony is held annually at the Al-Hoda kindergarten, which is affiliated with the Islamic Jihad. Omar Fora, the head of the kindergarten association and a leader of the Islamic Jihad, delivered an address, and Islamic cleric Taher Al-Lulu slammed Saudi Arabia for "standing behind Israel and America."

Fired for helping a Jew

'A Palestinian man who saved the children of a West Bank rabbi after a deadly terror attack that killed him has been fired from his job, according to the head of Har Hevron Regional Council.'

Delivering aid to Gaza

'The World Bank is keeping track of how the nations that have pledged to rebuild Gaza after Operation Protective Edge have been keeping their promises.

It finds that only 40% of the pledges  - $1.4 billion out of pledges of $3.5 billion - have been paid so far, two years after the war.

However, if you break down the numbers by Muslim-majority countries and all others, an interesting pattern emerges.

Non-Muslim countries and NGOs pledged about $1.4 billion and so far paid about $1 billion, about 71% of their pledges.

Muslim nations pledged the bulk of the money meant to rebuild Gaza - $2.1 billion - but have paid only $360 million, which is only about 16.5% of what they pledged.

Qatar pledged a whopping billion dollars to rebuild Gaza - and has paid only $150 million of it.

Saudi Arabia paid only about 10% of its $500 million pledge.

Kuwait, which pledged $200 million, has not paid a dime.

Even Turkey, supposedly Gaza's best friend, has only paid 32% of its $200 million pledge.

We've seen this pattern many times before when Arab and Muslim nations pledged huge amounts of money to Palestinians and simply didn't pay up.

Arab nations paid only 21% of what they pledged at the Paris Donors Conference in December 2007.

In 2010, an Arab conference to help make Jerusalem an Arab city resulted in $500 million of pledges - of which only 7% was paid.

The Arab League committed to providing 7.7% of UNRWA's annual budget. As of 2010, they were only paying 1.5%.'

There's plenty more about this here at Elder or Ziyon but not of course on the institutionally anti Israel BBC where protecting the Palestinians and Muslim states from criticism is oh so important.

Must Jews literally be likened to Satan for UK media to note Palestinian antisemitism? Oh wait… per UK Media Watch

UK Media Watch reports:

 

'PMW explained that presenting Jews as agents of Satan who bring evil into the world is "a part of the PA's religious ideology", and noted that Abbas' advisor on Islam recently stressed that PA ideology views the conflict with Israel as "a conflict with Satan". 

Further, a poem teaching that "Zion, is Satan with a tail" has been recited by Palestinian children six times in recent years on official PA TV, most recently in 2015.'

You won't read anything about this on the institutionally anti Israel BBC.

Incitement to murder on the record but the BBC won't report it as it's against Israelis

'When asked what he thought about normalization with Israel and Palestinian officials taking part in Israeli conferences, Abu al-Einein said: "If you ask me my blunt position, I would say — every place you find an Israeli, slit his throat. Likewise, I am against talks, negotiations, meetings, and normalization in all its forms with the Israeli occupation."'

Mahmoud Abbas retracts his blood libel

'Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on Saturday morning retracted accusations that Israeli rabbis had called for the poisoning of Palestinian wells.

The PA president had made the unsubstantiated charge in an address Thursday to the European Parliament, prompting harsh condemnation from Israel, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accusing Abbas of propagating blood libel, referring to anti-Semitic allegations against Jews that arose in the Middle Ages.

The retraction, which was issued by the Palestine Liberation Organization, which Abbas chairs, said Abbas "rejected all claims that accuse him and the Palestinian people of offending the Jewish religion."'

More here at JPost but obviously not on the institutionally anti Israel BBC who didn't report the blood libel in the first place.

Humungus Fail Of The Day: Abbas’ Zionist Gift To Saudi King by Aussie Dave per Israellycool

Of interest to the institutionally anti Israel BBC? Of course not.

The voice of the Palestinians that the institutionally anti Israel BBC won't report

'A former Palestinian official cited the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a forged text produced in Russia at the turn of the last century that purports to outline Jewish plans to take over the world, as proof that the world economy was controlled by Jews.

"Global Judaism, which controls the world's financial markets, constitutes a virus and a plague which strikes at the entire world," said Dr. Fouad Bseiso, the former governor of the Palestinian Monetary Authority, according to a translation provided by the Middle East Media Research Institute.'

More here http://www.timesofisrael.com/former-pa-official-global-judaism-is-a-virus-a-plague/ but certainly not on the institutionally anti Israel BBC where the Palestinians' true feelings about Jews are not to be revealed to the public lest they realise that the Palestinians are not the cuddly bunnies that the BBC like to portray them as.

EU supporting settlements in Palestine

A British Conservative MP recently said this about settlement building in Palestine being funded by the EU:

'The EU should comply with the law. It should not be meddling in the Middle East, then hiding behind some dodgy use of diplomatic immunity,'. 

'This is a gross waste of taxpayers' money. It's another example of money given to the EU over which Parliament has no real oversight.  

'The British electorate is contributing to this but we are completely unaware of how it's being spent. We don't know who is spending this, and we can't vote them out.' 

He added: 'No wonder the EU think they're above the law. They are untouchable.' 

Mr Percy also expressed serious concerns that the EU is 'undermining the Oslo Accords' and 'damaging attempts at peace' in the Middle East. 'Not only is it a waste of taxpayers' money, it is morally questionable,'

Right up the institutionally anti Israel BBC's street you would have thought, they'll be right on this. 

Oddly the BBC haven't reported this though.

For the reason visit http://isthebbcbiased.blogspot.co.uk/2016/03/eu-meddle-muddle.html Is The BBC Biased.

Music video incites Palestinians to blow up Jews in buses

This conclusion is from Elder Of Ziyon

'Make no mistake - the vast majority of Palestinians support the depraved message of videos like this, both explicitly and implicitly, by refusing to say a single negative word about them. And that is a message that Western media and politicians simply refuse to acknowledge.'

You can read the whole piece and see the music video here http://elderofziyon.blogspot.co.il/2016/02/music-video-incites-palestinians-to.html but you won't see or hear anything about this on the institutionally anti Israel BBC.

Brainwashing of Palestinian children sickens me

Gaza University Dean of Quranic Studies Approves Killing Jewish Women and Children

Dr. Subhi Al-Yaziji, Dean of Quranic Studies at the Islamic University of Gaza, recently said: "All Jews in Palestine today are fair game - even the women." "Every single Jew in Palestine is a combatant, even the children," he said. In the Hamas Al-Aqsa TV interview, aired on October 16, 2015, Al-Yaziji further said that terror attacks "should be carried out in the very heart of the enemy - in Haifa, Jaffa, Tel Aviv, and Hadera."

Something that the institutionally anti Israel BBC will not report.

That reminds me - another Palestinian mother

Yesterday's post reminded me of some video that I have posted previously. It's of another Palestinian mother, this time one whose young son had a heart complaint and was treated free of charge in an Israeli hospital. Watch the whole video, see how she is amazed by the generosity of the Jewish people bringing presents and giving to all patients whether Jewish or Muslim but also...




Please explain how Israel can make peace with people who can have their child treated in an Israeli hospital but also say that:
"Death is natural for us, we're not afraid to die"
"It's a religious thing. It's heresy to say that Jerusalem isn't ours."
"Life is precious but not to us. We feel that life is nothing. Life isn't worth a thing. That's why we have suicide bombers. They're not afraid to die, it's natural."
"We cry out in joy and celebrate when someone becomes a shahid (martyr)"
"Life isn't precious"

Israel, Jews, and Judaism: The entire bogus history of Palestinian Arab nationalism exposed by a stamp

http://linkis.com/blogspot.co.il/lcNGL

Do read the whole article, you can learn a lot from a stamp, if you are willing to keep your mind open.

This is the sort of article that journalists at the institutionally anti Israel BBC should be made to read, that MPs current and past like Richard Burden, Lynn Jones and Gerald Kaufman should be questioned about when they make their claims of Palestinian sovereignty, and that every pro Palestinian/anti Israel campaigner should be made to read as well.
