The European Union (EU) Parliament has passed a resolution denouncing antisemitism in textbooks issued by the Palestinian Authority (PA).
Approved on the Dec. 14, the resolution cited “hatred, incitement to violence, and antisemitism” in textbooks given to hundreds of thousands of students as being in tension with European values and a “key impediment to the resolution of the conflict.”
“All schoolbooks and school materials funded by Union funds must be in line with [United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization] standards of peace, tolerance, coexistence and non-violence,” it added. “[The European Parliament]…strongly condemns the hate speech, violence, and antisemitism that continue to be found on Palestinian Authority education curricula.”
A review of the Palestinian Territories education system by Israeli education watchdog Impact-se, which was released in July, found that the UNRWA provided curriculum describes Jews as “impure and inherently treacherous” and teaches that murdering Israelis leads to glory and martyrdom. The findings were made after UNRWA’s maintaining several times that antisemitism was purged from Palestinian schools.

The messages about a Palestinian killed last night being sent to the West and for internal consumption are quite different.
Under the Oslo Accords, Jews should have free access to Joseph's Tomb in Shechem (Nablus), but because the PA refuses to follow the agreement, every few weeks scores of Jews visit the tomb in the middle of the night - so as to minimize any impact on area residents - and they are protected by IDF soldiers from the Palestinians who want to stop them from praying.
Make no mistake: the Palestinian opposition to Jews visiting Nablus is pure Jew-hatred. The religious Jews are not coming to build a settlement or to evict Arabs from their homes - they just want to pray and then to go home.
Overnight, Israeli forces protecting the worshipers came under heavy gunfire from the antisemites who hate the idea of Jews visiting a holy spot that existed way before anyone ever heard of "Palestinians." They fired back, injuring several of the militants. One, Ahmed Atef Daraghmeh, died.
Keep in mind that this happened the middle of the night. The only reason anyone would be outside the tomb at the time was to confront and try to block the Jews from worshipping.
Now, as is so often the case, the messages that the Palestinians send to the world are completely different than the ones they tell themselves.
Palestinian prime minister Mohamed Shtayyeh sent a formal complaint to FIFA, demanding that they condemn Israel's "assassination" of Daraghmeh - because he was a member of the Thaqafi Tulkarm football team. Shtayyeh is telling the West that Daraghmeh was an innocent person who was deliberately targeted and murdered by Israel.
At the exact same time, Hamas media is referring to Daraghmeh as a "mujahid martyr":
Daraghmeh lived in Tubas, some 20 kilometers away - meaning that he specifically traveled there just to try to stop Jews from worshiping at their holy site. And as such, he is now a hero.
But good luck seeing any Palestinian or Arab media mention that in English.

In a statement today, Thursday, the movement confirmed that the martyrdom of the Mujahid Daraghmeh in the field of pride and honor while he was defending our people sends a message to the brutal enemy that he will not pass safely and our people are alert and ready to respond to the call of the homeland, and that the settlers who brag about storming Nablus with the protection of the occupation forces will find In their faces only bullets.
Daraghmeh lived in Tubas, some 20 kilometers away - meaning that he specifically traveled there just to try to stop Jews from worshiping at their holy site. And as such, he is now a hero.

Hamas says he was a "mujahid" trying to stop Jews from prayer. The PA calls him a "soccer player" who was "assassinated."

Every so often, “activist” Sami Al-Arian emerges to opine on some domestic issue, reminding us of two things: He’s an inveterate liar who continues to whitewash his years of service to Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), and a disappointing number of American academics are willing to ignore that record and treat him as a credible voice.
Al-Arian joined academics and attorneys last Wednesday for a webinar on “Global War on Terrorism and Its Impact on Muslim Charitable Institutions.” It was sponsored by the Muslim Legal Fund of America (MLFA) in collaboration with Indiana University’s McKinney School of Law and its Muslim Philanthropy Initiative.
MLFA’s willingness to elevate Al-Arian is at least consistent. It helped fund his defense against terrorism-related charges and criminal contempt. But why did two Indiana University branches see merit in lending their school’s prestige to a man recorded exhorting an audience “Jihad is our path … Victory to Islam … Death to Israel”?
Al-Arian meant it literally, telling a 2020 academic meeting that the Muslim world “cannot realize its full potential without defeating and dismantling the Zionist project.”
No one on the MLFA/IU panel mentioned Al-Arian’s documented role on the PIJ shura council, or governing board, let alone the many times he publicly lied by denying any connection to the terrorist group.

Haaretz, an influential Israeli media outlet whose name means “Land [of Israel],” has published a stylized map of “Palestine” erasing Israel.
The Dec. 19 article, “How ‘Baladi’ Became the Star of Israeli Cuisine and a Key to Palestinian Identity and Resistance,” (and in the Dec. 16 weekend print edition) includes an illustrated map of Israel and the Palestinian territories prepared by the Sarendib NGO which expunges Israel, referring only to “Palestine.” Haaretz‘s own caption uncritically adopted the organization’s erasure of Israel, initially stating: “A map showing baladi produce in Palestine by Sarendib, a Palestinian educational NGO based in Haifa.Credit: Sarendib 2022″
CAMERA’s Israel office reached out to Haaretz, urging either revision of the caption to correctly refer to Israel and the Palestinian territories, or clear designation of Sarendib’s terminology as problematic given that it erases Israel off the map.
Editors made a completely inconsequential edit to the digital version, adding scare quotes to the word “map,” as if that made the complete erasure of Israel any more acceptable. As one CAMERA Arabic researcher quipped, “Map is the one word that should not get air quotes, unlike ‘Palestine,’ ‘Palestinian’ and ‘educational,’ and probably also ‘NGO.'”
When CAMERA Arabic previously called out BBC Arabic for promoting a very similar Sarendib mapfeaturing Palestine from the river to the sea, the British news outlet subsequently pulled its promotional feature, demonstrating more accountability than Haaretz on the same issue.
In 2020, CAMERA Arabic wrote about Vogue Arabia‘s laudatory piece on an “artistic” map erasing Israel:
Indeed, Sarendib founder Malsam Arafat and her husband Omar Asi are quite open about their maps’ intentions. They explain (in Arabic 16:16) that the maps they create are deliberately “without occupation” (i.e., without Israel or Jews). Asi insists that it is important to present Palestine that way “even to children … the child sees that it is all Palestine.” The host continues: “[Palestine] as it was and as it must become,” to which Asi replies “exactly.”
At 9:24, Asi recounts that the food he chose to represent Jerusalem in the map which BBC Arabic later removed is a reference to a book by Hamas mass murderer Abdullah Barghouthi, a choice he hopes will expose children to “Palestinian prison literature.”
Sarendib’s maps apparently exceeded all expectations, not only roping in impressionable Palestinian youth, but also snagging a century-old institution, Zionist in name if not content.
With research and translation by CAMERA Arabic.

The same can be said of a map bursting with succulent, indigenous produce, even one published by “The Land of Israel” newspaper.A map labelled “Palestine,” covering Israel, the West Bank and Gaza, is hateful and incites violence, no matter how many flowers bloom upon it. Such maps express a desire to eliminate the state of Israel, depriving its Jewish people of their right of self determination, meaning a sovereign, peaceful and prosperous life in their ancestral homeland. Even if [Turkish artist Adige] Batur’s vision for the elimination of the state of Israel would allow for some Jews to remain in “Palestine,” his artistic erasure of everything Jewish indicates a desire to assimilate the Jews of Israel and their communities into a hostile Arab environment that historically has shown little tolerance towards Jews and other minorities.

[ EU interference in Judea and Samaria is nothing new. And PLEASE, stop calling it the West Bank, which it was for only 19 years . Do something concrete, already ! ]
An Israeli organization consisting of more than 16,000 former military, security, and police officers called the revelation that the European Union is working on a Palestinian takeover of Area C of the West Bank “an act of blatant hostility and aggression.”
In an open letter sent Wednesday from the Israel Defense and Security Forum (IDSF) and addressed to Dimiter Tzantchev, head of the EU delegation to the State of Israel, the NGO slammed the EU for its confidential policy document revealed by media outlets on Tuesday.
The EU policy document gives an overview of the EU’s policy toward Area C, which is administered by Israel. The document shows that the EU is working with the Palestinian Authority on making Area C a part of a future Palestinian state. The EU criticizes Israeli policies of building in Area C, which the Israeli government calls by its biblical name, Judea and Samaria.
“According to our professional understanding of national security, the dominant terrain of Judea and Samaria in Area C is key strategic terrain that controls or can threaten most of the modern State of Israel’s infrastructure and strategic assets,” the letter stated. “The EU’s reported clandestine activity to undermine Israeli control in Area C and to advance illegal Palestinian development in those areas constitutes a clear and present threat to the security of the State of Israel, and is an act of blatant hostility and aggression.”

[ Excuse the capital letters. That is how it came out ]
Spot the difference. Two wire services covered the mass funeral of eight young Palestinians who drowned off the coast of Tunisia nearly two months ago, as they tried to escape Gaza for new lives in Europe.
Dealing with Gaza’s undoubted hardships, Reuters went for the same tired old explanation: blame Israel. Indeed, Hamas, the terrorist organization that rules over the Gaza Strip, is not mentioned once in the entire story:
EVEN IF REUTERS’ REPORTER FAILED TO FIND ANYONE PREPARED TO CRITICIZE HAMAS, THE LEAST HE COULD DO WAS ADD THE RELEVANT CONTEXT CONCERNING THE REASONS BEHIND THE ISRAELI/EGYPTIAN BLOCKADE, AND HAMAS’ RESPONSIBILITY FOR GOVERNING THE GAZA STRIP.
SOMETIMES IT’S ONLY WHEN ONE MEDIA OUTLET INCLUDES THE CONTEXT THAT IT BECOMES OBVIOUS WHAT ANOTHER HAS MISSED. IN THIS PARTICULAR CASE, REUTERS HAS CLEARLY FAILED.

ACCORDING TO THE WORLD BANK, UNEMPLOYMENT IN GAZA RUNS AT ABOUT 50% AND MORE THAN HALF ITS POPULATION LIVES IN POVERTY.”
‘THE GOVERNMENT THAT GOVERNS US HERE IS THE REASON. IT’S TO BLAME. IT’S TO BLAME,’ SAID NAHEEL SHAATH, WHOSE 21-YEAR-OLD SON ADAM WAS AMONG THE DEAD. ‘I BLAME ALL OFFICIALS HERE WHO DON’T CARE FOR THE YOUTHS OR PROVIDE JOB OPPORTUNITIES FOR THEM.’
ISRAEL AND EGYPT IMPOSED THE BLOCKADE AFTER HAMAS SEIZED CONTROL OF GAZA FROM THE INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY IN 2007.
ISRAEL SAYS THE CLOSURE, WHICH RESTRICTS THE MOVEMENT OF PEOPLE AND GOODS IN AND OUT OF THE TERRITORY, IS NEEDED TO PREVENT HAMAS FROM ARMING ITSELF. ISRAEL AND ITS WESTERN ALLIES HAVE BRANDED HAMAS, AN ISLAMIC GROUP SWORN TO ISRAEL’S DESTRUCTION, A TERRORIST GROUP. CRITICS SAY THE BLOCKADE AMOUNTS TO COLLECTIVE PUNISHMENT.
THE BLOCKADE HAS STIFLED THE ECONOMY OF GAZA, WHERE UNEMPLOYMENT HOVERS NEAR 50%, AND RESIDENTS ARE USUALLY QUICK TO BLAME ISRAEL FOR THE DIFFICULT CONDITIONS. BUT INCREASINGLY, FAMILIES HAVE BEGUN TO COMPLAIN ABOUT HAMAS’ LEADERSHIP, CITING THE HIGH TAXES, ITS HEAVY-HANDED RULE AND A GROWING STREAM OF LEADERS, INCLUDING ITS SUPREME LEADER ISMAIL HANIYEH, WHO HAVE MOVED ABROAD TO MORE COMFORTABLE PLACES WITH THEIR FAMILIES.”

The statement looks like it was dictated by the Palestinians themselves.
Reading between the lines, the committee clearly knows that Palestinians torture prisoners and also do not do much to protect women victims of violence. But the statement is organized in a way to sweep those concerns under the rug, just asking for clarification so the PA can lie its way out of any embarrassing situation.
It would be comical if it wasn't real:
It is impossible to read this without realizing what a whitewash it is. And the reason is because they want the world to think that Israel is the worst human rights violator, and no one wants to compare Palestinian prison conditions with Israel's.
Naturally, the UN's "experts" are not nearly as fawning when they talk about Israel's alleged torture.
I found this while looking for statistics on deaths in Palestinian prisons, or indeed any statistics on Palestinian prisons - how many prisoners, their conditions, anything. The PA simply doesn't publish any such information and as far as I can tell, no NGO bothers to compile this information themselves.
Because without the information, no one knows how bad things sre.

Reading between the lines, the committee clearly knows that Palestinians torture prisoners and also do not do much to protect women victims of violence. But the statement is organized in a way to sweep those concerns under the rug, just asking for clarification so the PA can lie its way out of any embarrassing situation.
It would be comical if it wasn't real:
The Committee against Torture today concluded its consideration of the initial report of the State of Palestine, with Committee Experts praising the State of Palestine’s support for female victims of violence and raising questions about conditions in detention centres and the lack of legislation defining and prohibiting torture.
Naoko Maeda, Committee Expert and Country Co-Rapporteur, said that a special unit and support network had been established to provide support services and shelter for female victims of violence. These were commendable developments. Ms. Maeda noted, however, that gender-based violence and discrimination remained prevalent. What legal frameworks were in place to combat gender-based violence, and what efforts had the State made to raise awareness about the issue?
Sébastien Touze, Country Co-Rapporteur for the State of Palestine and Committee Expert, said that conditions of detention for detainees were of grave concern. Up to 12 persons were housed in small cells; there were concerns related to ventilation and hygiene in cells; and there was a lack of medical care provided for persons with serious illnesses. What measures did the State party intend to implement to improve conditions in detention centres?
Mr. Touze also noted that torture was not specifically defined within national legislation and called for torture to be generally criminalised. Definitions of torture within legislation were varied and too narrow, he said. Would it be possible to harmonise legislation on torture?
As for conditions in detention centres, the delegation explained that the State had earmarked resources to create a new detention facility in Hebron to address prison overcrowding in the region, with the support of funding from the United States. Funding, however, had been stopped by the United States in 2017. Another high security detention facility had been constructed in Jericho that met with the highest international standards, with the support of funding from the International Committee of the Red Cross. There were toilets in each cell of this facility, appropriate sunlight, and high-quality food and medical services.
The delegation also explained that there were several specialised legal committees working toward harmonising national legislation. A draft law had been created that defined and banned torture even when ordered by a superior. There were plans to revise national legislation to reflect the recommendations of treaty bodies.
In closing remarks, Claude Heller, Committee Chair,highlighted the quality of the responses provided by the delegation. Mr. Heller expressed hope that the State of Palestine would submit its second report in more favourable domestic circumstances. He wished the State party every success in fulfilling its responsibilities under the Convention.
It is impossible to read this without realizing what a whitewash it is. And the reason is because they want the world to think that Israel is the worst human rights violator, and no one wants to compare Palestinian prison conditions with Israel's.
Naturally, the UN's "experts" are not nearly as fawning when they talk about Israel's alleged torture.

[ The Right to Destroy Santa ]
His image is based on Saint Nicholas, the 4th Century Christian who devoted his life to giving generously to the poor. Therefore, Santa Claus — or Father Christmas — is perhaps one of the most recognizable symbols of Christianity and Christmas.
Yet, in the West Bank where the number of Christians has precipitously declinedin recent years following a campaign waged against them by Palestinian Muslims, the iconic representation of Santa Claus with his white beard and red suit is being expropriated for another purpose.
While most dress as Santa to delight children who believe he sneaks into their homes and delivers presents on Christmas Eve, Palestinians have been known to imitate the iconic figure to wage a propaganda battle against Israel.
Nearly every year in December, Palestinians dressed as Santa Claus join clashes with the Israeli military in violent organized demonstrations that are virtually guaranteed to garner international media coverage.
In 2015, for example, the Santas were present when border officers were attacked near the West Bank town of Bethlehem, which is believed to be the birthplace of Jesus Christ, as rocks and other projectiles were thrown before the riot was dispersed using tear gas.
The following year there were similar scenes as more than 100 Palestinians fought with Israeli riot police.
While the media has invariably characterized the Santa protests as against the “Israeli occupation” and spearheaded by Palestinian Christians, this could not be further from the truth.
Less circulated images tell a different story.
In these pictures, Palestinian Santas can be seen crouched alongside young men wearing red keffiyehs to hide their identities and helping them load bags of rocks onto slingshots to fire at security forces.
Such photographs reveal the demonstrations for what they are: the hijacking of a Christian symbol to garner headlines that baselessly suggest the Jewish state is targeting Christians.
As most of our readers will know, Israel guarantees religious freedom, and the number of Christians living in Israel proper — that is, under an Israeli government — has actually grown over the years, compared to the dwindling numbers governed by the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank and Hamas in Gaza.
The Palestinian Authority, which is behind the vicious persecution of Christians, has even published crass cartoons of Santa to take aim at Israel, including one in which Israeli soldiers are seen after shooting Santa. Published in the official daily newspaper of the PA, Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, in 2017, the caption alongside the illustration read: “He tried to carry out a stabbing operation.”
In addition to being offensive to Christians, the cartoon also appeared to be a way for the PA to mock Israel over the terror attacks, which it encourages Palestinians to perpetrate.
Under the PA’s so-called “pay-for-slay” policy, monetary rewards are given for successful attacks, with the amount increasing according to the bloody carnage caused.
In another cartoon, which was published just two days before a Palestinian woman attempted to stab a soldier, Israeli guards with Stars of David on their helmets are shown frisking a Santa and planting a knife on him.
The co-opting of Christian imagery by Palestinians to attack Israel is worrying.
More disturbing though is an international media that allow themselves to be manipulated by eye-catching images of dozens of Palestinians dressed as Santa, uncritically publishing these photographs to spread a false narrative.

His image is based on Saint Nicholas, the 4th Century Christian who devoted his life to giving generously to the poor. Therefore, Santa Claus — or Father Christmas — is perhaps one of the most recognizable symbols of Christianity and Christmas.
Yet, in the West Bank where the number of Christians has precipitously declinedin recent years following a campaign waged against them by Palestinian Muslims, the iconic representation of Santa Claus with his white beard and red suit is being expropriated for another purpose.
While most dress as Santa to delight children who believe he sneaks into their homes and delivers presents on Christmas Eve, Palestinians have been known to imitate the iconic figure to wage a propaganda battle against Israel.
Nearly every year in December, Palestinians dressed as Santa Claus join clashes with the Israeli military in violent organized demonstrations that are virtually guaranteed to garner international media coverage.
In 2015, for example, the Santas were present when border officers were attacked near the West Bank town of Bethlehem, which is believed to be the birthplace of Jesus Christ, as rocks and other projectiles were thrown before the riot was dispersed using tear gas.
The following year there were similar scenes as more than 100 Palestinians fought with Israeli riot police.
While the media has invariably characterized the Santa protests as against the “Israeli occupation” and spearheaded by Palestinian Christians, this could not be further from the truth.
Less circulated images tell a different story.
In these pictures, Palestinian Santas can be seen crouched alongside young men wearing red keffiyehs to hide their identities and helping them load bags of rocks onto slingshots to fire at security forces.
Such photographs reveal the demonstrations for what they are: the hijacking of a Christian symbol to garner headlines that baselessly suggest the Jewish state is targeting Christians.
As most of our readers will know, Israel guarantees religious freedom, and the number of Christians living in Israel proper — that is, under an Israeli government — has actually grown over the years, compared to the dwindling numbers governed by the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank and Hamas in Gaza.

No one can understand the Uyghurs better than the Jews
The world, he said, is waking up to China’s abuses, but it has not been an easy process.“Just a few years ago, people were skeptical when we mentioned what was happening. But why would I lie that my dad is in a concentration camp? Why would I lie about genocide? People automatically suspect that something is wrong with you.”
One notable exception, he said, was the Jewish community. “When we spoke to the Jewish community, nobody was trying to prove we were lying or exaggerating, but said, what can we do?
“One of the reasons we are in Israel is because I believe that no one can understand us better than the Jewish people,” he said.

Kuzzat Altay
Since most Muslim countries have close business ties with China, they have not been supportive and even disputed widespread persecution claims of the Uyghur. Altay took to Twitter earlier this month to criticize Saudi Arabia when Xi was given an honorary degree during a visit there.
“I am Muslim, and I am having a hard time explaining the situation to the Muslim people – imagine that,” he said. “Any Jewish person I talk to, when we mention the concentration camps and what is going on – that they took our elites first, our academicians, our scientists, and then the second layer – when we describe this, immediately you see recognition and compassion. I feel that automatically nobody can understand us better than you.
“Even though you went through the Holocaust, you have a successful nation that is advancing, that is advancing technology, advancing democracy and the rule of law, and becoming an example for the world. Our land in East Turkestan is three times bigger than Turkey, and I believe we are 20 million people. When we look at the few million people here, it is like, how can we learn from this nation that was able to get through this Holocaust and rebuild itself? I think this is something that the Uyghurs need to look up to and learn from.”

The "UN Special Rapporteur on Occupied Palestinian Territories" has shown, yet again, how little she cares about the truth - and about Jewish lives - in this Twitter threadabout the lung cancer death of arch-terrorist Nasir Abu Hmeid (Hamid).
Lie #2: He was not sentenced for "alleged involvement in attacks against Israeli forces." He was sentenced to multiple life sentences for his involvement in murdering seven Israeli civilians, not soldiers.
And there is nothing alleged about it. Palestinians openly brag about his so-called "resistance."
Lie #3: While Israel may have sometimes denied family visits for specific technical reasons, but they certainly allowed them. Not only did the family get to visit Abu Hamid and his three terrorist brothers in prison - they would all get together in a single group, with no glass wall between them, laughing and having fun together. I have seen two separate visits documented in photos:
That's only one tweet.
Albanese links to a letter she co-write about Abu Hmeid in October, that shows how little she cares about fairness and truth. Even though she tries to ensure that no one can call her a liar because she liberally sprinkles her spurious accusations of Israeli mistreatment of Abu Hmeid with "allegedly" and "reportedly," she still manages to show her contempt for Israel and for Israeli civilians, and the lies still shine through:
* She again makes the false accusation that his arrest was for "attacks against Israeli forces." This shows that she believes Palestinian propaganda, where every Israeli civilian is considered a legitimate military target.
* She repeats the lie by saying "On 19 September 2022, the Board postponed the date of the hearing for Mr. Abu Hamid’s case until 6 October 2022, allegedly in light of objections to his release by the families of Israeli soldiers allegedly killed by Mr. Abu Hamid."
This is not a mistake - she repeats the lie that he did not kill civilians, only "soldiers."
* She writes, "Mr. Abu Hamid has served most of his sentence in Askalan Prison, where he was reportedly subject to detention conditions that do not respect the minimum safety, hygiene or health standards. He was placed in a narrow and overcrowded cell without proper ventilation and deprived of adequate health care."
First of all, the prison name is Ashkelon, not Askalan. Even if you use the Arab name of the city, the prison does not have that name. This shows that Albanese simply does not accept any information from Israel as truth, while she believes Palestinian lies implicitly.
Secondly, she doesn't couch her accusations of prison conditions with any "allegedly." Albanese states, as fact, that the prison is overcrowded and has improper ventilation. Has the Red Cross said that there is no proper ventilation there? Has she read any Israeli inspection reports? Of course not.
Palestinians lie about the prison conditions all the time...and yet, when they go on strike for better conditions, we can see the truth. This extensive list of demands in 2004, during the height of the second intifada, asks for things like allowing second cousins to visit and "to allow all cells to have access to a computer and not only students." But it doesn't demand basic things like better ventilation or less crowded conditions!
Why not? Because that wasn't a problem even in 2004, let alone today!
Here is more proof, as if any is needed, that Francesca Albanese is a liar. And her refusal to believe a word that Jewish Israelis say while believing the accusations of murderers and their supporters shows, yet again, that her railing against the "Jewish lobby" was not a mistake, but antisemitism is part and parcel of who she is.

Lie #1: He was not a "Palestinian refugee." By definition, a refugee cannot live in the same country they are supposedly refugees from. The definition of refugee is very clear in the UN Refugee Convention.Abu Hamid, Palestinian refugee from Al-Amar Camp, West Bank, was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2002, for alleged involvement in attacks against Israeli forces during the 2nd Intifada. His detention appeared to violate basic human rights standards, including denial of family visits.
Lie #2: He was not sentenced for "alleged involvement in attacks against Israeli forces." He was sentenced to multiple life sentences for his involvement in murdering seven Israeli civilians, not soldiers.
And there is nothing alleged about it. Palestinians openly brag about his so-called "resistance."

One of the many ways in which the Palestinian Authority distorts history in order to invent a centuries-old Palestinian identity, is to turn Jesus the Judean (Jew), who promoted peace on earth, into a Palestinian terrorist who was murdered by the Israelis, thus becoming the first Palestinian “Martyr,” who is now reveling in heaven with Allah, in the arms of 72 dark-eyed virgins.
While the language the PA uses to describe Jesus as a terrorist and as someone enjoying his virgins is less direct, the meaning is the same.
When referring to Palestinian terrorists, the PA calls them “self-sacrificing fighters,” or “fidai”. So, when the PA and its officials use the same terms to describe Jesus, they are in fact saying he is a terrorist.
As Palestinian Media Watch has shown, here, here, here, here, and here, among other places, the definition of Jesus as a terrorist enjoying his virgins is not a fringe idea, but rather one expressed by the highest order in the PA.
Jesus the “Palestinian” terrorist murdered by the Jews
When PA Prime Minister Muhammad Shtayyeh sought to declare Jesus a terrorist, and link him to Palestinian terror, he referred to him as a “Palestinian self-sacrificing fighter” who, similar to the PA descriptions of suicide bombers, “paid for his mission with his life” and whose birth takes place “at the same time as the anniversary of the outbreak of the Palestinian revolution” – i.e the anniversary of the first Fatah terror attack:

Muwaffaq Matar, a member of the Revolutionary Council of PA leader Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah party and regular columnist for the official PA daily similarly adopted Jesus as a Palestinian and compared him to terrorists calling him a “self-sacrificing fighter”:“The birthday of our lord Jesus, peace be upon him - the first Palestinian self-sacrificing fighter from whom we learned Martyrdom-death, and who paid for his mission with his life - takes place at the same time as the anniversary of the outbreak of the Palestinian revolution (i.e., the anniversary of “the Launch” of Fatah, counted from its first terror attack against Israel), for which thousands of Martyrs have paid with their lives so that we will live and remain, and so that our children will dream of a better future.”
[Official PA daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, Dec. 28, 2020]
The same idea was repeated by Omar Hilmi Al-Ghoul, a regular columnist for the official PA daily and former advisor to former PA Prime Minister Salam Fayyad on national affairs. As part of a wider attack on Zionism and demonization of Israel, Al-Ghoul compared Jesus to terrorists killed by Israel, charging that the terrorists were killed “just as they [the Zionists] crucified Jesus”:“It was our fate that the first self-sacrificing fighter (Jesus) [parentheses in source] would be Palestinian, and that the self-sacrificing fighter for peace on the land of Palestine and on earth would also be Palestinian.”
[Official PA daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, Nov. 10, 2022]
While saying that he thinks “that the Palestinian people are on the brink of a great intifada” and talking about the importance of Jerusalem, Fatah Central Committee member Abbas Zaki also declared that Jesus was a Palestinian crucified by Israel/the Jews:“From their perspective, a good Palestinian Arab is a dead, murdered, and crucified Palestinian - just as they crucified Jesus, the first Palestinian self-sacrificing fighter.”
[Official PA daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, June 20, 2022]
Zakki made a similar claim just days earlier:“When Jesus the son of Mary, who was Palestinian, ascended to Heaven, when the Israelis or the Jews crucified him, we [Muslims] say that he ascended to Heaven.”
[Facebook page of Fatah Central Committee member Abbas Zaki, May 31, 2022]
Since the PA has been claiming for such a long time that Jesus was a Palestinian, it is not surprising that they comment when others adopt their narrative. Such was the case when the song “Save Palestine,” was played as part of a song competition named after former PLO and PA Chairman Yasser Arafat in Zimbabwe. The competition was held by the Zimbabwe Union of Journalists and the Zimbabwe Palestine Solidarity Council. In addition to referring to Jesus the Palestinian, the lyrics of the song add that those who fought Jesus then are now destroying “his people”:“[Whoever] sold himself to the Zionist movement knows that Jesus the son of Mary is Palestinian.”

Bill: The waving of PA, enemy flags to be banned
In the explanation for the bill by MK Eliyahu Ravivo of the Likud, it was said: "There is nothing and half nothing between supporting the enemy and terrorism and freedom of expression. Expect the Zionist opposition factions to support"
Against many cases in recent years in which PA flags and flags of countries considered enemies have been flown in Israel, either during demonstrations in Israeli cities or hung on houses, MK Eliyahu Ravivo (Likud) submitted a bill according to which the flying of these flags would be prohibited throughout the country, including in universities and educational institutions.
Today the law does not prohibit such demonstrations nor the waving of enemy flags within the territory of the State of Israel. The police, who are authorized to approve or prevent the existence of demonstrations, are not required to prevent the waving of these flags.
In the explanatory notes to the law MK Ravivo wrote: "The State of Israel, as a democratic country, allows its citizens to protest on issues where they disagree with the decisions of the authorized authorities. However, the bill places a red line between a legitimate protest and a protest during which the flags of those who do not recognize the State of Israel or pose a threat to its existence are raised."
Ravivo added: "The Flag Law, which prohibits the flying of enemy flags and terrorist organizations in the sovereign territory of the State of Israel, is another important pillar of the state's governance. It is unthinkable that our enemies and their supporters will fly here the flags of those who seek to murder us and our children, and do everything to do so. I am in favor of freedom of speech, but there is nothing between supporting the enemy and terrorism and freedom of speech. I will insist that the law be passed as soon as possible, and I also expect the Zionist opposition factions to support this important law."
