[ We need more Palestinians like this one, who are not afraid to help Jews ]


A Palestinian resident of the Hebron area saved a Jewish couple from a nearby settlement after they were attacked last week. The man took the couple to his home, and later the army evacuated them from the area.


Later that night, rocks were thrown at the Palestinian man's house, and his property and the couple's vehicle were damaged.


The incident occurred at around 3 A.M. on Tuesday, April 4. The couple, Amichai and Nitzan Baron were driving to the West Bank settlement of Karmei Tzur, nearby Hebron, after an event in Jerusalem. "We were heading home in the middle of the night, and there was a barrier of rocks on the road," said Amichai Baron.


In the footage of the incident, M is seen calling the couple to enter his house. They obeyed him and quickly entered the building, while he's protecting the woman as stones can be heard being thrown in the background. M offered water to the couple, when in the meantime they contacted the area's security hotline and reported that they were at a Palestinian's house after their car got stuck. A force under the command of a battalion commander arrived shortly on-scene.

Terrorist Mothers (poster)


I saw that Islamic Jihad's news media had made a poster of the poor mothers who are in Israeli prisons, separated from their families.

So sad!

I looked up what these sweet mothers had done to be placed into prison, and modified the poster to show the truth.






 
A New York Times article labeled “news analysis,” about tension between President Biden and Prime Minister Netanyahu, reports, “Mr. Netanyahu made no particular effort to hide his backing for President Donald J. Trump in the 2020 election, making clear his preference for an incumbent who gave him everything he asked for, including moving the United States Embassy to Jerusalem and paying little attention to the Palestinians while siding with Israel on its claims over Palestinian territory in the West Bank.”

As is typical with Times articles about Israel, the article already carries one correction: “A correction was made on March 30, 2023: An earlier version of this article misstated where evacuated settlers would be allowed to return under a law passed by Israel’s Parliament. They would be able to go to four areas of the West Bank, not the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.”

Most egregious of all, though, is the phrase “siding with Israel on its claims over Palestinian territory in the West Bank.” That makes it sound like the Times itself is taking sides in the territorial dispute, asserting that the land actually is “Palestinian territory.”

The Israeli view was that it is Israeli territory. This is especially so because the land Israel was considering annexing wasn’t the entire West Bank, but only selected portions of it that were either strategically crucial or that were already heavily populated by Jewish residents. For the Times to describe those lands as “Palestinian territory” rather than as disputed territory is to adopt the Palestine Liberation Organization negotiating position as New York Times news department editorial policy. These are lands to which the Jewish people has extensive religious and historical connections, lands that were controlled most recently by the Ottoman and British empires, then by the Kingdom of Jordan, and then, after the Six Day War of 1967, by Israel.

Mrs. Dee and her daughters were driving on a highway. They were not occupying or oppressing anybody. They were minding their own business, peacefully and legally. They might have been on the left wing of the political spectrum; they might have been on the right. I do not know, and that doesn’t matter. For Palestinian terrorists, all that mattered was that the Dees were Jews; that was a capital offense.

According to Israeli police investigators, the terrorists were in a car traveling on the same road. They pulled alongside the Dees. The shooter, who was in the back seat, would have been close enough to see that the passengers were two young, defenseless women. He opened fire on them. That caused their car to crash.

The terrorists passed the crashed vehicle, made a U-turn and then approached the Dees’ vehicle a second time. They would have had to be driving very slowly at that point, meaning that both the driver and the shooter would have been able to clearly see the three badly injured women up close. The shooter fired again.

I am repeating these details, as difficult as they are to write and to read, because it’s important to recognize something about the psychology of Palestinian Arab terrorists.

A terrorist who plants a bomb in a movie theater never sees his victims at all. A sniper who shoots people from a distance doesn’t have to look into the eyes of the people he is trying to murder. But in an attack such as the one I have described, the killer was within a few feet of his targets—twice. And twice he opened fire on them.

To commit such brutal violence, a terrorist has to possess a profoundly cruel and barbaric mentality. It’s not that terrorists who plant bombs are any less barbaric. But there’s something about such an up-close act of violence that illustrates the attacker’s viciousness in a way that more “anonymous” types of murder can disguise.

Historians have described many episodes from the not-so-distant past in which other killers of Jews likewise committed murder at very close range. The proximity of the victim did not cause them the slightest hesitation.

Now let’s consider the broader implications of the massacre of the Dees. If a Palestinian Arab state was established next to Israel—as the U.S. State Department and J Street are constantly demanding—this is what Israelis would face: an entire sovereign country representing the mentality of the Dees’ murderer.

How do we know that a state of “Palestine” would act in the spirit of such killers? Because the Palestinian Authority regime itself constantly says so. The official P.A. news media relentlessly praises terrorists and holds them up to Palestinian society as heroes.

When the shooter of the Dees is finally captured and jailed, he will receive a lifetime of monetary payments from the P.A. If the shooter is killed while resisting arrest, his family will receive the payments. In fact, with Lucy Dee succumbing to her wounds, the level of the payments has just risen since the terrorists are paid according to how many Jews they murdered.

The P.A.’s policy of paying terrorists is a statement about the values that Palestinian Arab society holds dear, which a state of “Palestine” would embody.

So, the next time you hear that glib phrase, “two-state solution,” think about Mrs. Lucy Dee, and her daughters Maia and Rina. Think about the savagery of their murderer. And imagine what it would be like for Israel to return to its old nine-miles-wide border and face an entire sovereign state of such killers and their cheerleaders as its next-door neighbors.



 
[ This saying has been said by one Muslim leader after another since the 1967 war. ]



UPDATE: Subsequent to our alert exposing Meshwar Editor, Nazih Khatatba for publishing a Facebook post claiming that “there are no civilians in the Israeli society” meaning that in his eyes, all Israelis are legitimate targets for terror attacks, his post has now vanished from his Facebook page. We wonder, did Mr. Khatatba delete his post for fear of being banned by Facebook?


Original Post

Nazih Khatatba and the Mississauga-based Arabic-language newspaper Meshwar, of which he is the Editor, have been long accused of engaging in antisemitic hate, Holocaust denial and of glorifying Palestinian terrorism.

For many years, HonestReporting Canada has worked tirelessly to expose Nazih Khatatba and Meshwar’s hateful conduct.

Recently, on March 7, Khatatba authored a post on his Facebook page that appeared to be inspired by the antisemitic blood libel that Jews murdered non-Jews to use their blood for ritual purposes. At the time, we called on Facebook to ban Khatatba from its platform for his spreading antisemitic hate. Disturbingly, Facebook has not taken any action to limit, suspend, or ban Khatatba.

Importantly, one month later on April 7, Khatatba used his Facebook page to comment on a recent Palestinian terror attack that saw two British-Israeli sisters brutally murdered in a shooting attack in Judea & Samaria (the “West Bank”).

Khatatba wrote:

HonestReporting Canada has independently verified the translation of Meshwar’s words from the original Arabic.

These comments are eerily similar to remarks made in 2004 by former Canadian Islamic Congress President Mohammed Elmasry, who at the time said that all Israelis above the age of 18 are legitimate targets for Palestinian suicide bombers, because they’ve all served in the Israeli army. Elmasry had told the Globe and Mail the targets would also include out-of-uniform military personnel at bus stops.

Elder of Ziyon has a piece on the latest UN report on poverty in countries around the world. This “Multidimensional Poverty Index” is arrived at by studying health, education, and the standard of living, based on ten weighted indicators. It turns out that in the “State of Palestine,” there is less poverty than in more than one hundred other countries.

We were once assured, just after 9/11/2001, that terrorism was a function of poverty. Alberto Abadie, a researcher for the National Bureau of Economic Research, in 2005 published the first detailed study of the relationship of poverty to terrorism, demonstrating that the incidence of terrorism was the same in poor as in rich countries.

Others then pointed out that the most famous terrorist in the world, Osama bin Laden, was the multi-millionaire son of a billionaire; that Al-Qaeda’s second-in-command, Ayman Al-Zawahiri, was a well-off doctor from one of the most prominent Egyptian families; his mother was related to Azzam Pasha, the Secretary-General of the Arab League and his wife, Azza Nowair, was from one of the richest Egyptian families; that Mohamed Atta was from an upper middle-class family; that Nidal Hassan was a doctor in the American army earning $90,000 a year; that Maher “Mike” Hawash had been earning $300,000 a year as an Intel engineer; that Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the so-called “underwear bomber,” was the son of one of the richest men in Nigeria.

And there are many more examples of millionaire Muslim terrorists.

Now the UN Multidimensional Poverty Index makes clear that the incidence of terrorism by nation is unrelated to poverty. It turns out that there very little or no terrorism in the 100-odd countries whose people are poorer, and in some cases, much poorer (see Niger, Ethiopia, South Sudan, Chad) than the Palestinians.

There must be some other explanation for the Palestinians having the highest incidence of terrorism in the world. Might it have something to do with Islam? More on this just-released UN study of “multidimensional poverty” can be found here: “‘Palestine’ ranks better than most countries in ‘multidimensional poverty’ and ‘human development index,’” Elder of Ziyon, April 2, 2023:

The UN Human Development Reports of the UN Development Program defines a “Multidimensional Poverty Index” (MPI.)
The MPI looks beyond income to understand how people experience poverty in multiple and simultaneous ways. It identifies how people are being left behind across three key dimensions: health, education and standard of living, comprising 10 indicators. People who experience deprivation in at least one third of these weighted indicators fall into the category of multidimensionally poor.

The MPI score is based on these metrics:


How do Palestinians do?

Pretty good, actually.

While Western nations are not listed in this chart, the Palestinians are shown to be in far better shape than over 100 countries that are listed. I call out some of them.



Anti-Israel activists like to pretend that Palestinians have “no choice” but to turn to terror, and one of the reasons they like to trot out is how impoverished they are.

If that was the case, then why are we not seeing the same support for terror in the 100 countries who have a higher poverty score than they do?
Until COVID, Palestinians had also been steadily getting better scores every year in UNDP’s Human Development Index, but even after a brief setback they are ranked “high” in various metrics….
If the Palestinians are doing this well, think of how much better they would be doing if only they did not suffer from colossal corruption by their leaders.

Just two leaders of Hamas, Khaled Meshaal and Mousa bin Marzouk, have each managed to help themselves to $2.5 billion from the aid donors intended to be provided to the people of Gaza. And in the West Bank, President-for-Life Mahmoud Abbas has, with his sons Tarek and Yasser, managed to accumulate a family fortune of $400 million. And both in Gaza and in the Palestinian Authority, hundreds of loyalists of the top leaders have been allowed to help themselves as well to a few million dollars apiece.

It adds up. A billion here, and a billion there, and as Senator Everett Dirksen famously said, it begins to add up “to real money.”

Poverty is the wrong place to look. So called terrorism is usually caused by military occupation.
 
Hamas begging for welfare money. Some world class sucking up by Hamas clowns as the bend and scrape before the Iranian Mullocrats.


 
Today is Quds Day, the last Friday of Ramadan, declared by the late Ayatollah Khomeini of Iran in 1979 specifically as an anti-Israel event.

The irony is that Jerusalem is not nearly as important to Shiite Muslims as the Iranians want the world to believe.

A summary of the Shiite attitude towards Jerusalem can be seen in English here, written by a controversial anti-Iranian Shiite cleric from Kuwait who now lives in the UK.


We cannot find in the narrations of our Imams (peace be upon them) that much of a special or exceptional significance regarding Jerusalem as much as we find in their narrations regarding the Grand Sacred Mosque, the Prophet’s Mosque, the Great Mosque of Kufa or the Holy Shrine of Imam Hussain (peace be upon him). We cannot even find a single narration about the significance of the mosque of Jerusalem reported by al-Sheikh al-Kulayni (with whom may Allah be pleased) in his book al-Kafi in the chapter that includes the most recommended mosques by our Imams’ (peace be upon them). We find, for example, in this chapter narrations that mention the significance of al-Quba Mosque, the Mosque of al-Ahzab, the Mosque of Fadhi’kh, al-Fath Mosque, al-Ghadeer Mosque, the Well of Umm Ibrahim, the Mosque of Sahlah in al-Kufa, the Sacred Mosque and the Prophet’s Mosque. Still, there is not a single mention of the Mosque of Jerusalem.

Therefore, we do not acknowledge what the opponents of Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them) narrate regarding the mosque of Jerusalem. We consider many of them to be Israeli narrations or transmitted through Ka’b al-Ahbar. One may easily realise this by looking at the narrations of Abu Huraira, as the exaggeration in it regarding the significance of Jerusalem is quite evident.

Many Shiites do not accept that the "Furthest Mosque" (Al Aqsa) that Mohammed flew to on his legendary Night Journey was in Jerusalem at all, but rather in the heavens.

While no one doubts that Jerusalem has a degree of sanctity for Shiite Muslims, because it was the first direction for Muslim prayer, the Shiite Muslim deep attachment to Jerusalem was a recent innovation. Traditionally, other mosques (like Kufa in Iraq) had a higher degree of sanctity.

It is all political.
