what more do you need to know about Arab imperialism?
Clashes renewed Sunday in the Ain al-Helweh Palestinian refugee camp near Sidon between the secular Fatah Movement and hardline Islamist groups.
TV networks said the fighting resumed after a senior Fatah commander was killed in an ambush.
An Islamist had been killed and six people including children had been injured in overnight clashes in the camp.
Key Sidon highways were closed to traffic on Sunday as stray bullets and shells landed in various areas of the major southern Lebanese city.
Clashes between rival groups are common in Ain al-Helweh, which is home to more than 54,000 registered Palestinian refugees who have been joined in recent years by thousands of Palestinians fleeing the conflict in Syria.
By long-standing convention, the Lebanese Army does not enter Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon, leaving the factions themselves to handle security.
That has created lawless areas in many camps, and Ain al-Helweh has gained notoriety as a refuge for extremists and fugitives.
Abbas further criticized that “the colonialist states” - especially the US - persist in their misconduct by continuing to sponsor Israel who Abbas compared to apartheid South Africa:Abbas: “Western colonialism – and the US and Britian in particular – conspired to issue the ominous Balfour Promise (i.e., Declaration) in 1917, in which one who has no ownership gave a promise to one who has no right.”
[Official PA daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, July 31, 2023]
Abbas’ climax on this issue is that because of all these crimes, the PA is planning legal action against the United States and Britain:“We are also especially focusing on creating changes in public opinion in the colonialist states that have sponsored Israel and are still sponsoring it to this very day, and especially in the US(in this context, we have South Africa as a model) [parentheses in source].”
Finally, since Palestinians - according to Abbas - have existed “on its historical homeland… on this land for thousands of years,” and Israel's history is “false Zionist and Israeli claims and narratives,” Israel is therefore an illegal occupation that is destined to “pass”:“We also will submit lawsuits against the US and Britain for their responsibility for the Balfour Promise and its implementation through the British Mandate for Palestine.”
Palestinian Media Watch has exposed numerous anti-American statements and statements against Western countries by Abbas and other PA leaders and officials, and documented that PA loyalties lie with other states like Russia and China.“We will certainly triumph, we will defeat the occupation (i.e., Israel)… for every occupation passes in the end, and this will be the fate of the hated Israeli occupation of our homeland."

What else does their constitution say?
All Palestinians are equal under the law without regard to race, color, religion, or sex.
Freedom of religion.
Israel is the source of aggression.When a group of Israeli vigilantes attacked a number of Palestinian towns in mid-June, torching homes and cars in an unprovoked attack, outrage was expressed across Israeli society.
The Israeli military unequivocally condemned the attacks, labeling them as “serious incidents of violence and destruction of property.” Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu strongly reprimanded the attackers, reminding them that “The State of Israel is a state of law. The citizens of Israel are all obligated to respect the law,” and said that Israelis were forbidden from attempting to “grab land illegally.”
The country’s senior military leaders, including Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, released a joint statement where they described the attack as “nationalist terrorism,” and pledged to fight it, including widening arrests.
Israel’s response was not just limited to rhetoric; the country’s security services also arrested a number of Israelis in relation to the attacks.
Similarly, in early August, Israeli Police arrested two Israelis and detained five others, after a Palestinian man was killed in “West Bank” in a violent altercation that is under disputed circumstances.
And while Israel as a whole cannot be judged based on the violent actions of a small minority of extremists, Israel can be judged based on its response, which was swift, unequivocal and clear-headed.
Tragically, the same cannot be said for when Palestinian terrorism, which is a far deadlier menace, takes the lives of innocent Israeli civilians.
On June 20, four Israelis were gunned down in an unprovoked attack, when a Palestinian terrorist shot at Israelis at a roadside gas station and restaurant outside the town of Eli. Two of the victimswere under the age of 20.
Following the attack, Hamas claimed responsibility, saying that it was mourning “the martyr Muhammad Shehadeh,” and saying that it was a “clear message” to Israel.
Hamas is more than just a terrorist organization; it is also the de facto government in the Gaza Strip, overseeing the lives of two million Palestinians.
While Hamas may be a fundamentalist Islamist group, compared to the Palestinian Authority (PA), which oversees much of Judea & Samaria (referred to as the “West Bank” by the news media), the PA has not made a serious attempt to stamp out Palestinian terrorism in its midst, evidenced by Israel’s needs to conduct raids in July in Jenin to root out the city’s terror infrastructure.
Mahmoud Abbas, the leader of the Palestinian Authority, frequently tells global audiences that his government condemns Palestinian terrorism, but his actions speak far louder than his words.
Israeli soldiers have had to regularly enter Palestinian villages under the control of the PA in attempts to arrest terrorism suspects, while Palestinian terrorism has not just arisen in a vacuum; much of it is actively encouraged by the Palestinian leadership. As per Palestinian Authority policy, the families of terrorists receive a monthly stipend from the Palestinian government. The family of Khairy Alkam, the Palestinian man who murdered seven Israelis outside a Jerusalem synagogue in early 2023, would be entitled to an initial payment of more than $2,000 (CAD), part of a larger remuneration which has been labeled “pay for slay.”
The Palestinian Authority leadership, which actively incites its population against Israel, whether in school textbooks or state-approved media outlets, has effectively brainwashed generation after generation to see Israel not as a partner for peace, even grudgingly, but as a foreign imposition onto the Middle East, and a tumour to be excised.
Palestinian leaders frequently praise dead Palestinian terrorists, sending an unmistakeable message to their people that violence against Israel is not only tolerated, but in fact encouraged.
Such incitement is not limited to low-level Palestinian leaders. Mahmoud Abbas has not hesitated to call on Palestinians to commit violence when he sees it as politically expedient.
In early 2022, following an Israeli operation which killed three Palestinian terrorists, Mahmoud Abbas spoke at a memorial event for the three decedents, where he said that Palestinians “won’t continue to wait patiently any longer,” and called on Palestinians to “dish out to them (Israel) twice as much as we’ve received,” constituting an explicit invitation for Palestinians to attack Israelis. Recently, Abbas laid a wreath for Palestinian terrorists and combatants killed by Israeli forces in Jenin and while the media may describe Abbas with the moniker of “moderate,” in reality, he’s an extremist supporter of terrorism.
These factors – the Palestinian leadership’s failure to rein in terrorism, its active incitement of violence against Israel, and its ‘pay for slay’ regimen – together represent a clear agenda of hatred and willful promotion of terrorism against Israel.
When extremist Israelis commit violence against Palestinians, they are rightfully condemned across the strata of Israeli society, and held to account. But Palestinian terrorism against Israel is not only tolerated, it is actively encouraged. This fundamental difference in how Israel and the Palestinian leadership address violence tells a great deal about the prospects for future peace in the region, and unless the news media can recognize this fundamental difference, it is failing to adequately cover an extremely important element in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
When Israelis Commit Violence Against Palestinians, Israel Holds Them To Account. Why Won’t The Palestinian Leadership Do The Same With Palestinian Terrorism?

SUBTOPIC: Unfounded Perception
⁜→ P F Tinmore, Sixties Fan, et al,
The Hostile Arab Palestinians (HoAP), and the associated anti-Israeli and pro-Palestinian Factions that are promoting and furthering the Armed conflict, are a way of regarding, understanding, or interpreting parcels of information that lead to the advocacy of national, racial, or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination or violence. They use perceptions based on corrupted logic, that solely promote their viewpoint; but, not reality. They are not interested in the truth or the pathway that would arrive at any peace arrangement.

(COMMENT)
The Hostile Arab Palestinians (HoAP), and the associated anti-Israeli and pro-Palestinian Factions that are promoting and furthering the Armed conflict, find themselves entangled in a condition in which people have an unreasonably high sense of their own importance. They pretend to be superior to the Israelis by virtue of a picture they paint of themselves which does not in any actual way, shape, or form, resemble their actual image as seen in a mirror. Their mantra is: "Jihad and the armed resistance is the right and real method for the liberation of Palestine." Empathy for others of their own tribal kind is not a component of their personality. They will sacrifice their own, then parade the remains in a public dance to arouse an anti-Israeli and pro-Palestinian fervor. They will blame the Israelis for the blood sacrifice by intentionally placing the innocent in harm's way.
There is just no reasoning with them. It is very true, the HoAP, anti-Israeli, and pro-Palestinian Faction need a greater measure of protection amid the rise in violence. But, the protection they need is the inverse of what they require. The HoAP, anti-Israeli, and pro-Palestinian Factions need protection from themselves. They intentionally harm themselves to arose sympathy for their cause. Yes, there is a partial truth to the claim that the Arab Palestinians have been natives of the territory for more than a thousand years (in one form or another). But during that time, the Arab Palestinians never exercised territorial sovereignty. That is the unspoken truth. The HoAP, anti-Israeli, and pro-Palestinian Factions portray themselves as victims → and in a sense, they are → victims of their own incompetence. Like children, they need protection from themselves.
Most Respectfully,
