As European Council President Charles Michel stated in January, Europeans have a special duty to commemorate the Holocaust and combat antisemitism “with full force” wherever it rears its ugly head. Therefore, we called on all European ambassadors to the PA to unequivocally condemn the actions of Beita’s residents and insist that Ramallah end its support for them.

In response, a Dutch lawmaker has taken up the matter in The Hague. On August 22, MP Raymond de Roon submitted written questions in parliament in which he demanded to know whether Foreign Minister Sigrid Kaag would denounce the PA’s backing for the Jew-hatred espoused by the Beita residents:

Questions of MP De Roon (PVV) to the Minister of Foreign Affairs about support from the Palestinian Authority for antisemitism:

1. How do you assess the support of the Palestinian Authority for the expressions of antisemitism in Samaria, accompanied by burning Stars of David and swastikas? [1] [2]
2. Do you recall the motion passed by the House of Representatives (32735-219) that calls on the government to condemn statements by heads of government that contribute to growing antisemitism? [3]
3. Are you willing to forcefully condemn the aforementioned support, both in bilateral contacts with the Palestinian authorities and in public? How will you act?

By law, Foreign Minister Kaag needs to answer De Roon’s questions within three weeks, although this period can be extended. Meanwhile, Palestinians in Beita continue to call for the murder of Jews. On August 19, for example, the town’s “popular resistance units” burned a model of an Israeli village, in line with their statement that this is “all we are working for.”

With Prime Minister Bennett set to meet with US President Biden it is critical to discuss the American intention to reopen a consulate in Jerusalem that will serve only Arabs – and undermine Israel’s sovereignty in its capital city.

Three months ago, when US Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited Israel and the PA, he declared that the Biden administration would reopen its consulate in Jerusalem. Until it was closed in 2019 by the Trump administration, following the opening of the US Embassy in Jerusalem, the consulate had served as a de facto embassy for Arabs of the Palestinian Authority.

Prime Minister Bennett must make it clear that Israel will absolutely oppose the consulate’s reopening. Here are ten reasons why.

For so many, the Arab-Israeli world is a mystery. Even in Israel, where we live side by side with Arab-Israelis, it’s a foreign culture to us non-Arabs. We read about it in the news, we see it depicted in movies and television and we hear it talked about endlessly. But we don’t really know what it’s like. Probably the only part of their culture some of us know fairly well is Arab food – Shawarma, Knaffeh, Msabaha, the list goes on and on. It’s a good list too. But other parts of the culture are alien to us.

For example, what is it like to study in an Arab academic institution?

Well, our guest today might just have some insight. Avi Shalev served in Military Intelligence and the Civil Administration in Judea and Samaria and the Gaza Strip for 24 years. And then, he had what some might call a crazy idea. He wanted to obtain a teaching certificate in order to teach Arabic in schools and he decided to do it in Al Qasemi College, a Sufi Muslim academic institution in Baqa al-Gharbiyye, an Arab village along the border with the West Bank.

Europe is characterized as being liberal and enlightened, and Israel is portrayed in the media as intolerant and Islamophobic.
But European countries and towns have many laws that are specifically against the practice of Islam, and Israel doesn't.

In so-tolerant Denmark, children who live in certain neighborhoods called "ghettoes" - which happen to be Muslim majority neighborhoods - are literally taken from their parents for 25 hours a week, starting at age 1:

Starting at the age of 1, “ghetto children” must be separated from their families for at least 25 hours a week, not including nap time, for mandatory instruction in “Danish values,” including the traditions of Christmas and Easter, and Danish language. Noncompliance could result in a stoppage of welfare payments. Other Danish citizens are free to choose whether to enroll children in preschool up to the age of six.

The French Senate voted to ban hijabs for children in public.

Six European nations have banned the face-covering burqa altogether.

In Moldova, several local councils banned public Muslim worship.

The European Union court has ruled that workplaces can limit Muslims wearing religious headwear.

A number of European communities ban halal (and kosher) slaughter.

Switzerland banned minarets on mosques in 2009.

Several French municipalities ban the "burkini" body-covering swimwear that Muslim women use.

None of these restrictions on Muslims exist in Israel.

Today, UNRWA's advisory committee will meet to address yet another deficit in its budget.

UNRWA has warned that by August its deficit will hit $30 million and that its annual deficit is at $150 million.

All of this is despite the US resuming aid to UNRWA to the tune of $150 million a year and an additional $33 million to help rebuild Gaza.

This happens every year - war or no war, COVID or no COVID. UNRWA cries that it is running out of money and that it won't be able to fulfil its outdated and bigoted mandate, and the nations of the world give millions to bail it out and look like humanitarians.

No one steps back and asks - why do Palestinians get schools funded by the world when no real refugee population does? Why do they get a completely separate medical infrastructure when no real refugees do? What gives fake Palestinian "refugees" a higher priority than the tens of millions of real refugees?

Why fund an agency whose entire purpose is to perpetuate the problem it is supposedly meant to fix? The number of people it has to feed and house and educate according to its mandate will continue to grow year after year according to its skewed definition of "refugee" where even full citizens of other countries and their descendants remain "refugees" forever.

That's pretty disgusting. Why don't you understand Arab culture after 100 years in Palestine.

Could it be that the European refugees were mocking and demeaning Arab culture since 1920?

What happened to all the Jews who lived all over Europe for about 2000 years before the Khazars, who came from a region in Central Asia, allegedly converted to Judaism and migrated to Europe in the 9th or 10th Century CE?

Don't know and don't really care. Even Berbers converted to Judaism. See the Jewish warrior queen, Kahina.

Most Jews lived outside of Palestine before the birth of Christ.. in Aleppo, Baghdad, Damascus, Persia, Rome, Alexandria, Elephantine Island and all around the Mediterranean Sea. .. and, I'm sure they had their reasons.

I don't care if the Khazars converted or not. That was their right, don't you think?

It is the right of anyone to convert to any religion they wish.

It is not anyone's right to say that ALL Ashkenazi Jews are converts to Judaism from the 8th CE on, and therefore allege that Herzl and all other Ashkenazi Jews were descendants of late converts and not actually, as they were, people descendant of Indigenous Israelites who moved to Europe at any time in history and decided to return to their homeland.

And it is not right to deny to all other non Ashkenazi Jews, the right to reconstruct their Nation ON their ancient homeland, simply because of a theory which has been as debunked and outdated as the one about Arabs being in Palestine for 10,000 years.

It matters because ALL JEWS are being attacked all around the world, because of being Jews, including Sepharadi and Mizrahi Jews.

Jew haters do not see a difference between an Ashkenazi, a Sepahradi or a Mizrahi Jew. They do not say to each other "Let us just go after those who say they are Ashkenazi, because we believe the Ashkenazi are false converted Jews, and they do not have the right to live in Israel, and much less be Jews".

They do not say "OK, the Sepharadi and Mizrahi Jews are indigenous Jews. Let them live in their ancient homeland, in Israel, as they have the right to.


We are never going to see any of the above because ALL three groups of Jews ARE descendants of the Israelites.

And all three have the absolute right to live in their reconstructed Nation and defend it, as the Israelites and Judeas did before them, against any invaders who wanted to take the land and subjugate them.

One more thing you did not catch up on and do not care:

Khazaria was in Central Asia.

Therefore to call Central Asian people Europeans is the greatest irony of all, as Ashkenazi Jews, of Asian origin, are also being called Europeans, simply to delegitimize where they are originally from.

Aside from the PA’s feeble attempts to hide its monthly terrorist salary payments, PMW has also proven that some of the money the PA transfers to the PLO even finds its way to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, both designated by the US and EU as terror organizations.

According to a statement of EU representatives, the EU provides the PA with aid in the amount of “300 million euros, equal to $400 million, per year. Of it, $150 million is being allocated to the PA to cover current expenses, such as employees’ salaries and operating expenses…” [Official PA daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, Aug. 19, 2021]. The representative continued saying that the aid “was stopped last month [July 2021] because the EU is approving its budget for the new year, and that it is anticipated to renew its aid in October [2021].” [Official PA daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, Aug. 19, 2021]

If the PA budgetary expenses on the PLO institutions continue for the rest of the year as they were during the first half of the year, the total 2021 PA expenditure on the “PLO institutions” is set to reach 830 million shekels or €218,674,851.

In other words, practically, the EU’s entire aid of $150 million donation to the PA, is simply being used to fund the “PLO institutions”, including funding EU designated terror organizations and the payment of the PA’s monthly terror salaries.

Unless the EU is content with its aid to the PA being used to promote, incite and reward terrorism and terrorists and unless the EU is content funding, directly or indirectly, EU designated terror organizations, the EU should first demand that the PA cease funding the “PLO institutions” before renewing its aid.

The PA, and only the PA is responsible for its financial distress. The PA payment of the terror rewards has made the US, Canada, Australia and the Netherlands cutting financial aid the Authority, while other countries have limited their aid to certain PA projects. If the PA were to abandon its terror rewarding policy, the decision would not only relieve the PA’s financial crisis, but it would also open a door to other changes in PA priorities and values which are all prerequisites for peace.

Before giving aid, the EU should ask the PA why itâs funding the PLO and rewarding terrorists | PMW Analysis

Every month the PA transfers huge sums of money to the “PLO institutions”. The sum transferred depends on whether the PA is open and honest about its payments to the terrorist prisoners or whether it is trying to hide them.

June 26 was a Saturday. B'Tselem claims that the Jews cam from Adei Ad, an outpost founded by religious Jews. While it is possible that Jews violate the Shabbat and torch Arab fields as they take their Shabbat walks, it seems unlikely.

I could not find any article in Arab media about this, although there were reports of settlers attacking the same area three days later, supposedly burning fields with fires in a suspiciously straight line that would not be the most efficient way to destroy a field.



B'Tselem's report on the latter incident ignored the allegations of fires and instead claimed that the settlers uprooted 75 olive trees. Olive trees are notoriously hard to uproot or even cut down.

I'm not saying that Jews don't attack Arab fields sometimes - they certainly do. Arabs also regularly attack Jewish-owned fields, something that no international NGOs ever report on.

But it appears that many of these attacks on Arab property are false reports, and B'Tselem doesn't even pretend to verify the facts, parroting the Arab claims no matter how dubious.

Israel will make a series of goodwill gestures to the Palestinian Authority following a meeting between Defense Minister Benny Gantz and PA President Mahmoud Abbas on Sunday night, Gantz announced on Monday. Among the economic gestures Gantz offered Abbas at the late-night meeting was a half-billion shekel loan.

The two men also spoke about ways to regulate the status of thousands of West Bank Palestinians who lack documentation, as well as ways to streamline digital VAT accounting for all Palestinian businesses that make purchases from Israel. Many of the permit applications for Palestinians will be digitized in order to streamline the process and make it easier and cheaper.

The moves also include allowing an additional 15,000 Palestinians to work in Israel and the Civil Administration approving more building in Area C of the West Bank, which is under full IDF military and civilian control.

Erakat derides the Abraham Accords on the grounds that Israel is only making peace with "U.S.-backed authoritarian regimes." One wonders whether her opposition is to the "US-backed" part or the "authoritarian" part. Given that every Muslim-majority state in the Middle East is an authoritarian regime, that means that Erakat is against Israel making peace with any state at all. This "human rights" attorney isn't interested in the problem that every Muslim and Arab country in the region is authoritarian - she is upset that Israel makes peace with any of them.

Her statement reveals that she is not anti-authoritarianism, but anti-peace - with Israel.

If someone opposes a peace agreement with Israel - and keep in mind that the peace agreements with Egypt and Jordan were brokered under Democratic presidents, and their regimes are equally authoritarian - that means that you are against Israel's existence altogether and oppose the very idea of Jewish self-determination.

How, exactly, would Israel's disappearance enhance human rights in the Middle East? Would the Palestinian Arabs enjoy more freedom and more rights?

We all know the answer to that, based on Erakat's next sentence, where she notes that the Palestinian Authority arrests protesters. (Calling them "human rights defenders" is a little bit of a stretch.) She blames Israel for this, of course, as if these arrests were outsourced by Israel.

The Arabs enjoying the highest level of human rights in the Middle East are those who live in Israel. Israel's erasure, which Erakat clearly desires, would make things far worse for them, and probably for all Arabs whose regimes are at least a little shamed by Israel's human rights record compared to their own.

Opposing the Abraham Accords is a pretty good indication you don't really care about peace - or human rights

The New York Times has twice in the past week turned reality on its head by effectively declaring the creation of ‘Palestine.’

On August 23, Will Shortz, editor of the NYT’s crossword puzzle, produced a “clue” referring to the “Largest city in the Palestinian state.”

August 23, 2021 New York Times crossword puzzle claiming there is a “Palestinian state.”

​

Statehood is a UN fact, not a New York Times opinion​

While the United Nations General Assembly in 2012 voted to accept ‘Palestine’ as a non-member observer state, this did not confer full sovereignty upon the government in Ramallah. In fact, recognition of statehood is contingent on the recommendation of the Security Council. Accordingly, the current status of ‘Palestine’ is the same as that of the Holy See (Vatican), which is clearly not an independent country.

For good measure, consider this quote from the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development website:

While the State of Israel was established on 15 May 1948 and admitted to the United Nations, a Palestinian State was not established.”

Path to statehood goes through Oslo, not the New York Times​

Meanwhile, there is an actual mechanism in place to facilitate the creation of ‘Palestine’ — and it has nothing to do with The New York Times seemingly injecting its own politics into the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

The Oslo Accords forged in 1993 between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) led to the creation of the Palestinian Authority (PA) the next year. The agreement was based on a promise by the Palestinian leadership to renounce terrorism and resolve all outstanding issues with Israel via bilateral negotiations.

This did not happen.

Notably, the Oslo Accords did not create ‘Palestine’ but, rather, granted the PLO and later the PA a measure of autonomy in parts of the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

What do you think is the top priority of the various human rights representatives of the 22 member states? Abuse of women and laws (like polygamy and inheritance laws) that ensure second class status for women? The laws that many Arab states have against criticizing the government? Going after free speech of citizens on social media?

Obviously, no. The top item on the agenda is "Israeli violations and racist practices in the occupied Arab territories" - coincidentally, the one thing they cannot possibly do anything about and the one thing they can all agree upon.

Speaking of coincidences, condemning Israel also happened to be the top agenda item at the 47th, 46th and 45th sessions of the Arab League Human Rights Committee.

Other topics will be touched upon, of course. The committee will decide on a slogan for Arab Human Rights Day for 2022. It will consider a draft of an "Arab Convention to Combat Violence against Women and Girls and Domestic Violence." There is an agenda item on the rights of those with disabilities.

All of the topics are designed to avoid the real issue of actual human rights abuses by Arab governments.

Clearly, the entire purpose of the Arab Human Rights Committee is to shield Arab nations from accusations of human rights abuses, by pretending that they take human rights seriously.

I've never seen international human rights NGOs call out these issues. Mostly because they look at human rights the same way: primarily as a weapon against Israel.
