If you don't want rocks, don't go there.

You don't need a PhD.

Definitely, you do need a PhD.

But.....you....getting one....highly unlikely.

Your feelings about Jews will definitely get in the way.

Throwing rocks at Jews is more of the PhD you will get.

All too often, the anti-Israel narratives at the United Nations run directly against the reality on the ground. Around the same time Palestinian rioters were attacking the Jewish holy site of Joseph’s Tomb, the UN’s latest anti-Israel inquiry was willingly lending its ear to someone who had just a week earlier used a pair of events to claim the Muslim holy site of al-Aqsa Mosque was in danger.

On April 9, just a few days before Passover, Palestinian rioters attacked and severely damaged the Jewish holy site of Joseph’s Tomb in Nablus. This isn’t the only attack on Joseph’s Tomb. On September 26, 1996, a Palestinian mob attacked and firebombed the same site, killing six Israelis. Attacks in 2000 and 2011 each led to the death of an Israeli. Multiple firebombing attacks occurred in 2015, in 2016 a Molotov cocktail was thrown at Jewish worshippers at the site, and on August 31, 2016, another shooting attack wounded an Israeli.

The deadly September 1996 attack is particularly relevant. It had been incited by claims that a “tunnel” being dug at the Temple Mount was threatening al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. As Charles Krauthammer wrote in TIME Magazine a couple weeks later:
----------
Notably, during the March 31 meeting with the COI, Barakeh falsely accused Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett of the same type of incitement Barakeh himself engaged in five days earlier. According to the Palestinian Authority’s Wafa News Agency (and confirmed by Adalah’s press release):

“[Barakeh] also expressed deep concern about Israeli authorities giving out weapons to right-wing settler groups, especially after Israel’s Prime Minister called on citizens, earlier this week, to take up arms and use them against Palestinians in the streets.”

None of this is true. What Bennett actually said, following several attacks deep inside Israel amidst a wave of deadly terrorism not seen since 2006, was:

“As of now, soldiers in mandatory, career and reserve service, from rifle-level 3 and up, will carry their weapons home from their bases. We are also currently evaluating a larger framework to involve civilian volunteers who want to help and be of assistance. What is expected of you, citizens of Israel? Alertness and responsibility. Open your eyes. Whoever has a license to carry a weapon, this is the time to carry it.”

Yet the narrative heard by the COI, delivered by Barakeh, is the one they almost certainly wanted to hear to confirm the conclusions they had reached even before the COI was formed. Like the UN in 1996, the COI will almost certainly ignore the dangerous levels of incitement and violence against Israelis and Jewish holy sites and pin the blame instead on imaginary Jewish incitement and threats against Islamic holy sites.

When the COI delivers its report in June, barring a radical awakening by the commissioners, it will once again spew largely baseless slander against the Jewish state. As in the past, media coverage of these reports will likely overlook the extremely shoddy, unprofessional nature of the “investigation,” the heavily biased background of the “investigators,” and the context of who the commissioners chose to seek out. For those who value honest, fact-based discourse, it will be essential to remember details like the COI’s meeting with Barakeh when reviewing the report’s conclusions.

A Guardian article – via Agence France Presse – focused on Palestinians killed and injured in clashes with Israeli troops who’ve been engaged in anti-terror operations in West Bank cities in response to the four recent terror attacks that claimed 14 Israeli lives in the past three weeks.

The article (“Palestinian lawyer and teen killed as Israel raids West Bank amid escalating violence”, April 13) reported on two recent Palestinian fatalities, and opened thusly:

A Palestinian lawyer and a teenager have been killed on the fifth day of Israeli raids in the West Bank following deadly attacks in the Jewish state, amid heightened tensions after a religious site was vandalised.

Which religious site was vandalised, and who vandalised it?

Nine paragraphs down, we finally learn which “religious site” they’re referring to, but not who vandalised it.

Violent clashes had erupted earlier in the day in Nablus, where Israeli forces were escorting a work crew that came to repair Joseph’s Tomb.
The site is sacred to Jews and was smashed in an act of vandalism last weekend.

Fourteen paragraphs down from that sentence, we’re told the following:

The holy site, where Jews say the Biblical patriarch Joseph is buried, is a frequent flashpoint between Israelis and Palestinians. It was partially destroyed in 2000 during a Palestinian uprising and also torched in 2015.

Remarkably, the article never gets around to mentioning that – like the 2015 torching and 2000 destruction they allude to – the recent attack(s) on Joseph’s Tomb were committed by Palestinians. In fact, there were two separate Palestinian attacks on the Jewish holy site earlier in the week, as well as a shooting of two Jews who entered the site after the first act of vandalism.

According to an IDF spokesperson, on the first night, April 9th, roughly a hundred Palestinians broke into the site, which is located in Area A of the West Bank, under complete Palestinian Authority (PA) control, rioted, set the Tomb ablaze and smashed objects inside before being dispersed by IDF forces and PA security.

Now, here’s what really happened:

Around 4 a.m. on Friday morning, dozens of Palestinians began marching around al-Aqsa Mosque (some carrying banners associated with Hamas), started breaking stones and them throwing them at police and Jewish worshipers at the Western Wall below – while stockpiling more rocks at the mosque to prepare for further attacks. Palestinians later barricaded themselves inside the mosque and hurled stones and fireworks toward officers . The violence prevented large numbers of Muslim from worshiping at al-Aqsa.

Police moved in to quell the riot only after morning prayers were concluded.

Here’s some footage:
