1. UNRWA textbooks which do not match UN values of peaceful reconciliation. The agency has introduced a new schoolbook which features Dalal el Mugrabi – whose terror squad commandeered a bus and murdered 38 passengers, including 13 children – as a role model for UNRWA pupils. In the new UNRWA text, Dalal is portrayed in full terror garb, followed by a lesson plan which presents her life story for adulation and emulation. In another new text, UNRWA pupils are taught to chant and sing a poem which encourages children to “exterminate the usurpers” after the Arabs return to control of Palestine. The new commissioner could confiscate such textbooks.

2. UNRWA contracts for exclusive use of Palestinian Authority schoolbooks in Judea, Samaria, Jerusalem and Gaza. Like all UN agencies, UNRWA is supposed to run schools based on the UN slogan “Peace Begins Here.” PA education, however, runs schools based on the ideology of the Palestine Liberation Organization: Conquest of Palestine by force of arms. The new commissioner can cancel the UNRWA-PA contract.

3. UNRWA schools are adorned with posters and murals of “martyrs” who died while murdering Jews. The new UNRWA commissioner can order the removal of all violent images in agency facilities.

4. El Kutla youth clubs in UNRWA schools inspire pupils with the mantra of the armed struggle from a young age. The new UNRWA commissioner can order El Kutla clubs to cease and desist from violent incitement.

5. Military parades frequent UNRWA premises. The new commissioner can order an end to military parades in any UNRWA facility.

Palestinian Banks Heed Warning of Israeli NGO,
Block Access to Terrorist Accounts

Palestinian banks moved to protect themselves ahead of a new Israeli anti-terrorism law that comes into effect May 9 and would leave them liable to be sued if they continued to accept tens of millions of dollars monthly in pay-for-slay money from the PA.

By Yakir Benzion, United With Israel

One of the architects of a new Israeli law to stop the Palestinians from paying salaries and stipends to convicted terrorists and their families said Friday he was “loving it” that Palestinian banks are blocking access to terrorists’ bank accounts.

“Palestine Media Watch is glad to see that the banks heeded our warning and are taking the steps necessary to avoid both criminal and civil liability,” Maurice Hirsch told United With Israel.

Hirsch is director of Legal Strategies at the media watchdog organization and heads PMW’s legal campaign to stop the “pay-for-slay” phenomenon. The Palestinian Authority (PA) pays $150 million annually to the families of Palestinians who were killed in attacks against Israelis, including mass murders like car bombings and suicide bombings, and to terrorists in jail convicted of attacking or killing Israelis.


“The fact that the Palestinian Authority has paid billions of shekels of rewards to terrorists is despicable,” Hirsch said.

Last month, his organization sent a letter warning the banks to drop the accounts of convicted terrorists who get paid by the PA. Banks that continued to maintain the accounts of terrorists would expose their management and employees to liability as “partners in crime.”

“As Palestinian Media Watch warned the banks that operate in the PA controlled areas, the new anti-terrorism law criminalizes every aspect of that practice, including the provision of banking services to the terrorists,” Hirsch explained.

Last week, Hirsch said that after more than a $1 billion payout over the years for Pay-for-Slay, the goal of the new law is to “close the noose around this disgraceful policy.” “The time has come for Israel to more actively and aggressively contend with the PA policy,” he said.

HYPOCRISY: Amnesty Blasts Palestinians for Jailing Dissenters, But Ignores Own Employee Who Turned in ‘Collaborator’ to Hamas

The human rights group criticized the Palestinians for jailing dissenters, despite the fact that one of its own operatives turned in an innocent Palestinian for daring to work with Israelis during the corona pandemic.

On Thursday, human rights group Amnesty International blasted Palestinian regimes in Judea and Samaria and the Gaza Strip for arresting those critical of their policies.

Ironically, an Amnesty employee was at the center of one of the more egregious incidents involving Hamas’ crackdown on freedom of expression.

In mid-April, Amnesty’s Hind Khoudary, who identified herself as an “international research consultant” for the organization, exposed journalist Rami Aman of the Gaza Youth Committee for participating in a video conference with Israelis on Zoom to strategize responses to the coronavirus pandemic.

It is common knowledge in the Gaza Strip that individuals who “collaborate” with Israelis, even peace activists, are subject to torture, harassment, and other forms of retribution.

Khoudary “denounced Aman in a Facebook post – now inaccessible – and tagged three Hamas officials,” after which Aman was arrested and “has not been heard from since,” The Algemeiner reported

Khoudary was immediately castigated for putting Aman in tremendous danger at the hands of Hamas’ brutal enforcers.

Human Rights Watch official Peter Bouckaert, who is generally critical of Israel, told Khoudary, “You should be ashamed of yourself,” adding, “It is disgusting that a so-called ‘journalist’ got an activist for dialogue arrested by Hamas. Conflicts are resolved through dialogue and understanding, not hatred.”

Khoudary tweeted back at Bouckaert, “Being ashamed of myself for fighting normalization with Israel?”

Both the Palestinian Authority and its counterpart in the Gaza Strip, the Hamas terror group, have a lengthy history of crushing dissent and closely monitoring the press, punishing those who stray from party lines.

Israel remains one of the only nations in the Middle East that protects freedom of expression and guards individuals’ and the press’ right to speak without fear of retribution.

In its letter on Thursday, Amnesty recounted Aman’s horrific ordeal, but refused to mention Khoudary’s name even once.

“The [Palestinian] authorities in both the [Judea and Samaria] and Gaza Strip have violated the right to freedom of expression by arbitrarily detaining individuals solely for peacefully sharing their views on social media. This must immediately stop,” said Saleh Higazi, Deputy Middle East director at Amnesty International.

The letter also mentioned incidents in Judea and Samaria, including one in which a former member of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah party was arrested for criticizing the ailing Palestinian ruler, who has refused to hold elections for 11 years.

While the Palestinian Authority refused to comment on the Amnesty missive, Iyad al-Bozum, spokesman for the Hamas-run Interior Ministry in Gaza, dismissed Amnesty’s criticism, AP reported.

“There are no detainees on freedom of expression and the names mentioned had committed violations punishable by law and have nothing to do with political opinion or color,” he said.

Amnesty called for all those detained in related matters to be released.

The arguments about whether Israel should have created Jewish communities in both the West Bank and the parts of Jerusalem that were illegally occupied by Jordan between 1948 and 1967 are now moot. The Jewish state’s enemies don’t recognize the historical, religious and legal arguments that Israel rightly points to as allowing Jews to settle in the heart of its ancient homeland. But the Palestinians have repeatedly rejected such offers, including those that would have given them an independent state provided that they were willing to end their century-long war on Zionism. Had they accepted any one of them over the course of the last 20 years, discussion about the settlements would not even be on the table.

So in the absence of a Palestinian desire to recognize the legitimacy of a Jewish state, no matter where its borders are drawn, Israel has three choices.

The Land of the GenerousI vow I shall sacrifice my blood, to saturate the land of the generous
And will eliminate the usurper from my country, and will annihilate the remnants of the foreigners.
Oh the land of Al-Aqsa and the Haram, oh cradle of chivalry and generosity
Patient, be patient as victory is ours, dawn is emerging from the oppression.
(Our Beautiful Language, Grade 3, Vol. 2, 2016–17, p 64. )

A new academic paper in Settler Colonial Studies by Nadia Naser-Najjab of the University of Exeter justifies such lessons taught to children - and condemns any attempt by Europe or Israel to eliminate the incitement to terror in such textbooks as a colonialist attack on Palestinian society.

The paper, "Palestinian education and the ‘logic of elimination’", includes doubletalk like this to condone teaching terrorism (which she whitewashes as "resistance"):

I seek to make it quite clear that what is at stake is not the upholding of values of objectivity and neutrality but rather the desire – which is barely concealed – todisallow or delegitimise Palestinian resistance....

I place Israel’s attempts to control Palestinian education in historical, political and, perhaps most crucially of all, colonial, context. I argue that these interventions are part of a conscious and deliberate attempt to deny the legitimacy of resistance to occupation....

Three Gulf states reach out to Israel for help battling COVID-19 pandemic

UAE and Bahrain have been in touch with Ramat Gan’s Sheba hospital for months; now a third country — likely Kuwait — has asked for help erecting telemedicine facilities

Three states in the Arab Gulf are actively engaged in cooperation with Israel’s health system, with one having recently asked for help installing an advanced telemedicine system to confront the coronavirus pandemic, a senior official at one of the country’s leading hospitals said Sunday.

Top representatives from Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates have been in regular touch with the Sheba Medical Center since before the current health crisis, said Yoel Hareven, who heads the hospital’s international division. But in March, a high-ranking member of the Emirati royal family privately visited the hospital in Ramat Gan and has since remained in weekly contact, Hareven said.

In addition, a third country in the Gulf that is not known to have strong ties with Israel recently reached out to Sheba with a request for help installing telemedicine solutions to treat COVID-19 patients from afar, something Sheba has specialized in, he said.

Hareven refused to name the third country, but was likely referring to Kuwait.

“There is a growing readiness to interact with us, even openly, in the health sphere,” he said. “These things happen slowly, but they happen, maybe not at the [inter-governmental] level as we would have liked, but things are happening.”

Hareven said he was certain that the job the unnamed country gave Sheba will lead to future cooperation between the two governments.

‘Heinous racism,’ is how the Geneva-based Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor described a recent decision by Lebanese authorities to bar Palestinian refugee expats from returning to Lebanon.

Lebanon’s restrictions on its ever-diminishing population of Palestinian refugees is nothing new. However, this event is particularly alarming as it may be linked to a long-term official policy regarding the residency status of Palestinian refugees in this Arab country.

Many were taken aback by a recent Lebanese government’s order to its embassy in the United Arab Emirates, instructing it to prevent Palestinian refugees from returning to their homes in Lebanon.

Tariq Hajjar, a legal advisor to the Euro-Med Monitor said in a statement that “the circular includes heinous racial discrimination against Palestinian refugees holding Lebanese travel documents.”

WATCH: ‘The Palestinians Lost, We Want Relations with Israel,’ Saudi Analyst Tells BBC

“Relations with Israel have gone beyond normalization. The relations have reached a very warm level,” commented Abdulhameed Al-Ghobain to BBC Arabic.

“We care about national interests, not the Palestinians,” said Saudi Arabian writer and political commentator Abdulhameed Al-Ghobain recently during an interview with BBC Arabic.

Al-Ghobain explained that the majority of Saudis acknowledge that the Palestinians “have lost” but are “emotionally” incapable of taking actions in their best interest to resolve the conflict with Israel.

“[Our] public has turned against the Palestinians in general. They have not contributed anything,” Al-Ghobain added.

Palestinian Propagandist Deletes Fauxtography After Getting Caught; Replaces It With More Fauxtography


Yesterday I exposed some palestinian fauxtography from a tweeter called Marian Ghnem. Following my post, they deleted the tweet in question – which showed a child from Pakistan, not Gaza

and replaced it with a new tweet

Yup, you guessed it:

An Afghan boy leans against a wall as he cries on the outskirts of Kabul on October 4, 2011. Afghanistan is at the bottom of the Mothers’ Index, compiled by the nonprofit group Save the Children, shows mothers and their children endure “grim conditions,” with one in six kids dying before age five and one in three suffering from malnutrition. AFP PHOTO/SHAH Marai (Photo credit should read SHAH MARAI/AFP via Getty Images)

Consider for a second what happened: A palestinian propagandist deliberately tweets out a photo from Pakistan, trying to pass it off as a photo from Gaza. Gets caught. Deletes the offending tweet. Proceeds to search for a new misleading photo.

This is really like a game of whack-a-mole.

This event didn't take place in a remote village, but rather in a busy area – the Mount of Olives, where my parents are buried. It showed the unbearable ease in which Jews are attacked on roads as part of what is called "stone terrorism". What causes this unbearable ease in which stone-throwing happens on a daily basis? It is a forgiving attitude, that can be seen in the sugarcoated term "populist terror," which we on the Israeli side have also adopted. Including both the legal system, and the security/police system.

And that's how stone throwers, who just left a school belonging to the Ministry of Education, after an intelligence effort was implemented to catch them after they were involved in yet another stoning ambush, are released because a judge did not allow more than 48 hours of interrogation. And that's how the youngsters learn that attacking Jews, citizens, and fighters, can continue. The interrogation officer said he had to let one of the parents be present during the questioning since he was a minor, who told him to stay silent. And even if they had confessed and gone to trial, the punishment would have been in accordance.




Here is the price list for stone-throwing: three to seven months. If injured by stone-throwing, the "populist" terrorist will get between one year to 18 months, if the injuries aren't permanent. Get it? The murderer of the Golani Reconnaissance Battalion fighter could have been caught after an earlier stone-throwing – that didn't cause damage – and would have gotten a slap on the wrist which sends a negative message: try again until you succeed.

Crucially, Zureiq emphasized, “We must admit our mistakes…and recognize the extent of our responsibility for the disaster that is our lot.”

Zureiq, who taught in Lebanon, here isn’t talking about Palestinian responsibility but of broader Arab responsibility. Yet his lesson has been ignored for 72 years while the term remained, in a twisted form, to refer to Palestinian victimhood at the hands of the criminal Zionists.

It is ironic that Zureiq was correct – and his analysis of Arab responsibility for the Palestinians being stateless remains true not only for history but for today.

Even if one would accept the Arab lies of how Israel is evil incarnate and committed the most horrific massacres in 1948 and physically expelled the Arabs, there is a very basic question that no one asks: why are the Palestinians still in misery today, in Syria and Jordan and Lebanon? Why are they stateless today in the entire Arab world outside the ones who lived in the West Bank in 1949 and have since moved to Jordan?

The responsibility for Palestinian suffering for 72 years is entirely from their fellow Arabs, usually with the excuse that it was necessary to keep the Palestinian issue alive.

The Arab League decision in the 1950s to disallow Palestinians to gain citizenship in member countries remains one of the most vicious attacks on Palestinian rights in history – but it was ostensibly to keep Palestinian unity and nurture Palestinian nationalism, which was practially nonexistent at the time.

IF the Israeli actually execute this annexation with fanesse in the frame of radical improvements [infrastructure expansion and improvements, economy (reduction in unemployment and underemployment), commerce, education, microbusinesses (very small scale), direct involvement and greater influence over the self-governing institutions and subdivisions] it will become obvious what damage the Arab Palestinian leadership has caused.

It will take the wind out of the sails of those in the gallery of critics.

Busted: Israel Exposes European Sources Bankrolling Palestinian Terror

The E.U.’s decision to continue funding to Palestinian “civil society” organizations with terror links sets a “dangerous precedent,” says Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Gilad Erdan.

Money donated by European governments and private individuals is making its way into the coffers of terrorist organizations, according to a new report by Israel’s Strategic Affairs Ministry.

The ministry issued the report after the European Union announced it would be funding Palestinian “civil society organizations” even if they include members who support terrorism. According to the report’s findings, Palestinian activists have established a way of securing European monetary donations that allow them to carry out terrorist activity in addition to civil society work.

“The links to civil society entities in the West allow them a way of securing financial assistance that they could not receive any other way,” the report states.

In the past two years, Israel’s Shin Bet security agency has exposed a number of incidents in which Hamas took control of money belonging to aid organizations active in the Gaza Strip, and in some cases used them for military purposes against Israel.

One notable example was a case of European donations that went to fund terrorists involved in the murder of Rina Schnerb in the summer of 2019. Samar Arbid, head of the cell that killed Schnerb, 17, and wounded her brother in an attack at a spring near the town of Dolev in Samaria, played a key role in an organization named Addameer, a “prisoner support and human rights organization” according to its website.

Other members of the same cell earned a living from European government donations to “civil society groups.”

Last Thursday, Israel reprimanded Emmanuel Joffre, the head of an E.U. delegation to Israel, for the announcement that such funding would continue.

Rina Schnerb’s father, Eitan, is now joining the calls to block E.U. funding from reaching terrorists. In a public appeal to the Europeans, Schnerb wrote, “I was amazed to discover that Arbid was a member of the ‘human rights group’ Addameer. How can it be that people who sanctify death are active in human rights groups? How can it be that for years, they have been receiving millions of euros in aid from European nations?

“I have no doubt that European countries do not support terrorism and the murder of innocent people. However, they certainly understand that the links between Palestinian civil groups and terrorist organizations is a reality that must be condemned. I urge you: Do not turn a blind eye. Do not allow yourselves to be duped. Do not lend a hand, a platform, or funding to these organizations.”
