Palestinian industry of lies....

Palestine Today posted this video last week that it says shows "New batches of settlers storm the courtyards of Al-Aqsa Mosque."

The video shows religious Jews praying at Lion's Gate, one of the gates to the Old City, 200 meters away from the Temple Mount.



Similarly, it posted this video that is says shows "The window of the Al-Qibli prayer hall in Al-Aqsa set on fire due to the occupation's throwing of bombs."

No, it is a Molotov cocktail prepared inside the "holy" mosque that prematurely got set on fire, and then they threw it.

Yes, Palestinians started a fire in a mosque on the Temple Mount.



People assume that captions are accurate, so they believe what the captions say they are looking at.

There are a lot of ways to lie. Palestinians have discovered all of them.

We Counted Palestinian Luxury Cars | (UNEXPECTED ENDING)


A former New York Times editor made a claim that Israelis drive fast cars down super highways whilst Palestinians make their way to their homes and villages via dirt roads on donkey carts. We decided that we should hit the streets and find out what kind of cars Palestinian-Arabs in Judea and Samaria really drive.

We probably had too much fun filming today’s adventure show. In the process, we’re grateful to have shed more truth on the real situation in Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria.



 
The articles put quote marks around the statement, but it is not even close to what the police statement said.

The police statement:


We call on the public not to listen to fake news and this wild incitement, which is mostly spread on social media by hostile parties with a foreign interest. It will be clarified that there is no change and no change is planned in the status quo that has existed for many years on the Temple Mount and the holy places in general, both in the context of Muslim prayers there or of tourist visits from abroad and Israelis according to accepted visiting hours. Anyone who upsets the order, incites violence, riots and acts of violence of any kind - will be treated harshly and with zero tolerance. Any support, identification or activity within the framework of terrorist organizations will be handled by the security forces with determination and with all the forces and means at our disposal.
The "quote" from Palestinian media:
"No change will be made in the arrangements for the Jews to storm Al-Aqsa tomorrow,. These procedures have been followed for years. There will be no change in the settlers' behavior in the courtyards of Al-Aqsa tomorrow, and there is no change to the status quo, and that the settlers' incursions are part of the procedures followed for years and at specific hours."
They even lie with quotes!

Readers of a May 3 Indy op-ed by Ramallah based academic Amjad Abu el Ezz were told that a Palestinian man named Fawaz Hamayel was “murdered” by Israeli occupation forces” last month in “cold-blooded execution” – meaning, for no reason at all.

Here’s the headline and strap line of the op-ed:

Here’s a paragraph from the piece:

Screenshot-2022-05-03-9.32.19-AM.png


This is a lie.

Fawaz Hamayel was killed in clashes with Israeli soldiers near Nablus on April 13th in the context of ongoing counter-terror actions in Beita and other northern West Bank locations in response to a wave of deadly Palestinian attacks against Israelis. According to reports, including even in the Guardian, Hamayel was killed while participating in a violent riot, which included throwing petrol bombs at soldiers.

Even the official Palestinian Authority’s official news outlet WAFA, and Iran’s PressTV, avoided describing Hamayel’s death as a “murder” or “execution”, instead writing that he was killed during “clashes” with Israeli soldiers. It’s one thing to say that events surrounding his death are disputed, but the op-ed’s characterisation of his death, as if it’s a fact, as a “murder” and “cold-blooded” Israeli “execution” clearly should have been flagged by editors.

There is no indication of any inhabitation. Two of them are ruins (as described in detail in the article) and the other two are descriptors of areas. The PEF did not record any village nor orchard or farmland; indeed no hint of any residents. It is all desert and dried up wadis.

So much for the lie that Palestinians have lived there for generations.

What about more recently?

This Guardian article (linked to in Wikipedia) claims that Ariel Sharon said in the 1980s that he wanted to create an IDF firing zone there in order to expel the residents there at the time.

According to the minutes of a 1981 ministerial meeting, the then agriculture minister, Ariel Sharon, later prime minister, proposed creating Firing Zone 918 with the explicit intention of forcing local Palestinians from their homes.
This is indeed a Haaretz headline from 2020:



But the article itself quotes nothing about evicting existing residents. It says that Sharon wanted to stop the migration of illegal Palestinian outposts that were spreading to that area:


The document – minutes of a July 1981 meeting of the Ministerial Committee for Settlement Affairs – indicates that Ariel Sharon, who was the minister of agriculture at the time, proposed that land in the South Hebron Hills be allocated to the Israel Defense Force for live-fire training. Sharon explained that he wanted the military to use the land on account of “the expansion of the Arab villagers from the hills.”

He prefaced his remarks by saying: “I want to tell the representatives of the general staff, we want to offer you additional training areas. Additional training areas must be closed in at the border, [between] the bottom of the Hebron Hills and the Judean Desert. In light of that phenomenon – the spreading of the Arab villagers on the mountainside toward the desert.”

Sharon added: “We have an interest in expanding and enlarging the shooting zones there, in order to keep these areas, which are so vital, in our hands... Many additional areas for training could be added, and we have a great interest in [the army] being in that place.” An IDF representative said in response: “We’d be very happy to have that.” Later in the meeting it was decided that the agriculture minister’s adviser on settlement affairs would meet with representatives from the IDF and show them the places marked for additional shooting zones “to keep the areas in our hands.”

The plain meaning is that the areas were under Israeli control already but, then as now, Palestinians were engaging in land grabs by building new outposts in strategic, empty areas to stop Jews from moving there. (And Jews do the exact same thing when they build outposts against Israeli law.)

This is exactly what the High Court ruled - that there was no evidence that there were any Arabs living in the area of Firing Zone 918 before it was declared, as the Jerusalem Post repors:

The ruling further explained that the attorneys representing the Palestinians had failed to provide sufficient evidence to prove that the Palestinian herders had used the land prior to the 1980 declaration or that the 3,000 hectares (approximately 7,400 acres) in question were a firing zone.
Palestinian activists can argue about whether the firing zone being built to block Arabs from building illegally in Area C in empty areas is legal under Israeli law. (I see no reason why not.) They are argue that today there are residents, legal or not, and they have rights not to be evicted.

But they have no evidence that these were pre-existing villages. On the contrary, there is every indication that Palestinians moved to the firing zone area, deliberately and illegally, to do a land grab in Area C.

The lies are everywhere. The Israeli government and IDF does a really poor job of spreading the truth.

Blogger Jonathan Hoffman has written a detailed review of ‘Eleven Days in May‘, a film described as an ‘homage to the children killed in Gaza’ during last year’s war, and which has received largely positive reviews in the British media. The film is screening in theaters in London and throughout the UK.

Hoffman cites important facts, omitted from the film, about the circumstances surrounding the deaths of the Palestinian children. ‘Eleven Days in May’ is a work of propaganda which erases the context of Hamas terror, their use of human shields, as well as the terror group’s overall indifference to Palestinian lives. Let’s remember that not one Palestinian child would have died if Hamas hadn’t decided to launch a completely unprovoked barrage of rockets at Jerusalem on May 10 – starting a war they knew they’d lose and would result in death and destruction in the territory they govern.

Here are the important excerpts from Hoffman’s post.

PLO newspaper: Jews fabricated the Holocaust, Hitler was Jewish, Jews are murderous



Dr. Jamal Abu Nahl, a regular columnist for the Palestinian Al Hayat Press agency - aligned with the PLO - published a screed against Jews on Wednesday. Excerpts:

A great shock hit the world after the killing of the Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, by the bullets of the Nazi Zionist occupation army gang, especially since this crime is added to the black record of the crimes of the occupation, which is full of heinous crimes and massacres.

But it is not the first crime of this murderous, criminal occupation, because their black and bloody history is filled with a sea of blood, massacres, and murders that still continue on a daily and continuous basis.

The Holocaust of the Jews is a Zionist fabrication that was exaggerated in the media in order to sympathize with the world at that time, to help them establish the Zionist entity on the Palestinian national soil, and on the ruins of the Palestinian people, to be a poisoned dagger in the heart of the Arab world, and a guard dog for the interests of the West in the vicinity of the countries of the Arab Ring! Yes, the Holocaust was a fabricated story by killing a Jew at the hands of another Jew in order to facilitate the rape and occupation of Palestine!

The Jews are historically famous for their treachery and bloodshed! ; That is why the Jewish Hitler killed his fellow Jews - and for this, the Jews went crazy from the statement of Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, and considered him to have committed a major crime, a Jewish religious and historical taboo by saying: “Adolf Hitler has Jewish blood”; And the senior Russian political minister's allusion to the Jewish Hitler's involvement in the crime against the Jews is considered a blow to the Jewish-Zionist narrative based on the tragedy of the "Holocaust", to be a justification for your global sympathy in order to contribute to the establishment of the Zionist occupation entity!

To satisfy the Zionists, Western governments imposed the inclusion of the "false Holocaust" history to be included in their educational curricula! Likewise, it enacted laws that incriminate and criminalize those who doubt it, and even punish those who commit any attempt to “review history” and verify this or deny the existence of the “Holocaust” and face severe deterrent punishments, up to murder, assassination, and execution!

This is not a very unusual article.

As always, the issue isn't one article written by one hateful little man (who lists a large number of credentials.)

It is that not a single Palestinian ever stands up and dissociates himself or herself from this hate.

Amusingly, Al Hayat Press describes itself this way:

We do not monopolize the truth, and we believe that every issue has two sides, so we will open our pages to all directions without discrimination, and we will respect the other opinion even if it differs with ours, as long as it comes within the framework of commitment to the etiquette of dialogue and difference, away from insults, defamation and slander, a method that contradicts our values, norms and morals. , before it contradicts legal norms, and we always investigate accuracy in transmitting news, and our motto is not important to rush with the most important news to put the right news.

There ya go.
