It is too complicated for you.

It is too complicated for you.

Throwing opposition off roofs is not seizing power?

Or the legislated rule in Hamas politics...

How Many Gaza Palestinians Were Killed by Hamas Rockets in May? An Estimate

Much of the coverage and commentary surrounding the fighting in May between Hamas and Israel has focused on numbers, especially the much larger number of Palestinians than Israelis killed. The number

besacenter.org

As explained below, an analysis of the best information currently available indicates that about 91 Palestinians were probably killed by off-course Palestinian rockets.

I’ve been handing out the Candy all day.

From the official Palestinian Wafa news agency:

President Mahmoud Abbas today declared a 30-day state of emergency in Palestine to combat the COVID-19 pandemic.

The state of emergency was first declared in March 2020 after the discovery of the first cases of coronavirus in the Palestinian territories.

The state of emergency gives the government the power to act in any way it deems necessary to combat the pandemic.

I have not seen any articles about a new wave of Covid-19 in the West Bank. There has been a slight uptick in the last couple of weeks, but the rate is way below Israel's. At its recent peak there have been two deaths a week.


As far as I can tell, he is not automatically extending an old state of emergency every 30 days. According to Xinhua:

The state of emergency was first declared in March 2020 after the discovery of the first coronavirus cases in the Palestinian territories. It was last extended or re-declared in January this year, local media reported.

Under the state of emergency, the government is empowered to take any step it deems necessary to fight the pandemic.

I cannot find a single Palestinian news site that questioned this announcement. They just parroted it. They didn't even elaborate on it, showing a rise in cases or in deaths.

And on Mahmoud Abbas' Facebook page, the announcement was greeted with Soviet-style unanimous praise for his great insight and wisdom:


If there was a free press, people would be asking questions why Abbas just added emergency powers on top of his already dictatorial powers over the executive, judicial and legislative branches of Palestinian government.

World leaders and media still treat the Palestinian president and his government as if they are rational leaders. If anyone would read their own media and government websites for a couple of weeks with a critical eye, the levels of dysfunction would be obvious. And there is something very rotten about this "state of emergency."

Abbas declares a state of emergency for Covid, which hasn't been a problem at all. No one questions him.

Soliman Hijjy, a freelance filmmaker whose work has been featured by the Times between 2018 and 2021, praised Adolf Hitler in a 2012 Facebook post, writing "How great you are, Hitler" in Arabic, according to Akiva Van Koningsveld, editor of the pro-Israel media watchdog HonestReporting.

The Palestinian Authority’s latest celebrity terrorist “Martyr” is Ibrahim Al-Nabulsi. He was a member of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades (Fatah’s military wing) and participated in a series of shooting attacks targeting Israeli soldiers. Al-Nabulsi resisted arrest and shot at Israeli soldiers who returned fire and killed him in Nablus on Aug. 9, 2022. Since then, the PA and Fatah have praised him as a hero and promoted his “last will”: “Let no one ever abandon the rifle.” As Palestinian Media Watch has exposed, the PA constantly reinforces its policy of glorification of terror and terrorists to ensure a constant readiness among Palestinians to use arms and “Martyr” themselves in the fight against Israel. Honoring terrorists is one way of doing this.

Abbas’ Fatah Movement posted terrorist Al-Nabulsi’s farewell video in which he proclaimed “victory or Martyrdom,” labeled the Jewish faith “a falsified lie,” and encouraged others to continue terror:

Terrorist Ibrahim Al-Nabulsi: “Allah, resolve, and victory or Martyrdom.
Your brother Ibrahim Al-Nabulsi,
Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades (i.e., Fatah’s military wing) in Nablus.”
“A people is behind us
We stand and defend it
with its self-sacrificing fighters
Don’t worry, there are heroes who are waiting
There are lions in our land
who set out from among the poor ones
Our faith is like iron, and their (i.e., the Jews’) faith is a falsified lie
Victory is certain
The wild animals here are awe-inspiring
By Allah, O Men, I’m not waiting for an answer”
“I give you a last will: Let no one ever abandon the rifle,
in the name of your honor.”
[Official Fatah Facebook page, Aug. 12, 2022]

Abbas’ Fatah was quick to name a summer camp for young boys after the terrorist: Judging from a photo from the camp showing a boy in military uniform holding an assault rifle behind his back, it would seem Fatah is teaching kids at the camp exactly what terrorist Al-Nabulsi preached: Not to abandon the rifle:

Posted text: “A camp for the members of the Fatah Movement Shabiba High School [Movement] under the title ‘Martyr Ibrahim Al-Nabulsi Camp’ in Hebron.”

It's fine to encourage young females to strap an explosive to their bodies and denote that explosive in a crowd.... but an exposed leg.

“ Zionist contempt for the entire Arab people???” Yet it’s OK to hate and have contempt for the Israelis. .

Hamas was being attacked in Gaza'istan? What opposition was attacking them in the ''country of pal'istan'', which, as we know, was invented in 1924 by the Treaty of Lausanne?

When Hamas was elected, the US gave Fatah $86M in money and weapons to "overturn" the elections.

At the end of 2006, Dayton promised an immediate package worth $86.4 million—money that, according to a U.S. document published by Reuters on January 5, 2007, would be used to “dismantle the infrastructure of terrorism and establish law and order in the West Bank and Gaza.”

An international community worried by the ‘coup’ accusation might endorse the Fayyad government as the seemingly correct position. But the ‘coup’ claim stumbles over a basic problem — that Abbas’s appointing a new prime minister was itself entirely illegal. The new ‘emergency government’ is illegal, too. According to the Basic Law of Palestine (as amended in 2003), which serves as the constitution of the PA, Abbas can do neither of these things.

The ''basic law of pal'istan''. Now that's pretty darn funny. An Islamic terrorist dictator running a welfare fraud syndicate used to make personal fortunes for the dictator and his cronies.
