1. Confusing Cause & Effect​

In a shocking instance of baseless victim blaming, the Associated Press reported that “[IDF] raids have ratcheted up tensions in the [West Bank] area and have been met by a series of Palestinian shooting attacks that killed 19 people in Israel in the spring.” [Emphasis added] In reality, Jerusalem only launched Operation Break the Wave in the West Bank on March 31 in response to a series of terror attacks that had, at that point, taken the lives of 11 Israelis. HonestReporting has reached out to the AP directly to request a correction.

2. Erasing Pay-For-Slay​

The family of Muhammad al-Jabari, who had reportedly received a terminal cancer diagnosis, will be richly rewarded under the Palestinian Authority’s “Pay-for-Slay” program. According to Palestinian Media Watch, Ramallah spends 33.34 times more per capita paying terror stipends than it spends on health services. However, an analysis by HonestReporting shows that in the dozens of media reports about the attack, there was not a single mention of the PA’s practice of offering financial rewards for murdering Israeli civilians, depriving news consumers of vital context.

3. Turning a Blind Eye to Incitement​

As noted by some analysts, attacks like the murder of Ronen Hanania do not occur in a vacuum. Rather, they are the result of systematic and pervasive incitement that starts in the Palestinian Authority education system. It is, therefore, imperative to note that al-Jabari worked as a teacher at the PA-run Jawad Al-Hashlamoun boys school in Hebron, indoctrinating future generations with hate. Furthermore, readers should be made aware that the Palestinian Education Ministry mourned al-Jabari as “the martyr, the hero.”

• It is Fatah “that is sacrificing Martyrs, fighting in the streets, and resisting the occupation”
• Murderer of 3 exemplifies Fatah’s “philosophy”:
  "This is the philosophy of Fatah with all its elements, and Fatah’s members are not waiting for any political decision of any leader in order to carry out a patriotic action. Their Fatah education and conscience is what motivates them. Did Ra’ad Hazem (i.e., terrorist, murdered 3) – a member of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, a Fatah member… wait for a decision by someone? No, only the Palestinian national Fatah education that Fatah educated him on is what motivated him to carry out this operation"

During the current wave of Palestinian terror attacks, a Fatah official has openly explained that Abbas’ movement’s “philosophy” is to “educate” its members to become terrorist murderers. As an example of a Fatah role model, Fatah Revolutionary Council member Muhammad Al-Lahham named Ra’ad Hazem - the terrorist who murdered 3 when he opened fire on a crowded bar on Dizengoff Street in central Tel Aviv on April 7, 2022.

Al-Lahham stressed that the murderer was “a member of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, a Fatah member,” and underlined that the terrorist didn’t “wait for a decision by someone” to order him to attack. Rather it was Fatah’s education that taught him terror: “The Palestinian national Fatah education that Fatah educated him on is what motivated him to carry out this operation.”

Al-Lahham gave additional specific examples of “glorious and great names that Fatah has” who should be emulated, such as the two Fatah Central Committee members, and “Fatah commanders” Karim Younes – terrorist who murdered 1 with an accomplice, and Marwan Barghouti – terrorist who orchestrated attacks in which 5 were murdered:

Fatah Revolutionary Council member Muhammad Al-Lahham: “This is the Fatah Movement whose president, His Honor [PA] President Mahmoud Abbas, speaks about policy, and this is the same Fatah that is sacrificing Martyrs, fighting in the streets, and resisting the occupation. There are two options – the political option and the option of the ground, of the struggle, of self-sacrifice and sacrifice. This is the philosophy of Fatah with all its elements, and Fatah’s members are not waiting for any political decision of any leader in order to carry out a patriotic action. Their Fatah education and conscience is what motivates them. Did Ra’ad Hazem (i.e., terrorist, murdered 3) – a member of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, a Fatah member… wait for a decision by someone? No, only the Palestinian national Fatah education that Fatah educated him on is what motivated him to carry out this operation (i.e., terror attack). There are hundreds and thousands of other Martyrs, fighters, and self-sacrificing fighters. In the occupation’s prisons there are Karim Younes (i.e., murdered 1) and Marwan Barghouti (i.e., planned murder of 5) - [Fatah] Central Committee members, and Fatah commanders. Ahmad Sa’adat (i.e., former head of PFLP terror organization), our great sheikh, [Fuad] Al-Shubaki (i.e., PA official and weapons smuggler), and all the glorious and great names that Fatah has.

Responses to Israeli aggression.

 

[Sixties Fan]

There are stories this morning about how Israel's closure in Nablus has been affecting the businesses there, as shops that sell furniture and other goods who get most of their customers from outside Nablus are losing business.

One might feel a little more sorry for the affected business owners if Palestinians themselves didn't declare their own strikes all the time - that affect these same businesses even more.

Twice in the past two weeks, Palestinians declared general strikes - not only in Nablus but throughout the entire West Bank - in reaction to Israel killing terrorists.

These strikes are declared every time Palestinian groups want them - and how it affects Palestinians themselves is not part of the equation.

It isn't as if these strikes bother Israelis at all. All they do is hurt the Palestinian economy.

So forgive me if I am not so sympathetic to articles blaming a loss of business in Nablus on Israel. There are general Palestinian strikes practically every month, sometimes multiple times a month, sometimes for a couple of municipalities but often throughout the West Bank. No Arabic articles talk about how they affect the Palestinian economy.

No shopkeepers are interviewed about whether they agree with the strikes or not. No economists are consulted to opine on whether a general strike twice a month drops the Palestinian GNP by 5 or 10%.

Imagine how different the Palestinian territories would be if journalists were allowed to cover a story like that.

Palestinians care about their economy....but only when they can blame Israel

Over the summer, the Jerusalem Media and Communications Center surveyed Palestinians and asked them, out of a list of prominent potential successors to Mahmoud Abbas, how much they trust them.

The results are abysmal for nearly everyone who has a chance to be the next leader of the PA, the PLO and Fatah.

Q17. How much trust do you have in the following people: Much, somewhat, no trust or don’t know?

1. Mahmoud Al Aloul
Much trust 8.0
Somewhat trust 18.9
No trust 25.8

2. Jibril Rajoub
Much trust 8.6
Somewhat trust 25.0
No trust 38.3

3. Nasser Qidwa
Much trust 7.6
Somewhat trust 23.3
No trust 27.6

4. Marwan Barghouthi
Much trust 55.2
Somewhat trust 26.3
No trust 7.2

5. Hussein Al Sheikh
Much trust 8.2
Somewhat trust 22.0
No trust 39.8

6. Mohammad Shtayeh
Much trust 13.3
Somewhat trust 31.1
No trust 41.9

7. Ismail Haniyeh
Much trust 17.4
Somewhat trust 23.7
No trust 42.3

8. Yehya Sinwar
Much trust 16.4
Somewhat trust 20.8
No trust 39.4

9. Khaled Meshaal
Much trust 14.6
Somewhat trust 20.5
No trust 42.0

10. Mohammad Dahlan
Much trust 8.8
Somewhat trust 21.8
No trust 47.7

11. Mostafa Al Barghouthi
Much trust 19.3
Somewhat trust 35.6
No trust 24.3

The only person they really trust is a terrorist, in Israeli prison for his part in murdering five Israelis.

The only one they somewhat trust, Mostafa Barghouti, is General Secretary of the Palestinian National Initiative and would be considered a moderate by most Westerners; he is not a terrorist and says he does not support violence.

The only leader that Palestinians would trust is a terrorist in prison

The terrorist in this case was Habis Abdel Hafeez Youssef Rayan, who is 54 years old.

It is unusual for a man of that age to be directly involved in a terrorist attack. What could be his motivation, and will this be the start of a new wave of older male terrorists?

According to the Palestinian Shams news agency, two of Rayan's sons are members of Islamic Jihad from the town of Beit Dukko. One is Qusay Rayan, who is in Israeli prison, and Assem Rayan, who was released from prison.

I assume this is Assem with Habis.




Abu Ali Express notes that someone named Ra’ed Yosef Rayan, of Beit Dukko, has been on a hunger strike for administrative detention and that detention was just extended yesterday. It seems likely that Ra'ed is another relative of Habis, but it seems unlikely that he would go on a suicide attack for a nephew's detention extension when his own son has been in prison for longer.

When young Arab women attack soldiers at checkpoints, it is often discovered afterwards that they had faced some sort of humiliation - often caught in an illicit relationship - and their "martyrdom" is an attempt to end their shame. We will not learn it from Palestinian media, but it is possible that Habis Rayan was facing serious business problems or bankruptcy, and this is a surefire method to ensure a salary for his family for as long as the Palestinian Authority exists.

One person isn't a trend, but we need to see if other older Palestinian men decide to follow Habis - especially since he is getting widely praised in Palestinian media as a heroic martyr.

Mostafa Barghouti ran against Abbas in the last election. He received half the votes as Abbas in a very sketchy election. Abbas was pimped by the US and Israel as a man who could bring peace. Where Abbas could freely travel the territory in his campaign, Barghouti was detained, beaten, and arrested by Israel.
