Who Are The Palestinians? Part 2

[P F Tinmore]

Saudi Prince Bandar bin Sultan is not, how shall we say, ''a fan of the Pals'' when it comes to critique of Pal failures and inadequacies regarding peace efforts.

Yasser Arafat passed up Palestine peace deals from two US presidents: Prince Bandar

Yasser Arafat and other Palestinian leaders passed up and hindered offers to secure a lasting peace process to the Israel-Palestine conflict, said Saudi Arabia’s former Ambassador to the US Prince Bandar bin Sultan on Tuesday.

In the second episode of a three-part exclusive interview with Al Arabiya, Prince Bandar shared inside information into the difficulties of the Palestinian peace process, as a veteran Saudi diplomat who served for more than 20 years in Washington.


According to Prince Bandar, who later became the Kingdom’s intelligence chief and head of national security, the Palestinian leadership undermined the peace negotiations at several stages despite Saudi Arabian efforts to secure a deal.

The so called peace negotiations were a sham.

It seems to be something of a nebulous argument to suggest that there is any real distinction between so much of the Pal civil society and the component Islamic terrorist promoting leadership.

‘Only terrorists need apply’ for Palestinian NGOs

It is both damning and revealing that many Palestinian civil-society organizations either have links to, or vocally support, those whose stated aim is the destruction of world’s sole Jewish state.

It is both damning and revealing that many Palestinian civil-society organizations either have links to, or vocally support, those whose stated aim is the destruction of world’s sole Jewish state.

The P.A., which rules over the majority of Palestinians, has prohibited all Palestinian NGOs from cooperating with foreign funders who want to put anti-terror clauses in their funding. And, as the blogger Elder of Ziyon has documented, “if any Palestinian NGO signs a clause” saying “that they will not hire or fund terrorists, they will be prosecuted under Palestinian law.” In an Oct. 13 blog, the blogger highlights a story that many missed.

Indeed, they do not want to fall into the foreign name calling trap.

Indeed. You suffer from hurt feelings when appropriate attributes such as ''Islamic terrorists'' are applied to Pal Arabs.

Indeed, the consistent failure of the Palis to form a working government capable of maintaining the conditions of a peace agreement would cause you to retreat into your burqa of denial.

It is quite ironic that top PA official Saeb Erekat has asked that Israel’s Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem treat him for his Coronavirus disease.

It is quite ironic that top PA official Saeb Erekat has asked that Israel’s Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem treat him for his Coronavirus disease. Israeli sources reported this afternoon and Palestinian sources confirmed that Erekat, who was reported sick last week, is now having trouble breathing and is being moved to the Israeli hospital.

Just guessing here but I’m guessing that Jabril “Peace Partner” Rajoub is not going to ingratiate himself with Arab leaders by calling them “worms ‎exposed by the sun”.

That seems a bit harsh, especially if Jabril will be pleading to these same Arab leaders for a welfare check a few months from now.

‎PA to Arab peace makers:

‎“Tomorrow the US and the White House will ask you to erase the ‎Hadiths (i.e., Prophetic sayings) and the verses of the Quran that ‎are connected to the Al-Aqsa Mosque and Jerusalem.”‎

An endless stream of insults from the PA has been pouring down on the heads of the ‎Arab states that dared normalize and agree to make peace with Israel.‎

While the initial announcements of peace elicited accusations of “betrayal,” ‎seeing the foreign ministers of the UAE and Bahrain actually sign the ‎agreements with Netanyahu and Trump at the White House, took the insults ‎up a notch.‎

The article points to a bleak outlook for Abbas, and by extension, the gaggle of Ministers, executives, managers, hangers-on and cronies who are making themselves wealthy from the industry of Pal welfare fraud.

Mahmoud’s underlings have everything to lose with the international community and Arab states cutting back their financial contributions to the Abbas slush fund.

https://www.israelhayom.com/2020/10/20/left-alone-on-the-field-abbas-is-refusing-to-change/

Angry, sad, and ill, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has been stuck at home in Ramallah for a few months now. COVID is forcing him to be extra careful. At his age, 85, with many other medical conditions, Abbas cannot allow himself to do otherwise. But according to reports from his inner circle, his glumness is mostly because of the PA's ongoing economic and diplomatic isolation.

After the very public slap in the face from the Arab League, which effectively rejected the Palestinians' request to condemn the normalization agreements between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, Abbas and his speakers let loose, cursing and scolding the Gulf Arab states. But the appearance of Bandar Bin Sultan, a former top-ranking Saudi diplomat, on Al-Arabiyya and the very public finger that the former head of Saudi intelligence flipped the Palestinians has shut their mouths.

Despite the PA’s cessation of all cooperation, PA’s chief negotiator Saeb Erekat is able to enjoy “normal” relations with Israel, choosing an Israeli hospital for his current treatment for the coronavirus disease.

• Even visiting the Al-Aqsa Mosque is presented as unacceptable “normalization”

The PA has been just as adamant about not allowing any normalization with Israel as the animals in Orwell’s Animal Farm were about the need for animals to stick together against humans who were “the only real enemy.” But as happened in Orwell’s classic when the pigs decided they were superior and granted themselves rights that they refused the other “equal” animals, so too PA leaders are happy to have normal relations with Israel when it comes to themselves, while refusing and even condemning ordinary Palestinians for having any normalization with Israelis at all. Indeed, in the PA - as on Orwell’s farm - “some are more equal than others.”

An interesting article that makes some obvious points addressing the militarization of the Islamic terrorist enclave known as the PA.

Palestinians Choose Guns Over Butter - Algemeiner.com

JNS.org - Sure, it’s ironic that a Palestinian leader who accused Israel of spreading the coronavirus has checked himself into an Israeli hospital now that he is afflicted with it. But the implications of this episode are much more significant than another chuckle over Palestinian hypocrisy...

www.algemeiner.com

The PA has one of the largest per-capita security forces in the world. The Palestinian Shehab News Agency reported last year that the PA has “65,000 troops” — that is, policemen and various “security” units that function as a de facto army. The PA spent more than $1 billion on those forces in 2018, according to Shehab.

What in the world does the PA need 65,000 troops for? It’s not like the PA has ever fought any wars, or is threatened by any country in the region. According to the Oslo Accords, the PA’s security forces are supposed to apprehend terrorists, but they have never taken that obligation seriously, which is why the Israeli army has to keep going into PA areas to capture the terrorists whom the PA security forces leave untouched.

Exact percentages are difficult to come by, but according to a February 2015 PA Ministry of Finance report, “budget allocations to the security services in Palestine’s 2014 general budget amounted to 28%” of the total budget. And that figure might actually have been even higher. Hassan Khreisheh, vice president of the PA’s Legislative Council, told the Arab media outlet Al-Monitor last year that “the security expenditures are much higher, reaching 35% of the public budget.”

The expected reactions to Israel normalizing ties with Arab nations is again on display. The Palis are doing their best impression of a petulant child who has been scolded for bad behavior and sent for a timeout.

The Palestinian Authority said on Friday that it “condemns and rejects” the normalization of relations between Arab countries and Israel.

A statement by the PA presidency in Ramallah said that normalization with Israel is in violation of the Arab summit resolutions and the 2002 Arab Peace Initiative.
