Obama
Administration Ignores Palestinian Arab Pro-Terror, Anti-Peace Words &
Deeds
The
Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) is understanding of Israeli Defense
Minister and former Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Chief of Staff, General Moshe
Ya’alon stating that U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is ignoring the
realities of continuing Palestinian opposition to Israel’s existence.
General Ya’alon
refuted Secretary Kerry’s insistence on the centrality of the conflict to the
peace and stability of the Middle East and that it be resolved quickly, saying,
“The
American security plan that was presented to us [by Secretary Kerry] is not
worth the paper it was written on. It contains neither security nor peace. Only
our continued presence in Judea and Samaria and the Jordan River will guarantee
that Ben Gurion Airport and (the northern city of) Netanya do not become
targets for missiles from every direction … [The PA’s Abbas] lives on our
sword. Once we leave Judea and Samaria, he is finished. In fact, throughout the
recent months, there is no negotiation between us and the Palestinians –– but
rather, between us and the Americans”
The ZOA
stated that General Ya’alon’s comments about Secretary Kerry underscores the
entire problem to which Mr. Ya’alon was alluding. Consider: the PA’s Abbas can
say and do anything and everything –– honor Jew-killing terrorists, demanding
they all be released from Israeli prisons; say he’ll never accept a Jewish
State; personally protected wanted Jew-killers; tell Palestinians there is no
obligation for any Palestinian movement to accept Israel, let alone as a Jewish
State, and all the other items we list below –– and attract no criticism or
censure from the Obama Administration.
This
mirrors the fact that the U.S. has also ignored recent statements by Iranian
top leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei addressing a rally of tens of thousands
calling for ‘death to America,’ calling the U.S. a ‘great Satan’ and an ‘enemy
who smiles,’ and Iranian president Rouhani boasting that the ‘the U.S. and
world powers surrendered to the Iranian nation’s will.’ The Obama
Administration and Secretary Kerry are silent about all these horrific
Palestinian and Iranian actions and words, yet when General Ya’alon points out
that Secretary Kerry is being dangerously unrealistic in ignoring the realities
facing Israel (and pressuring Israel to make dangerous concessions to the
Holocaust-denying Abbas and the PA), the Obama Administration suddenly finds
its voice and strongly criticizes the Israeli Defense Minister.
Moreover,
given the insistence on negotiations, the consistent ignoring of every infamous
Palestinian deed and violation, the Obama Administration seems to be turning
itself into the PA’s attorney and chief negotiator while largely ignoring
America’s best ally Israel’s serious and legitimate concerns.
The Obama
Administration also seems to ignore, or deem irrelevant, the following PA
actions and inactions. These actions and inactions prove that the PA has no
interest in peace or even statehood, only Israel’s destruction as a Jewish
State.
The PA has
not fulfilled its 20-year-old, signed obligations under the Oslo agreements to
arrest and jail terrorists, outlaw and disband terrorist groups, confiscate
illegal weaponry and end the incitement to hatred and murder that suffuses the
PA-controlled media, mosques, schools and youth camps.
Abbas has
a record of continuing pro-terror, and anti-peace words and deeds, including:
Calling
and physically embracing Jew-killing terrorists as “heroes”;\
Praising
living and dead Jew-killing terrorists
Insisting
on a Jew-free future Palestinian State, encompassing the forcible uprooting of
nearly 400,000 Jews from Judea/Samaria and eastern half of Jerusalem.
States the
PA will never accept Israel as a Jewish State
Always
insists that all Palestinian refugees (only about 50,000 still living) and
their millions of descendants be allowed to returned to Israel
Declaring
that dismantling terror groups is a “red line” that must not be crossed
Stated
that the war on Israel will not end even with the creation of a Palestinian
State, but rather “internationalize[e] of the conflict as a legal matter, not
only a political one … paving the way for us to pursue claims against Israel at
the United Nations, human rights treaty bodies and the International Court of
Justice
Protecting
wanted terrorists in his presidential compound
Naming
schools, streets, sports teams and children’s camps after terrorists
Paying
stipends to terrorists and their families
The Fatah
Constitution (not to be confused with the PLO Charter) was never cancelled and
still calls for Israel’s destruction in ten of its clauses, including calling
for a “revolution” utilizing terrorism against Israel as an indispensable
element in the effort to achieve that goal and also calling for international
action to stop Jews from moving to Israel
A PA
leader demands that even future Jew-killers arrested by Israel must be
released; and
A Fatah
emblem showing all Israel labelled ‘Palestine’ and draped in a Palestinian
headdress, flanked by a Kalashnikov rifle and an image of arch-terrorist Yasser
Arafat.
(Gee whiz! How come Israel does not
want to agree to such declarations. Maybe show them to John Kerry?)
II
Comment:
Of course,
diplomatic protocol and US pressure required General Yaalon to apologize for
telling the truth a day later …
Text of
Yaalon apology to Kerry January 14, 2014:
“Israel
and the United states share a common goal to advance the peace talks between
Israel and the Palestinians led by Secretary Kerry. We appreciate Secretary
Kerry’s many efforts towards that’s end. The defense minister had no intention
to cause any offense to the secretary, and he apologizes if the secretary was
offended by words attributed to the minister.”
