Abbas vs Facts: Jews 'Weren't Attacked' In Kusra
Arutz Sheva ^ | 13/1/14 | Dalit Halevy and Ari Yashar

Documented evidence doesn't stand in the way of Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Mahmoud Abbas's claims regarding the attempted lynching of 25 Jewish residents of Samaria by an Arab mob from Kusra last Tuesday.

In talks with Arab residents of eastern Jerusalem on Saturday, Abbas declared "the residents (of Kusra) caught settlers and besieged them, and they did it without tanks, rockets and planes. They gathered around them and told them: you won't leave here until the Palestinian liaison (officers) arrive."

"They (the Arabs) didn't hit them," claimed the PA head, "for we have rights and culture, and aren't like them attacking trees and mosques. They (the Arabs) turned them (the abducted Jews) over without injury to the liaison. Maybe this will be a lesson in morals for them."

Abbas's wild claims come in direct opposition to documented fact, as video filmed by Arab residents clearly shows Arabs chasing the Jews, stooping to pick up rocks, and hurling them at the running Jews. The video, despite being edited to suit Arab propaganda needs, also shows the serious wounds inflicted:

The statements by Abbas, who in the past has had unfortunate encounters with historical fact, including a recent occasion in which he claimed Jesus was a Palestinian, are also belied by death threats uttered by the "cultured" residents of Kusra just before the lynching.

Residents of Esh Kodesh have revealed that two days before the attack, someone uploaded a video of Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists training to attack Israel to the town's Facebook page. The video was accompanied by threats, including "you will burn and you will not remain on the earth."

The threats were sent by anonymous users with fake names including Kusra Net, apparently indicating the threats originated from Kusra, where the attack took place.

Both Jews and Arabs believe that words create reality. For that reason, religious Jews say "G-d forbid!" before mentioning such misfortunes as death and sickness, for fear that their words might bring the misfortune closer to realization.

For that reason, too, Arabs will state the most outrageous lies with absolute conviction, knowing that they are lies, because they believe that saying them with such conviction makes reality grow closer to the truth that they desire.

Same belief, showing a common origin, but very different attitudes as to what to do with it.
