“In the fog of war,” goes an old and time-tested saying, “the first casualty is truth.”
Few comments about the genocidal campaign launched against the Jews by Hamas exemplify this better than Fox News’ anchor Shannon Bream’s on-air statement that the majority of Palestinians do not support Hamas. Oh? Hamas is the elected government of Gaza, and has been so since the Israelis in 2005 voluntarily ended their occupation of what was even then a launching pad for unprovoked terrorist attacks on Jewish population centers –internationally recognized as war crimes.
There are two main parties of Palestinian Arabs, Hamas and Fatah. A September poll shows that in an election the head of Hamas would beat the Fatah leader 58% to 37%. More importantly both openly share the same goal: the destruction of the Jewish state and the elimination of Jews in the land “between the River and the Sea.”
Has there been a Palestinian leader or protest in Gaza or the West Bank, or abroad, that has denounced the Nazi atrocities perpetrated by Hamas against Jewish women, children, and entire defenseless families on October 7? Is there a Palestinian Party that recognizes Israel or even the right of Israel to exist?
From its inception in the 1920s, the Palestinian movement has drawn inspiration from rabid Jew haters in Europe, and Germany in particular. In the 1930’s the Muslim Brotherhood translated Mein Kampf into Arabic. The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem – the George Washington of the Palestinian national movement – was an ardent admirer of Hitler. When World War II broke out, he moved to Berlin where he recruited an Arab legion for Hitler and laid plans to create an Auschwitz in the Middle East. When the state of Israel was created by the UN in 1948, it was attacked by five Arab dictatorships, whose rallying cry was “Push the Jews into the sea.” The sick left generates Jew hatred by calling them colonial settlers. Actually, Jews have inhabited the land of Israel for millennia.
The campaign to destroy the Jewish state and its Jews has always been a campaign to ethnically cleanse the Middle East the way the Nazis had attempted to cleanse Europe. It’s justifying rationale – “free Palestine from Israeli occupation” is an easily disproven lie. Israel was not created on Arab land. It was created the same way Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq and Syria were created after World War II: out of the ruins of the Turkish empire which had supported the Nazis in their campaign to exterminate the Jews. The Turks are not Arabs let alone “Palestinians” – a national identity which did not exist at the time of Israel’s creation. The language, religion, culture of the Arabs around the Jordan River is identical to that of the other Arabs in the Middle East. The land on which Israel and nations like Jordan were created was controlled by the Turks for four hundred years before the creation of the Jewish state. There was no movement for a nation called Palestine in all that time.
Jordan has a population seventy percent of whom identify as “Palestinians.” They are ruled by a Hashemite minority. There is no Palestinian campaign to free Jordan from its occupation by Hashemites. Nor was there any ‘Palestinian’ campaign to free the West Bank when Jordan controlled it or Gaza when it was under Egyptian rule. The Palestinian movement is a Nazi campaign to destroy the Jewish state and eliminate its Jews. This is the mentality behind the beheading of Jewish babies and the brutal murders of entire defenseless Jewish families.
The actual invention of the Palestine identity for the campaign against the Jews did not take place until 1964 in the West Bank and 1967 in Gaza – 16 and 19 years after the creation of the Jewish state. The newly invented nationality was the brainchild of the KGB and the Egyptian dictator Nasser whose armies spear-headed the 1948 war to destroy Israel at its birth. The cynical calculation behind the invention of a Palestinian national identity was that the PLO call to “Push the Jews into the sea” was not likely to win allies Nasser and the KGB persuaded the PLO that the creation of a national identity called “Palestine” would allow them to portray their murderous plans to kill the Jews as a resistance to oppression and a fight for self-determination.
In other words, “Palestine” is an invented national identity created for the express purpose of making the land between the river and the sea what the Nazis themselves called Juden rein – Jew free. Unfortunately, the world is full of useful ignoramuses and anti-Semites who lap these lies up and support their Nazi agendas.
The roots of Islamic Jew hatred did not originate with the Nazis though the so-called Palestinians often refer to their goal as an attempt “to finish the job that Hitler started.” They actually go back more than a thousand years to the prophet Mohammed, who made this proclamation to his followers:
The Day of Judgment will not come until Muslims fight the Jews, when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say, ‘O Muslim, O servant of God, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.’
This proclamation is quoted in full in the 1988 Hamas Charter, otherwise known as the Covenant of the Islamic Resistance, and accurately expresses the religious inspiration of the Jew hatred that struck the innocent on October 7, 2023 and created the worst massacre of Jews for being Jews since the Holocaust.

WHY...do they hate the Jews??
Because they are smarter?
Because they are more civilized?
Because they have contributed to the betterment of society?
Because they have contributed to culture?
WTH have the Palis, who have been thrown out of Jordan, Lebonon, etc. really contributed to ANYTHING OTHER THAN DEATH, DISTRUCTION AND CHAOS?
Islam teaches hatred of the Jews.
Most people in the West do not hate Jews. I do not hate Jews. Jews have contributed great things to Western culture. Jesus was a Jew. Paul was a Jew. Christianity comes from Judaism.
Mohammed hated Jews because they refused to treat him as a prophet.
Islam has no 10 commandments. Murder, robbery, theft, rape, lying, giving false witness, are all accepted in Islamic doctrine if they are used to advance Islam.
Israel was not created from Turkish ruled land but from British ruled, formerly Turkish ruled. The author knows this.
“The language, religion, culture of the Arabs around the Jordan River is identical to that of the other Arabs in the Middle East.”
This is not true either. There are local variants in culture and dialect. Speakers of different dialects may not understand each other. Palestine had more Christians than most other mideast nations. There are the Druze and even a tiny number or Samaritans. There are religious differences within Islam, Sunni, Shiite, Alawite.
Arab culture is not a monoculture, and Arabs like other people are not interchangeable pawns, to be moved for convenience.
Horowitz forgets one sentiment: “Because we live here.” The Palestinian Arabs had lived there for hundreds, maybe thousands of years. Many are descendants of Samaritans. Jews have a long memory for their land, why should not Palestinians? Jews make a God-claim on the land, but so do the Muslims.
*Terrorism is wrong. It would have been better for the world and for the Palestinians if the other Arab nations had absorbed the ones who left Israel.
The author - David Horowitz - is now 84 years old, but he still writes with exceptional clarity and honesty.
Horowitz was a Communist - like his parents - until the 1970s.
Horowitz concealed his conversion until the 1980s, when he publicly supported Ronald Reagan.
His skill at refining the history of modern Israel into a couple pages is remarkable.
It would be nice if that Tlaib ugly person would be asked that question. WTH has she or her countrymen contributed to the world in general...NOTHING.
They are still wearing clothing from the eighth century.
Like our President. Who can't think, thus can't write.
Your sentence implies that the geographic region known as "Palestine" is -- more precisely -- was a nation. Be advised that "Palestine" is not a state (or a nation); it never has been.
Over the past 6,000 years, in the geographic region know as "Palestine" there has never been an arab state; there has never been a Muslim state; and there has never been a Palestinian state.
That's true, were it not the Abraham Accords would have been an impossibility. Arabs in the region largely date to the invasion after Mohammed's death. "Palestinians" as a distinct culture didn't exist till the 1960s. And is a distinct culture of death which needs to be eradicated if their neighbors are to be safe in the region. The culture of the Mullahs isn't much different. You might recall their strategy of clearing minefields with citizens during the Iran/Iraq war, with the promise of heaven. They even carried a trinket of sorts, a key I think, to get them in.
It’s impossible to “coexist” with a culture that demands your utter extermination no matter what it’s based on. The followers of that syphilitic pedophile are conditioned from birth to believe that it’s not just okay to murder or enslave others, but that they are commanded to do so.
So the linguistic and cultural differences between groups of muslims are irrelevant. The over arching culture is based on the words of a murderous madmen who hated Jews because they refused to accept him as a prophet.
And there’s absolutely no way to change that culture. Ever. Anyone who tries is branded an apostate worthy of death. According to them islam is already perfect.
You can’t make peace with that. It’s not possible. Even if Israel manages to track down and kill every single member of Hamas another organization will pop up somewhere with exactly the same goal, the utter subjugation of the entire human race to their demented ideology.
So there’s only one long term solution. That filthy “religion” needs to be extirpated from the face of the Earth utterly and completely by whatever means necessary.

Using Palestine as the name of the region and Palestinian Arabs as the name of the Arabs who lived there, for convenience sake.
I am well aware that there has never been a nation of Palestine. But there was a region where people lived for centuries or millenia, and land ties are real, and older than nations. You cannot lightly dismiss them.
In my youth I was very philoSemitic, very much on Israel’s side in everything.
But I have always believed that establishing Israel was immensely destabilizing and dangerous for the world. The Muslims will always have their internecine wars and there was was always going to be the Cold War and decolonization even if Israel had never come into being.
Hatred of Israel and the Western nations that supported it and imposed it upon the Muslim world is the single thing that unites the Muslim world.
The destabilization has resulted in more Muslim immigrants to Western lands, with a united chip.ontheire shoulders. Again, there were always going to be some, because of colonial guilt, and the desire for cheap labor.

Thanks for the links. Informative for me. Below are excerpts.
Hamas affirms that its conflict is with the Zionist project not with the Jews because of their religion. Hamas does not wage a struggle against the Jews because they are Jewish but wages a struggle against the Zionists who occupy Palestine.
Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it.
The Day of Judgement will not come about until Moslems fight the Jews (killing the Jews).
There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad.
death for the sake of Allah is the loftiest of its wishes.
The Zionist invasion is a vicious invasion. It does not refrain from resorting to all methods, using all evil and contemptible ways to achieve its end.
We should not forget to remind every Moslem that when the Jews conquered the Holy City in 1967, they stood on the threshold of the Aqsa Mosque and proclaimed that “Mohammed is dead, and his descendants are all women.”
Might be worth noting that that is "palestinian culture", a historicaly recent Arab "tribe". And not necessarily accepted by all Arabs, though they feel an affinity as fellow Arabs. Not enough to allow them in their own countries of course.
