Arab activist: 'Palestinians would love Israeli annexation'
Arutz Sheva ^ | 2/6/16 | Yoni Kempinsky

Posted on 06/02/2016 3:00:23 PM PDT by Eleutheria5

Palestinian human rights activist Bassem Ayyad, a former investigator for the radical leftist NGO B'Tselem, surprised a conference of Judea and Samaria researchers at Ariel University on Thursday when he revealed unofficial Palestinian views.

Arutz Sheva got the chance to speak with Ayyad about how Palestinian Arabs view the Palestinian Authority (PA), and learned he thinks most would in fact love to see Israel annex Judea and Samaria.

Ayyad explained that "the Palestinians have become frustrated by the attitude and the behavior of the Palestinian Authority."

He noted that since the PA was created in the 1994 Oslo Accords, Arabs living under the organization only hear about corruption from it, and he emphasized that the PA hasn't built a single kindergarten in Judea, Samaria or Gaza in its entire existence.

If you were to secretly poll Palestinians, Ayyad asserted that "99.9% would ask to be under the Israeli authority rather than under the Palestinian Authority."

According to Ayyad, Palestinian Arabs living under the PA want something different, and they "would love to see themselves tomorrow annexed to Israel."

Arab citizens of Israel could have served as a bridge between Israelis and Palestinians, he said, but instead they incite against Israel and show "hatred," and therefore instead of bridging between the two sides they in fact do the opposite.

Turning his attention to human rights organizations, the activist said that most have a political agenda rather than a human rights agenda, and noted that he felt the politicization in the radical B'Tselem.

Ayyad argued that the core of the problem lies with the funders, with many in Europe who fund groups like B'Tselem seeking to promote anti-Semitism.

Someone's actually come out and said it. Holy sh!t. I hope he's got a safe place to stay for a while.

Hmmm. Today's June 2nd. I doubt he'll see July 2nd.

Arafat funneled hundreds of millions of dollars to his private bank accounts. The current leaders of the PA are doing the same.

Paris is a very expensive city to live in. A 700 sq ft apartment costs 750,000 Euros.

Israel shouldn’t touch the ####hole PA areas except to keep terrorism under control. It would be insane for Israel to add millions of jihad loving jew hating new “citizens” who would be like termites undermining Israel from within.

I’m willing to bet my life that nothing of the kind would happen. For one thing, as in Jerusalem, make Israeli citizenship a matter of personal choice for those with a clean record. For another, as we did in 1967, take over the education system and throw out all the hatred-spewing text books. For another, implement the death penalty with pig skin shrouds for all intentional murders.

There was a period after 1967, when Arabs within the territories would not give quarters to an invading Jihadi, or allow the PLO to establish headquarters in Judah and Samaria. It’s spoken of in the present tense in the now-outdated Battleground, by Samuel Katz, published in 1972. Something happened in later years, but if things can change once, they can change again. Let the Arabs in Area A dispose of their “leaders” in a vividly gory manner, as is their wont, something to make Ceausescu or Mussolini think they got off light, and then offer them the same deal if they want it.

Annexation is an option, but only after deporting “Palestinians” back to their true homeland — Egypt, Jordan, and Syria.

This is an intersting article. Every now and then someone has the balls to speak the unvarnished truth. Here is one: the palestinians would be far better off under Israeli rule than the pallies.

While we’re at it, we should also be careful to note that the Filipinos would be far better off if they had remained an American territory. The same can be said about Cuba. We should have never, ever given up these territories.

It also doesn't help that the UN funded PA schools use educational indoctrination material that support the old blood libels against Jews and Israelis.
