Back in 2000, two Jewish IDF reservists mistakenly drove through Ramallah and were detained by Palestinian police — and then brutally murdered in their jail cell by a crowd of savage, blood-hungry thugs, one of whom showed his bloodied hand in a now-infamous photo. That is, like so much of American “advocacy” for Palestinians, the pins are a wink-wink, nudge-nudge endorsement of violent terror against Jews. It’s no coincidence that these stars are hard leftoids: Institutional antisemitism is now part of the American left’s core DNA. Ruffalo is an empty-brained Sanders fanatic, despite being a millionaire many times over himself:...

Ramallah, Palestine: Sadly, on a typical day within the Palestinian Territories, you might see Mein Kampf being sold, just like we did when filming HOPE IN THE HOLY LAND in the heart of Ramallah. Even more disheartening was that we noticed dozens of people walking by and not one them was appalled by this reality. Unfortunately, it was another stark reminder for our crew that classic antisemitism is alive and well within Palestinian society and is a major contributing factor to the ongoing conflict. It also reminded us why we originally decided to make this film. If you haven’t yet...

The two Palestinian polities in Gaza and in the West Bank, are both in an advanced state of deliquescence. Their disastrous condition is discussed here: “Palestinian Society Sinks into Shambles,” by James Sinkinson, JNS.org, August 10, 2023:Palestinian society is in disarray.In two major West Bank towns—Jenin and Nablus—the Palestinian Authority has lost control, and rogue gangs rule the land. Last week, thousands of Gazans protested in the streets—risking brutal backlash from the Hamas regime. Meanwhile, talks in Egypt meant to reconcile the PA and Hamas after 17 bitter years have again hopelessly failed.The PA’s authority no longer extends much beyond...

It's become an essential part of her shtick. Rashida Tlaib (D-Ramallah) likes to invoke the story of her Palestinian grandmother, who lives on the West Bank, where Tlaib insists she is being oppressed by her Israeli overlords. But it turns out her grandmother’s “oppression” — if indeed she is oppressed — is the result not of anything the Israelis do, but of what the Palestinian Authority does, for it is the PA that rules the village where her grandmother lives. More on the true travails of her grandmother, that have nothing to do with Israel, can be found here: “Rashida...

Two Palestinian Arab terrorists were eliminated early Monday morning during a failed terror attack on IDF soldiers in Samaria. The incident occurred in the Jazalone refugee camp outside of Ramallah, when three terrorists driving in a car attempted to run down Israeli security personnel. Soldiers from the IDF’s elite commando unit “Egoz” opened fire on the terrorists as they approached, killing two and wounding one. No injuries were reported among the Israeli forces. The foiled attack is the third terror attack in Samaria in the past twenty-four hours. .....

Hassan Sidky el Dajani, a prominent Palestine Arab leader, publishes an open letter to the High Commissioner in the Arab organ, “Al Hayat”, declaring that it is not unusual for Arab female children in Palestine of ten years of age and under to be “hired out” for as many as 25 years at the rate of a pound a year. The Fellah sometimes has to sell his sons as slaves at the cheapest price in order to use the money to keep body and soul together, and to keep his wife alive, el Dajani writes. I have been with my...

Arab-American "Palestinian-journalist" Barghouti calls for the end [of the State] of Israel: 'Can not exist beyond 2022' [WP "columnist"] Mariam Barghouti, an American-Palestinian journalist, tweeted the following on her Twitter account last night: "Yes. Call for the end of Israel. It did not exist before 1948 and cannot exist after 2022... " Mariam Barghouti is originally from Ramallah, and as it can be deduced from her name she belongs to the infamous Barghouti clan. Her columns are published in the New York Times, The Washington Post, The Guardian, BBC, Al Jazeera and more. In 2014, Barghouti was arrested by the...

Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas authorized the payment on Sunday of $42,000 to the family of a terrorist who killed two Israelis through a policy that incentivizes and rewards terrorism against Israel. Laila Ghannam, governor of Ramallah’s Al-Bireh district, personally handed the money to the family of Muhannad Al-Halabi, a member of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group . Al-Halabi fatally stabbed two Israeli civilians in 2015 before being shot by police. The $42,000 payment was given to Al-Halabi’s parents "on behalf of Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas ," according to the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), which tracks regional media...

Biden, or rather Hady Amr, his point man on the conflict, an anti-Israel bundler to his campaign, is pushing to open a consulate to the PLO in Jerusalem. Secretary of State Blinken and assorted State Department people insist that the United States needs a direct line to the Palestinian Authority. But there's no reason for that direct line to be in Jerusalem. The PLO's capital is in Ramallah. The 19th century former Christian city taken over by Muslims serves as the capital of the Palestinian Authority. That's where Mahmoud Abbas, the PA's leader, who just canceled the latest set of...

BBC digital reporter Tala Halawa's 2014 antisemitic tweets were unearthed recently.

A ‘Palestinian Specialist’ for the BBC has been revealed to have said that “Hitler was right” and compared the Jewish state of Israel to Nazi Germany. The BBC has launched an investigation after one of its digital journalists, Tala Halawa, was reported to have posted on her social media in 2014 that “Israel is more Nazi than Hitler! Oh, #HitlerWasRight – IDF (Israeli Defence Forces) go to hell #PrayForGaza.” The post was uncovered by Honest Reporting, an NGO which claimes to seek to counteract media bias against Israel. The report also revealed that Halawa also said that “Zionists can’t get...

Mahmoud Abbas, also known as Abu Mazen, is now 85-years old; he is frail and largely dysfunctional, as is his Ramallah based Palestinian Authority (PA), which he has presided over since 2005. Abbas has also been chairman of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) since 2004. A third leadership position held by Abbas is that of the chairman of the Fatah (party and terror group at times). A majority of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza want Abbas to resign. According to the Palestinian Center for Policy Survey Research, 64% of Palestinians are concerned that Abbas’ departure from politics would...

How holding Palestinian elections threatens to expose Fatah. The Palestinian attempt to appease the Biden administration by holding Palestinian elections threatens to reveal the flabbiness and collapse of Fatah, which lies at the heart of the Palestinian Authority. Recently, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas threatened Fatah members who opted to run outside the Fatah list with death. This apparently occurred last week during a Fatah Revolutionary Council meeting in Ramallah. Abbas had barred members of the Fatah Central Committee, Revolutionary Council, and Consultative Council from running in the upcoming legislative elections. This ban also included current ministers, ambassadors, governors, security officials,...

The announcement coincided with the US-led economic workshop in Bahrain in which the Trump administration unveiled the economic portion of its Middle East peace plan.

Palestinian Arabs demonstrated in Ramallah on Thursday, demanding the closure of the America House which, is operated by the U.S. consulate in eastern Jerusalem and located in the city of Ramallah. The role of the America House, which is established in 2010, is to disseminate American culture. The protesters demanded the removal of American workers and the closure of their offices, in protest of the Trump administration's recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Israel and its intention to move the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem by mid-May, in time for Israel’s 70th Independence Day....
