'Palestinians' call her 'black spinster' and 'dark lady'

WorldNetDaily is reporting that the 'Palestinian' media are referring to US Secretary of State Condaleeza Rice as a 'black spinster' and as a 'colored dark skin lady.'

The official 'Palestinian' media outlets controlled by 'moderate Palestinian President' Mahmoud Abbas Abu Mazen's Fatah party have referred to Dr. Rice this week as the "black woman," "raven," "colored dark skinned black lady" and "black spinster" in their reports.

WorldNetDaily lists some of the instances in which Dr. Rice has been tagged with racist epithets by the 'Palestinian' media:

According to a translation by Palestinian Media Watch, the PA daily Al Hayat Al Jadida detailed Wednesday's Ramallah protests in which Rice was described as a "raven" who "brings only destruction."

Al Hayat Al Jadida featured pictures of ralliers brandishing anti-Rice placards, some reading, "Murderer Rice go to Hell" and "Get out." One placard had Rice drinking the blood of dead babies and stating, "I need more blood."

A cartoon last week in the PA controlled Al Quds depicted Rice pregnant with a monkey. A caption read, "Rice speaks about birth of new Middle East."

In a previous article by Al Hayat Al Jadida, Rice is described three times as the "black woman," and her father, who was an ordained Presbyterian minister, was called the "black clergyman [who filled Rice's head with Bible stories]." The article warned, "Beware of this 'black spinster,' we don't want to say 'the black widow' out of respect for her femininity and her intelligence."

But it's not 'just' the media:

A report this weekend by Palestinian Media Watch stated, "In addition to the offending news articles, the PA society is orchestrating demonstrations, children's activities, and hateful visual displays all personally attacking Condoleezza Rice."

WND reported from the scene in Ramallah last week as hundreds of protesters gathered outside a meeting between Abbas and Rice, many chanting, "Down with America," "[Hezbollah leader Hassan] Nasrallah hit America," "Fire rockets into Tel Aviv," and "We don't need American money."

Palestinian police clashed with some protesters who tried to shove their way into the government building.

A group of ralliers who said they were affiliated with Fatah told WND they would try to charge Rice when she emerged.

The main protest organizer, who was outside leading the crowd, was Zyad Abu Ein, a senior Fatah official and general manager of the PA's Ministry of Prisoners. Ein is well known to be a close Abbas confidante and is considered one of the most important members in Ramallah of Fatah's Revolutionary Council.

Ein told WND aside from last week's street protests near the Abbas-Rice meeting, he asked Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails to stage what he called a "day of rage" against Rice's visit by not cooperating with prison wardens.

This is not the first time that the 'Palestinian' media has published racist epithets about Dr. Rice. On June 23, 2002, the following article appeared in the Official PA daily, Al-Hayat Al-Jadida:

"A Light Upon the “Israeli” National Security Advisor!"

by Dr.Abd Al Aziz Al Maqaleh

“What is happening with the National Security Advisor evokes sadness and distress, and renders all the actions of former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright insignificant and limited, in comparison to the actions of the Advisor.

"I do not conceal that from the very onset of the election campaign which brought Bush Jr. to the White House, I was among those who were enthusiastic and pleased with George Bush’s taking the helm of the American Administration. This was despite the troubling doubts which surrounded his attainment of the most important position in the world. "I, as well as most of my colleagues who followed these elections, did not want the opponent, Al Gore, to get into the White House, because of what has been said of his developed and strong connections with the Jewish Lobby, and the “Israeli” entity in particular. This, although he -that is Al Gore- appeared to be the epitome of a soft and gentle man, and the things he said during the campaign were balanced and wise, and there was a touch of wisdom and repose to his conduct.

“My enthusiasm for George Bush II increased after he entered the White House and upon his chose to appoint to his administration two people from among the colored, a first in the history of American regime, the first: Secretary of State Colin Powell, and the second: National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice. We said then, both in private and in public, that these two colored senior officials are a part of the Third World, even if only due to the color of their skin, which should be reflected in their heart and soul, and inspire in them empathy for the problems of this Third World, whose situation is similar to that of their kinsmen among the neglected blacks of the country of Uncle Sam. The experience of the colored in the United States, the patronizing and racism, will remind both of them of the humiliation and looting of the natural riches suffered by Third World countries.

“But what happened after that was embarrassing and astonishing, and perhaps what happened with the dark complexioned lady, or, more accurately: black, the National Security Advisor evokes sadness and distress, and renders all the actions of former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright insignificant and limited, in comparison to the actions of the Advisor. This, bearing in mind that the press referred to Albright as a ‘wolf’.

"What compounds the astonishment is that the Black Lady always makes a point, whether the opportunity presents itself or not, of denouncing the Palestinians to the point where her positions and statements have come to be nearly daily lessons to the American people and the world, causing regret to every Arab who was optimistic about her arrival on the political scene, especially when comparing her stupid positions with Albright’s, who, time has proven had greater wisdom and sense of international responsibility, and was less aggressive than this pitiful woman who has dealt a blow to the image of the Black American in the eyes of the vast majority of the world’s inhabitants. In addition she increased the despair in the face of any hope that there will be more neutral officials in the American Administration, which is becoming increasingly pro-Zionist and identifying entirely with the continuous daily aggression against the unprotected Palestinian people who are struggling to regain their stolen rights.” (PMW.ORG.IL 06/27/02)
