Let's stop pretending there's no 'Palestinian' incitement
This should be forwarded to your Senator or Representative since they are far more likely to listen than is the State Department, the White House, 10 Downing Street or the European Union.Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik review some of the incitement that has come out of the 'Palestinian Authority' over the last few months, much of which I reviewed in two previous posts. Then they ask the key questions, which someone in the Congressional Foreign Affairs Committees needs to ask Mrs. Clinton, and which someone in the European Parliament needs to ask Baroness Ashton.
Was the terrorist who committed those brutal killings dreaming about a future Palestinian summer camp in his name? Was he imagining Allah granting him everlasting rewards in paradise for fulfilling his command? Did he feel that he was fulfilling his national duty and would receive a financial reward?Read the whole thing.
And what about the international community which has accepted and naively believed PA leaders' assurances that incitement had stopped? It was the international community, represented by US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, which stipulated preconditions for the PA to enter into a renewed peace process: "We will only work with a Palestinian Authority government that unambiguously and explicitly accepts the Quartet's principles: A commitment to non-violence, recognition of Israel, and acceptance of previous agreements and obligations, including the Road Map" (House Appropriations Subcommittee on State, April 23, 2009). The Road Map states that "all official Palestinian institutions end incitement against Israel."
The international community has completely failed because it never followed up to see if these preconditions had actually been met, but gladly satisfied itself with Abbas's promises, and continues to fund the PA.
Everyone involved in the peace process is making a tragic mistake by assuming the incitement is just another issue that has to be dealt with, like the issues of water, borders, and refugees. All of those are issues that must be negotiated as part of a peace process. But as long as the Palestinian Authority continues to teach these messages, clearly there is no peace process.
It is incumbent on the international community to inform the Palestinian Authority that a condition for "working" with it, as Clinton stated, is that it erases the messages of hate and replaces them with peace promotion.
And until that time the international community must ostracize and isolate the Palestinian Authority, just as they do Hamas, and stop pretending there is a peace process.
