'The tip of the triangle of destruction'?
And I thought they'd name streets after him if they ever got a 'state'.... Indeed, for a long time, many pundits on the Right here referred to him as the founding father of 'Palestine.'The following article from the sports pages of the official PA daily is an example of how neutral Israeli activities are twisted and used to promote hatred of Israel in the PA.That the 'Palestinians' could be so viciously critical of the Peres Center for Peace - and for the unremarkable act of inviting sports stars to play against joint Israeli-'Palestinian' teams - shows how hopeless the mission of the Peres Center for Peace really is. There is no hope of peace with the 'Palestinians.' Israelis have long since been made ready for the prospect of peace with the 'Palestinians,' while the 'Palestinians' continue to imbibe Jew-hatred. For us to make 'peace' with these people would be committing suicide.
The article is about Israeli international sports contacts and criticizes Israel's invitations to foreign athletes. Israel is accused of inviting the athletes that Palestinians admire most - just in order to frustrate Palestinians."'Israel' aims its poisoned arrows with great accuracy at the heart of every sports star who enters the hearts of Palestinians and Muslim Arabs. It is clear that Israel is able to invent ploys and set traps in order to attract the Arabs' favorite international football stars... to cause frustration to the Palestinians... Since our enemy is shrewd, it is well aware of how the Spanish [football] League is admired by Palestinians and Arabs; therefore, it continues to target the stars of the outstanding Spanish League..."The writer criticizes Israeli President Shimon Peres and the Peres Center for Peace, describing the President as the "tip of the triangle of destruction," and attacking the center for "spewing its poison in the faces of the Palestinians."
The Peres Center for Peace promotes coexistence between Israelis and Palestinians through sports events and Peace Matches, where mixed Israeli-Palestinian football teams play against top international teams like Real Madrid and others. Internationally acclaimed athletes and other celebrities act as Ambassadors for the center and help promote awareness of these peace-promoting initiatives. The writer of the article in the Palestinian daily describes the participation of the international sports stars and their visits to Israel as anti-Palestinian activities.
One such athlete criticized in the article is Argentinian footballer Maradona, who was criticized for being "one of the first athletes to don a skullcap and pray at the Al-Buraq Wall (i.e., the Western Wall), shedding crocodile tears in occupied Jerusalem in 1986."
The article also includes general hate speech, referring to Israel as "the Zionist entity," writing that "the Zionist octopus' arms reach out in every direction," and slandering Israel by claiming that "the Zionist policy of oppression... has not limited itself to destruction of [sports] facilities and the murder of athletes."
In addition, the words Israel and Tel Aviv throughout the article appear in quotation marks as an indicator of non-recognition of Israel.

"For us to make 'peace' with these people would be committing suicide."
Yet, there are so many who seem to embrace such a self destructive notation.
Is there a doctor in the house?
al-Buraq wall?? Named after a non-existent creature with the body of a horse, the head of a woman and the tail of a peacock, that Mo supposedly rode(in his nightmares)?? they are truly sick.
