The Palestinian Authority (P.A.) exists as a mendicant. It is begging the U.S. and EU to build a television station for it to counter Hamas TV.
If the P.A. wants to campaign on the theme that Hamas turned the Gaza Strip into a war base and caused most of their problems, why does the P.A. urge Hamas to form a coalition with it?
The P.A. already has a TV station, plus radio stations, newspapers, and web sites. Their theme is denunciation of the U.S., EU, and Israel, which finance and arm the P.A.. The more the P.A. propagandizes this way, the more Arabs join Hamas, which declares itself ready to fight now.
The P.A. media indoctrinates its people with the notions that Israelis are war criminals, colonialists, land thieves, cowards, vampires, child-killers, with whom peace cannot be made. Abbas blames Israel for most of his people’s discontent. Then how can he propose making peace with them? If he does, his own people would consider him a traitor. Their anger is a fire that he can enflame but not quench.
Why should the West finance another hate-TV station, one that works against peace? (Khaled Abu Toameh, Jewish Political Chronicle, spring 2009, p.24 from Hudson Institute, 3/3/09).
Can you mortgage defaulters think of a better use of American tax revenues?
Perhaps Abbas is just paying lip service to the goal of coalition with Hamas. That also is playing with fire. It also makes him look bad, when he announces that goal but fails to attain it.
The U.S. government, mired in moral equivalency and anti-Zionism, fails to denounce the P.A. defamation and incitement to violence and war. Mostly it finds Israel’s settlements an “obstacle to peace.” It strives to get the Jews out of there, although Fatah doctrine is from there to get the Jews out of the rest of Israel. That means war. Nobody asks why the U.S. doesn’t tell the jihadists to leave.
Oh, I forgot. Our Presidents think that if they let Iran destroy Israel with nuclear weapons, or if they let the Arabs destroy Israel once it is shrunken into indefensible borders, those psychopathic Islamist killers would have slaked their blood lust and drop their talk about the U.S. being the Great Satan they must bring down. Hamas and Hizbullah leaders would tell their followers that they don’t need to set up a global caliphate, after all, their cause is vindicated and complete, they can stand down, and puts away the guns that give them power.

In jihad as in other matters, human nature is to gain momentum from victories.

Reading your article is very self defeating. You talk about propaganda and Palestinian Hate when in reality your article is full of hate towards Arabs and Muslim. It's double standard don't you think?
Richard, do you really think that Iran, or anyone, could actually nuke Israel away? Really? I mean first of all it would take more nukes than Iran can fabricate in the next 10 years, and personally I think Iran probably already has or is a lot closer to the Nuke than anyone thinks. Second, Gaza and the West Bank would get destroyed along with Israel. If anything Israel should want to share Jerusalem with the Arabs for its own security if for no other reason. You cannot "wipe Israel off the map" without wiping Palestine off the map and making the entire Holy Land unusable for any religion. I am all for another mid east country having the Bomb. If Israel has the only ones (and they have a lot) THAT is what makes it unbalanced. I say we give the nuke to everyone. The ones who use it get completely destroyed by the rest of the world. Seems simple, instead we (the U.S.) do not denounce Israel bombing nuclear facilities. REDICULOUS!!!! And irresponsible.
