Israeli Mayor wants East Jerusalem youths shot for stone-throwing

There should be a red line to all of that also, for this cannot go forever... lots of years have elapsed since the supposedly correction of the charter.

If I was the PM of Israel I would have put Abbas in prison for all the incitements, the complimentary statements to terrorists who died because of his incitements and the confirmation that they will be in Muslim Paradise.

Israel is confronting the lowest elements in this area, their belief in fantasies is predominantly because of their low education etc.,

 

It has been implemented. Again
"A. The Palestinian National Charter is hereby amended by canceling the articles that are contrary to the letters exchanged the P.L.O. and the Government of Israel 9-10 September 1993."
Those articles which are specified in 1998 letter are cancelled and have no more effect.
Again this is on your country's foreign ministry website.

Again this is not me saying this, the position that the PLO charter has been amended is your government position including your pm, former pm Sharon, former right wing minister Natan Sharansky, and former minister Yitzhak Moredechai.

 

Abbas is not behind these attacks with Israeli security officials noting

"Not only does Abbas not wish for escalation of the violence, the officials said, he has carried out a series of measures to make sure such escalation does not occur: he has called hardliners within his movement, who have voiced inflammatory statements in recent days, to order; he has ordered official Palestinian media to tone down its rhetoric; he has arrested violent elements in the West Bank, including Hamas protesters in Tulkarem.
Security coordination with Israel continues unabated, the officials stress, and Abbas has funneled millions of shekels to West Bank universities in order to prevent a strike that would leave hundreds of students on the street. Plainclothes Palestinian security personnel make sure that no live ammunition is fired from within Fatah-led demonstrations."

Abbas also agreed to most of Olmert's terms in 2008 but ran out of time to complete negations with Bibi refusing to go back to those terms.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo it has not been... It was a <super takyah> = <super deceit>

It was supposedly amended for the world at large to know it was... but in reality the Arabs were informed that we will keep our sacred theme... the destruction of Israel.

Apparently <name dropping> is very contagious... you are the second person here who has opted to be inflicted with this.

 

Here is a vivid example of what transpires daily...

Here is what the MEDIA at large hide from public scrutiny...

Today&#8217;s Top Stories
1. In the last 24 hours, there were four Palestinian stabbing attacks. See below for details. In case you missed yesterday&#8217;s roundup, I have decided to call the widening violence an &#8220;intifada.&#8221; Here&#8217;s Why I&#8217;m calling it an intifada.

2. Who knew? Palestinians influenced by Islamic State burned down the St. Charbel monastery in Bethlehem on Sept. 26. Bar Ilan University&#8217;s Edy Cohen asks, &#8220;Where&#8217;s the coverage?&#8221;

The burning of the church in Bethlehem was a despicable and racist act against a marginalized community who lived peacefully in this country before the arrival of the Muslims. The blackout from the Palestinian side is understandable. That&#8217;s what Arab countries who live under dictatorship do. But the question must be asked today why there was a media blackout in Israel when Palestinian terrorists burned a church in Bethlehem while we heard condemnations from all sides when the Church of the Multiplication of the Loaves and Fish in Tiberias was burned down a few months ago.

One of the reporters said the matter was not interesting, another senior reporter told me that if it was a Jew was that did it I would have reported on it straight away and they would be preparing a panel on CNN about it.

 

Here is what Arlene Kushner the best Journalist in Israel reports:...

&#8220;THIS MUST GO VIRAL&#8221;

Dear friends,

I did not intend to post today, but &#8211; as has happened before &#8211; I realized that I must.

Yesterday, I wrote about Sheikh Mohammad Abu Rajab, who, during a sermon in the Al Abrar Mosque in Rafah, Gaza, demonstrated the way to stab a Jew. I knew there was a video of his &#8220;sermon,&#8221; but it seemed to be unavailable &#8211; I couldn&#8217;t access it and so put up a still photo. Bad enough, to see a member of the Muslim &#8220;clergy&#8221; brandishing a knife from the pulpit.

Now I have located the video, which comes from MEMRI. It was broadcast via Internet, and Abu Rajab himself makes note of this, because the message goes far and wide this way. Internet, and social media, have been used extensively in inciting during the current violence.

Here is the video from MEMRI.

http://www.memritv.org/clip/en/5098.htm

I truly hope you can access it. I watched it, not once, but twice. I was stunned and shaken, for the hatred he expresses is so obscene.

You must watch it to the end, my friends, to understand what we are dealing with.

 

Their own leadership says it has not and also states it will not be changed;

""It will remain as is. It won't be subject to discussion," Azzam al-Ahmad, a senior Fatah leader, said.

The charter calls for armed struggle "until the Zionist entity is wiped out and Palestine is liberated"."

 

Just for the readers to be aware of what transpires on a daily basis here, I am posting the latest mockery, juxtaposition of inequality, this baseless absurdity... enrich yourself with this displayed/posted inequity...

MEMRI
October 12, 2015 Special Dispatch No.6184
Fatah Officials, Palestinian Social Media, Palestinian Authority Dailies
Encourage Continued Violence
http://www.memri.org/report/en/0/0/0/0/0/0/8794.htm

Fatah seems to be speaking in two voices regarding the violent events of the
last few days, which have been described variously as "an intifada," a
"popular awakening," the "Al-Aqsa Rage" events, etc. Alongside statements by
PA President Mahmoud 'Abbas expressing a desire to avoid escalation and
continue the security coordination with Israel, the Palestinian media has
been publishing statements by PA officials, especially Fatah officials, as
well as op-eds, that advocate continuing the violence. Some described the
stabbings as acts of self-defense and others called to maintain a high level
of tension and conflict. In some cases, PA spokesmen even chose to deny that
violent attacks have taken place, claiming that Israel was falsely accusing
Palestinians of terrorism in order to justify their killing. For example,
commenting on the attempted car bomb attack at the Al-Za'im checkpoint on
October 11, Palestinian Authority (PA) security services spokesman 'Adnan
Al-Damiri said that the vehicle had caught fire due to an electric
malfunction. The PA daily Al-Ayyam claimed that "Israel concocted a false
and deceptive story about an alleged [attempted] bombing, as it has done on
numerous occasions in the past."[1] Following the death of Mustafa
Al-Khatib, who was killed on October 12 as he attempted to knife a soldier
in Jerusalem, the PA daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida stated that "the occupation
forces usually accuse Palestinians of attempted knifings in order to justify
shooting at them and killing them."[2]

Additionally, a delegation of Fatah officials, including figures close to
Palestinian President Mahmoud 'Abbas, paid a condolence visit to the family
of a terrorist who was killed after he murdered two Israelis in Jerusalem's
Old City. An investigative article in the PA daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida
reviewed reactions by Palestinians on social media who expressed joy at the
killing of Jews.

The following are excerpts from statements and articles reflecting this dual
stance adopted by Fatah.


Al-Ayyam Headline: "Al-Za'im Checkpoint: Electric Short Circuit in Vehicle
of [Palestinian] Resident Caused Occupation to Injure Her on Pretext of
'Suicide Bombing'"

Fatah Official: "We Are Defending Ourselves... Some Of Us Use Stones And
Others Knives"

Fatah Central Committee member Abbas Zaki told the Turkish news agency
Anadolu: "Armed struggle against the occupation is a legitimate right that
we will not relinquish, but this [activity] requires unity among all the
Palestinian factions and establishing a central war room and formulating
plans so that the armed struggle exacts a steep price from the enemy while
[also] benefiting the Palestinian people. We reserve the right to [engage
in] armed struggle, which is an option we will not give up, but we must
consider how and when to carry it out, and whether the climate is right to
use it to our benefit. At present we support [waging] a popular intifada
that will confound the enemy and paralyze his security and economy, and
prompt the world to address the question of how to end the world's last
remaining occupation.

"Deciding on an armed struggle now will [only] serve the enemy, who has the
military power to kill [us] on a daily basis. Today we are defending
ourselves, and we will continue to do so. We do not want escalation, but the
enemy is attacking and destroying our cities and villages. [The means] of
self-defense differ from one Palestinian to the other, some of us use stones
and others knives. [But] there is no atmosphere of a new intifada, because
there is no Palestinian unity. We are now preparing to organize [the forces]
on the ground. At present, the young people are acting without planning,
motivated [only] by their conscience and the oppression they live under."[3]

Muhammad Dahlan, a Palestinian Legislative Council member from Fatah, who is
a rival of Palestinian President Mahmoud 'Abbas, wrote on his Facebook page:
"Resistance to the occupation is a national and moral obligation and a right
sanctified and guaranteed by human and divine laws. The current national
activity is a severe blow to everyone who banned resistance to Israeli
occupation or termed it a crime. The activity [as a whole] and the
individual actions constitute...a firm message to the occupier and the
international community that the forms of resistance have changed and that,
though the waves [of resistance] may wax and wane, [the resistance itself]
will never die or cease as long as an occupation exists... There is an
urgent need to take measures and make decisions on two levels. [First,]
there is the pressing and immediate level, which is mainly declaring a clear
preference for national action and meeting all the needs in order to
continue it and defend it... At the same time, [we must] call for serious
national meetings with a clear and defined agenda instead of exchanging
blows in the media and political arena...[4]

Fatah Delegation Pays Condolence Visit To Family Of Terrorist Who Knifed Two
Israelis

A delegation of Fatah officials paid a condolence visit to the family of
Muhannad Al-Halabi, who stabbed two Jews to death on October 4, 2015. The
delegation included Fatah Central Committee members 'Azzam Al-Ahmad, a
senior PA official close to PA President 'Abbas, as well as Nabil Sha'ath,
Mahmoud Al-'Aloul and Jamal Al-Muhsin; Fatah spokesman Ahmad 'Assaf; Fatah's
secretary in Ramallah Muwaffaq Sahwil; assistance commissioner of
recruitment 'Abd Al-Mun'im Wahdan; Hassan Faraj, secretary-general of
Fatah's Shabiba youth movement; Mustafa 'Abd Al-Hadi, member of Fatah's
leadership in Ramallah and Al-Bira, and others. During the visit, 'Azzam
Al-Ahmad said on behalf of the Fatah: "The Palestinian people will continue
to defend itself against aggression and it is very determined to struggle,
no matter what the cost, until the occupation ends."[5]

The Palestinian Bar Association, whose heads are Fatah members and which
receives funds from the E.U., announced it would award an honorary law
degree to "the martyred hero Muhannad Al-Halabi," who had been studying
law.[6] The association also decided to hold its next conference in honor of
Al-Halabi.

Facebook Page Of Fatah Information Body Calls To Use Poison-Filled Syringes
Instead of Knives

In an October 8 post, the Facebook page of the "Fatah Movement Information
and Ideological Recruitment Commission" advocated the use of syringes filled
with sulphuric acid or some other poisonous substance. It said: "Please
circulate this post so it will reach the residents of Jerusalem, since this
is a more efficient and lethal [method] than using a knife. Considering that
metal detectors have been installed at the entrances to occupied Jerusalem
in order to prevent the use of knives in stabbing operations, [note that]
there is a newer and simpler method: using syringes filled with sulphuric
acid for example, or else gas or any other poisonous substance."[7]



The same day, this Facebook page also posted an obituary notice for Amjad
Hatem Mahmoud Al-Jundi, who carried out the October 7, 2015 stabbing attack
in the city of Kiryat Gat. The notice, issued by the Fatah movement in Yatta
and its environs that includes pictures of 'Abbas and Yasser 'Arafat as well
as the official Fatah logo, reads:"The National Palestinian Liberation
Movement Fatah in Yatta and its environs, including all its districts and
organizational branches, as well as the movement offices and the office of
the student youth movement, all proudly congratulate the heroic martyr Amjad
Hatem Mahmoud Al-Jundi (Al-Hushiya), who on October 7, 2015 executed a
heroic stabbing operation within the Palestinian territories of [19]48 in
defense of the Al-Aqsa mosque. Glory and eternal life to our loyal
martyrs."[8]


Obituary notice for Amjad Hatem Mahmoud Al-Jundi

Another Fatah-affiliated Facebook page, called "Fatah &#8211; Al-'Asifa Forces,"
posted an obituary of "the heroic martyr of Jerusalem, Fadi 'Aloun," who
committed an attack on security forces on Jerusalem's Haneviim Street. Like
the obituary notice for Al-Jundi, this notice too bore the portraits of
Yasser 'Arafat and Mahmoud 'Abbas, and the Fatah symbol.[9]



Obituary for Fadi Aloun

Activists On Social Media Rejoice: "25 Bullets Killed The Zionist Woman Who
Cursed The Messenger Of Allah"

The PA daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida published an investigative report by Amal
Dweikat titled "Facebook Support for Attacking Settlers," which stated that
Palestinian activists on Facebook and Twitter had responded with joy to the
attack on two settlers near Itamar, which they termed "heroic", and
especially to the photos of the man and woman who were killed.[10] The
article mentions that one these activists invited readers to watch a video
titled "25 Bullets Killed the Zionist Woman Who Cursed the Prophet Muhammad
in Al-Aqsa Mosque." The activists also associated the attack with the
burning of the Dawabshe family. Some of the activists posted inciting songs
encouraging the escalation of violence, such as "No Force in the World Will
Take Away My Weapon."[11]


Post on social media: "Video: 25 bullets killed the Zionist woman who had
cursed the Prophet Muhammad in Al-Aqsa mosque"

Columnists In PA Dailies Call For Continuing "Awakening", Clashes

Columnists in PA dailies praised the "awakening" events and some called to
continue them and to maintain the state of unrest. Yahya Rabbah, the PLO's
former ambassador to Yemen and a columnist for Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, wrote:
"Thank you, O Palestinian people, yours is the glory and the victory. The
comprehensive popular awakening has spread from the northernmost point in
the West Bank to its southernmost point, reaching Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa. It
has also dawned in Gaza and inside the Green Line, as well as in the
Palestinian diaspora, both near and far. With this ongoing awakening, the
great Palestinian people has managed to deliver a new blow to the
settlements."[12]

Akram 'Atallah, a columnist for the PA daily Al-Ayyam, wrote: "It is
necessary to maintain a certain level of conflict, without reaching a [state
of] war with rivers of blood but [also] without reverting to a state of
calm...It is necessary to continue the conflict at a certain tension
[level], as dictated by political considerations.[13]

Another Al-Ayyam columnist, Rima Nazzal, wrote: "We must allow events to
continue, develop and build up [while] rallying the masses around them and
providing the conditions for their continuation. This will be guaranteed if
[we] announce the failure of the negotiations and the collapse of the Oslo
[Accords] and if a new struggle strategy is formulated, based upon action
and providing all sectors the chance to participate and persevere in the
popular resistance strategy without giving it names or laying down its
frameworks [in advance]."[14]

if Israel is smart, they will evacuate all IDF and settlers from east of the Seperation Barrier, and call it a day.

 

We are smart perhaps more than you can imagine. This land is ours, it is our ancestral land, it is our historic home... Soooo, I suggest you concentrate on your own Di Blasio.

 

The West Bank is Occupied Territory.

its not Israel's. They haven't even annexed it, which shows their intent.

 

Your suggestion is not acceptable on the grounds that the Israel Wall is 100% in Occupied Palestine, including East Jerusalem. The Israelis need to withdraw to the 1967 border in keeping with UN Resolution 242. East Jerusalem is not part of Israel.

 

it would give the Palestinians 92% of the West Bank.

in the absense of a peace treaty, its a great interim arrangement.

 

Oh! Giving up East Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa? You cannot be serious.

 

For the umpteenth time, there are no borders this is/was a temporary <Armistice Line>...
Besides when the IDF in a defensive posture, liberates its patrimony, it is their patrimony!

 

Fairy tales have no bearing on intelligent politics

- - - Updated - - -

Temporarily, yes.

 

No deal.

 

you don't speak for the Palestinian people

i suspect that if Israel offered to withdraw to the Seperation Barrier and ended the embargo on Gaza in exchange for a seccessation of all violence, the Palestinians would say "yes".

 

Israelis are determined to claim sovereignty over East Jerusalem
Continuing to regard the illegally annexed East Jerusalem as part of Israel, the Israeli Public Security Minister, Gilard Erdan, stated yesterday that for years the Israeli government neglected to enforce its sovereignty over the Palestinian area and this has to be corrected now. "That will not only be fixed by police enforcing laws &#8211; sovereignty must be shown in all areas,&#8221; he said.
http://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/Politics-And-Diplomacy/Erdan-Government-must-express-its-sovereignty-in-Arab-neighborhoods-of-Jerusalem-423777
The occupation government of Israel does not appreciate that it was their recent attempt to take charge of the Al-Aqsa mosque and compound and assert its sovereignty over the third holiest site in Islam which has created all the present resistance by Palestinians. The Jerusalem Post also reports that Erdan said the government will use house demolitions and taking away citizenship and residency from from any Palestinian who resists the occupation, labeling such Arabs "terrorists". Such are the illegal and desperate methods of the Israelis. They haven't a legal or moral leg to stand on.


Gilad Erdan wants to demolish homes of Arab families and expel from their city of birth anyone who resists the occupation.

- - - Updated - - -

Suspect all you like. The Palestinians will not bargain away East Jerusalem.

 

for a temporary agreement?

sure they will

 

The West Bank has never been part of the state of Israel that's a fact. Acquiring territory and annexing it after WW2 regardless of whether it was defensive or not is against international law. Israel within green lines is Israel's sovereign territory recognized by most countries in the world. Again the fact is holding West Bank makes it impossible to keep Israel as a Jewish democratic state(you approve of apartheid? or turning Israel into binational/Arab state?)

 

Abbas offered Israel to keep its Jewish neighborhoods in East Jerusalem except Har Homa, that's a fact. Negotiations not likely to happen nor does Abbas who is very unpopular probably capable of carrying out a deal; Like Ronstar , and Israeli security officials like Amos Yadlan have pointed out, the fence should be the border. It makes Israel an actual Jewish democratic state, settlement blocs which everyone agrees(including Abbas except for Ariel agrees on, Israel after making fence border should annex that area) will stay in any deal and is behind the fence.
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/13/magazine/13Israel-t.html?_r=0

 

You must know that "temporary" to the Israelis is time without end. Such a notion is cockeyed.

Unlike you, Ronstar, and the Israelis, the Palestinians will not accept the Wall as the border because it is entirely within the Occupied Territories. Always and in every UN resolution the borders must be those of 1967. Any Palestinian who put his signature to surrendering East Jerusalem, whether a collaborator or patriot, would be signing his own death warrant.
