Why Does the West Give Abbas a Free Pass?
(Jerusalem Post) Melanie Phillips - Numerous Western media outlets described the murderous attacks by Palestinians ramming their cars into Israelis in the street as "car crashes" or "traffic accidents." Yet Fatah's official Facebook page featured cartoons, lyrics and other messages encouraging Palestinians to run over Israelis with their vehicles. Referring to all Jews visiting the Temple Mount as "settlers," Mahmoud Abbas has whipped up hysteria and incited war on Israel, declaring: "We will not allow our holy places to be contaminated," praising the Palestinians hurling missiles from al-Aksa as "heroes." Marking the 10th anniversary of the death of Yasser Arafat, Abbas declared: "He who surrenders one grain of the soil of Palestine and Jerusalem is not one of us," and that "Jerusalem will be solely Palestinian."
