But, Arafat is a partner for peace…

 

Contrary to Prime Minister Barak’s expectations, Arafat has concluded a series of PLO-Hamas understandings, starting three days following the signing of the 1993 Oslo Accord, which temporarily ended PLO-Hamas battles. The understandings have expanded PLO-harbored Hamas terror infrastructure in an unprecedented manner. Islamic terror has been harbored/controlled/integrated – rather than dismantled – by the PLO.  Hamas committed itself to limit itself to such terrorist acts, whose timing and location would not embarrass the PLO.                         

But, Arafat is a partner for peace…

The PLO spearheaded Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait, betraying Kuwait’s hospitality of Arafat since 1959. The PLO has devastated Lebanon, stabbing the back of its host since 1970. In 1970 it attempted to violently topple King Hussein of Jordan, who provided the PLO with operational infrastructure since 1967. In 1966 it murdered Syrian officers, while benefiting from Syrian military facilities. PLO’s treacherous inter-Arab track record, and systematic violation of inter-Arab agreements, has caused Arab countries to forbid PLO personnel to bear arms on their soil.         

But, Arafat is a partner for peace…

The PLO has been the key threat to Jordan’s Hashemite regime, the most consistent strategic ally of Iran and Iraq (since the rise of Khomeini and Saddam!) and of the terrorist regimes of Sudan and Afghanistan, and the last supporter of Ceaucescu, Hoeniker and other ruthless East European Communist dictators.   

But, Arafat is a partner for peace…

Since Oslo 1993, the PLO has employed 14 “security organizations”, ruthless oppression, summary executions, rapes, kidnapping, torture and intimidation, in order to solidify its control over fellow-Palestinians. Newsweek (May 29, 2000) refers to Arafat as a leader of a corrupt Mafia!                                                       

But Arafat is a partner for peace…

PLO persecution of Christians has resulted in a substantial Christian emigration, transforming Bethlehem and Ramallah from an 80% Christian center to an 80% dominated Muslim towns. East Jerusalem (and neighboring villages) Arabs – fearing a PLO control of the area – flood Israel’s Interior Ministry with requests for Israeli ID cards, and relocate from PA-controlled areas into Jerusalem’s municipal lines.                                                                                                         

But Arafat is a partner for peace… 

Anti-Jewish, Anti-US and anti-Israel incitement, coupled with the heralding of homicide bombers, in PA/PLO-controlled schools, mosques and media has been intensified since the 1993 signing of the Oslo Accords! Mein Kampf and The Protocols of The Elders of Zion have been bestsellers in PLO-controlled areas. The denial of the Holocaust has been a popular and a PA-establishment-supported theme.

But, Arafat is a partner for peace…                                                                                                                                                                                          

Contrary to the moderate rhetoric showered upon Israeli and Western interlocutors, Arafat has brainwashed his own youth/people to hate Jews, to idolize terrorists, and to strive for the “return to the occupied land of 1948.” The Palestinian Media Watch has documented a systematic radicalization of hate education by the PA since the 1993 signing of the Oslo Accord.                             

But Arafat is a partner for peace…

     

Would it be logical to assume that a well-documented multi-year track record of a harborer of Hamas terrorists, a treacherous serial violator of inter-Arab agreements, a brutal suppressor of human rights, an oppressor of the Christian Palestinian minority, a chief inciter against Jews, the US and Israel, a key threat to the survival of the Hashemite regime and a traditional ally of Iraq, Iran, Sudan and other terrorist regimes would be a partner for peace?!

Continued overlooking of Arafat’s actual strategy and track record, would be a disincentive for PLO compliance, condoning PLO-Hamas collaboration, radicalizing PLO expectations, intensifying anti-Israel terror, bolstering an ally of US adversaries, undermining US’ and Israel’s national security interests and minimizing the prospects of attaining a durable peace.

Palestinian school curriculum – peaceful coexistence?

Female fighters are glorified for sacrificing their sons and husbands in (Jihad) battle, as role models and as a proof that Islam ensures women’s “equality with men in sacrifice and self-sacrifice in invasions and battles” (Islamic Education, Grade 8, Card 8, Quarter 1, Semester 1, 2021–22, p. 29).

Dalal Mughrabi, the perpetrator of the 1978 terror attack on a civilian bus from Haifa to Tel Aviv – which left 38 Israelis murdered, including 13 children – is praised as a brave “female Arab jihad warrior” (Social Studies, Grade 9, Semester 1, 2021–22, p. 20).

Overview

The Palestinian Authority’s school curriculum (Please see documentation in the next section) was established in 1993 by Mahmoud Abbas, when he was Arafat’s deputy.

The school curriculum of the Palestinian Authority is the most factual description of the rogue Palestinian walk; a direct contrast to Palestinian diplomatic talk.

The school curriculum of the Palestinian Authority focusses on the pre-1967 area of Israel.

The school curriculum of the Palestinian Authority has been consistent with the 1959 Charter of Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah (8 years before the “1967 War”) and the 1964 Charter of Mahmoud Abbas’ PLO (3 years before the 1967 War), before Israel regained control of Judea and Samaria (the West Bank).

The school curriculum of the Palestinian Authority is consistent with the anti-“infidel” precepts of Islam, aimed to eliminate the “infidel” entity in the abode of Islam and bring the “infidel” to submission.

The school curriculum of the Palestinian Authority is the most reliable expression of the deeply-rooted Palestinian vision to establish an Arab entity from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean, by eliminating the “infidel” Jewish sovereignty.

The school curriculum of the Palestinian Authority is a most authentic reflection of the state of mind of the Palestinian Authority, in general, and its view of the Jewish State, in particular.

Since its establishment in 1993, the school curriculum of the Palestinian Authority – along with sermons of incitement in the mosques, public events and highlighted monuments – has shaped the state-of-mind of the Palestinian Street.

Since 1993, the Palestinian school curriculum has been the most effective production line of Palestinian terrorists.

The perpetrators of Palestinian terrorism – against rival Palestinians and against the Jewish State – represent the effectiveness of the Palestinian school curriculum as a brain-washing incubator of hatred and martyrs.

Palestinian school curriculum documented

The following January 2022 documentation of the Palestinian school curriculum was prepared by Dr Eldad Pardo of the Hebrew University, who has researched school curricula in the Palestinian Authority, Iran, the Gulf States and other Middle East entities. The report was published by The Institute for Monitoring Peace and Cultural Tolerance in School Education.

*The 2021-22 Palestinian curriculum radicalizes anti-Jewish and anti-Israel hate and incitement.

*Jews are depicted as devious, treacherous and brutal.

*The focus of “occupation” is on the pre-1967 area of Israel, such as Jaffa, Haifa, Acre, Lod, the Galilee and the Negev.

*Israel has been entirely erased from the maps of geography and social science classes.

*Israel is described as a satanic entity, and its establishment is defined as a crime, a “racist ideology,” and a “colonial conspiracy,” which is based on “false premises.”

*Women may gain equality through sacrifice and martyrdom.

*Students are encouraged to commit acts of violence and instructed to commit Jihad (Holy War) against Israelis and die as martyrs to liberate Palestine and especially the Al Aqsa Mosque.

*Students are taught that those who die as martyrs (shuhada), while killing infidels (kuffar, i.e., Christians, Jews, polytheists), a notion described as one of the “rules of jihad,” will receive God’s grace and be greatly rewarded.

The bottom line

A peace process, on the one hand, and Palestinian school curriculum, on the other hand, constitute a classic oxymoron.

The failure to precondition negotiations with the Palestinian Authority upon the dismantling of its hate-education, has doomed negotiation to failure, while energizing terrorism.

Conducting peace negotiation with the Palestinian Authority, before the dismantling of its hate-driven school curriculum, resembles negotiating an end to drug trafficking, while tolerating the drug cartels’ penetration of the political and educational systems.
