Here’s a fresh look at some Israel news stories. Perhaps you can see how these headlines form patterns—and reveal truth.
Today’s summary
comes from December 10-11, 2013.
- Dutch
Report Blames Israel for PA Failures (12/11/13, Arutz Sheva)

auditors say aid money to Gaza paid to non-workers (12/11/13, Jerusalem Post)
- PLO asks
NBC to call off production of new TV show (12/10/13, The Times of Israel)
- Abbas
Decorates Killer of 125 Israelis (12/11/13, Arutz Sheva)
----
On the day
the world gave Nelson Mandela his final honour as a model of leadership and
courage (December 10, 2013), Palestinian Authority (PA) leader Mahmoud Abbas
honoured his own true model for leadership and bravery. He gave a special award
to the widow of a terrorist who was responsible for murdering 125 Israelis.
In a special
ceremony, Abbas spoke of the slain killer Abu Jihad as “the model of a true
fighter and devoted leader”. Abbas called this killer a man who played an
“honourable national role” for his people.
It may have
sounded like the eulogies for Mandela. But it wasn’t. It was a blood-curdling
reminder of Abbas’ Jew-hate.
It makes one
wonder. Why did Mandela support such people?
More to the
point, why did Abbas give his ‘eulogy’ for a murderer on the same day the world
heard speeches of praise for the moral hero Nelson Mandela? Abbas’ eulogy seemed
to mock the Mandela eulogies.
Is this
Mandela’s reward for praising the so-called ‘Palestinians’?
Mahmoud
Abbas wasn’t the only one to mock morality during this news cycle. Two other
stories of immorality cropped up.
The first of
these stories (“Dutch Report Blames Israel for PA Failures”) came out as part
of a report by a Dutch member of the Council of Europe's Parliamentary
Assembly. The report blames Israel for Palestinian democratic shortcomings.
Among other absurdities, the Report appears to blame Israel for the failure of
Fatah and Hamas to reconcile.
Actually,
the Dutch may have a point. It is indeed Israel’s fault that these two Parties
can’t reconcile.
Hamas wants
to invade Israel immediately and kill every Jew it finds. Fatah wants to wait. It
wants to see what it can squeeze from the West before it erases Israel from the
map. The two just can’t agree who should go first.
It’s
Israel’s fault, all right. So long as Israel exists, there’s a possibility that
these two Parties will never agree.
Get it?
The second
story didn’t exactly blame Israel for an Arab problem; it simply suggested that
Israel should assume at least some responsibility to solve that problem.
It seems
that the European Union (EU) has been sending money to the PA and Gaza, to help
pay wages. The EU has been doing this since app 1994. The EU just now discovers
that the Arabs have been paying people for work never done. The EU now wonders what’s happened to some 1
billion Euro (“EU auditors say aid money to Gaza paid to non-workers”).
Apparently,
the EU has believed so strongly in the innocence and morality of Hamas and the
PA (they must have believed everything the Arabs told them), they didn’t bother
reading persistent news headlines about rampant Arab corruption. They have been
paying phantom wages for at least six years. In one instance, 90 workers of 125
at one place of employment were ‘phantom’: they had been paid; but they’d never
shown up for work.
Now the EU
wants a better-run program. They want to pressure Israel to help.
What does
Israel have to do with Arab corruption? Why should the EU make Israel
responsible for Arab behaviour?
There’s an
expression, ‘all is fair in love and war’. That expression applies to the EU’s
view of Israel; only, it’s not love the EU has in mind.
Finally,
there is an irony in this news cycle. It’s too delicious to pass up.
The Palestinian
Authority (PA) has asked NBC TV (USA) to cancel a proposed Jerusalem-based TV
mini-series. The series is to be a mystery set in the archaeologically rich
Jerusalem dig-site called, City of David.
Archaeology
is a problem for the PA. It doesn’t have any. All the digs in Israel focus on
Israel—or long-extinct primitives who supposedly lived in Israel before Jews or
anyone else came to Israel. Virtually every archaeology site offers proof that
Jews lived here before anyone the PA calls, ‘Palestinian’.
Archaeology,
in other words, helps validate Israel existence and hinders the PA’s
anti-Israel war. Therefore, the PA wants NBC to cancel the project. The first
reason the PA cites for its request is that “Such a production will legitimize
the annexation of Jerusalem.”
Think about
that. The PA fears that archaeology proves that Jerusalem is Jewish.
A TV program
set in the Jewish City of David is offensive. It serves no good cause. It legitimizes
the Jewish claim to Jerusalem. Therefore, the program must be cancelled.
What they
are saying is, they can’t stand the truth. They are dedicated to a lie. The lie
must be supported. The program must be axed.
Here’s the
best part: the Arabs actually made this request with a straight face. They have
no clue what their request reveals about them—or about the truth about
Jerusalem.
When the
world of lies is revealed, the world of Truth becomes visible.
Can you see
Truth peeking out here?
