Palestinierna visar ingen respekt för andras åsikter

Efter att Storbritanniens premiärminister Theresa May deltog i firandet av Balfourdeklarationen och försvarade den blev hon ett objekt för palestiniernas hatkampanj.
På Fatahs Facebooksida ritades May med ett svintryne och texten säger "barndödare". (Judar kallas ibland föraktfullt för apor och svin )

Text in capital letters in English: "CHILD KILLERS".
Text in Arabic: "Theresa May: 'We are proud of our role in the establishment of Israel.'"

Theresa May depicted as pig, in Fatah cartoon (PMW)
Fatah posted the above cartoon on Facebook, depicting British Prime Minister Theresa May with a pig's snout and carrying a Star of David, in response to her statement in British Parliament defending the Balfour Declaration. She said that Britain is "proud of the role that we played in the creation of the State of Israel, and we will certainly mark the centenary with pride."

Palestinian Media Watch has documented that PA educators, religious leaders and even children's programs have referred to Jews as "apes and pigs." Drawing British PM May as a pig holding the Star of David may be the PA's way of saying that by defending the Balfour Declaration, and thereby expressing support for a Jewish state, May herself becomes like a Jew.

Palestinska myndighetens officiella dagstidning Al-Hayat Al-Jadida publicerade en teckning där Theresa May dricker palestiniernas blod. Texten lyder: "Theresa May firar vårt blod."

Libanons premiärminister avgick i protest mot Irans inflytande

Libanons premiärminister Saad Hariri avgick oväntat under ett besök i Saudi Arabien i lördags.Han sade att han fruktar att bli mördad precis som hans far Rafik Hariri mördades 2005. Det anses allmänt att det var Hizbollah som stod bakom mordet på Rafik Hariri. Trots det har Saad suttit i samma regering som Hizbollah i snart ett år och det kanske har varit mer förvånande än hans avgång.
Saad Hariri beskyllde i hårda ordalag Iran och Hizbollah för att sprida förstörelse inte bara i Libanon utan i hela den arabiska världen.
Man kan säga att Saudiarabien och Iran i dagsläget är fiender och det är därför naturligt att Saad tillkännagav sin avgång i Saudiarabien.

Lebanon’s PM resigns, says he fears for his life, slams Iran and Hezbollah (The Times of Israel)
Lebanese prime minister Saad Hariri resigned from his post Saturday during a trip to Saudi Arabia less than a year after taking office, in a surprise move that plunged the country into uncertainty amid heightened regional tensions.

In a televised address from Riyadh, Hariri said he feared for his life: “We are living in a climate similar to the atmosphere that prevailed before the assassination of martyr Rafik Hariri” — Saad’s father, a former prime minister who was assassinated in 2005, allegedly by Hezbollah. “I am aware of what is being plotted to target my life,” he said.

“The evil that Iran spreads in the region will backfire on it,” Hariri said, accusing Tehran of spreading chaos, strife and destruction throughout the region.

“Iran has a grip on the fate of the region’s countries… Hezbollah is Iran’s arm not just in Lebanon but in other Arab countries too,” he said.


“In recent years, Hezbollah has used the power of its weapons to impose a fait accompli,” he said, reading a speech from behind a desk.

En analys av Avi Issacharoff:
With Hariri’s resignation, Lebanon now a full on Iranian proxy for all to see
"Over the last 11 months, Hariri became a fig-leaf for Hezbollah. As one of the main leaders of the opposition, his appointment as prime minister ostensibly proved Lebanon was maintaining its independence vis-a-vis Iran.

Now, however, the charade is over, and Lebanon remains as it was without the disguise — pro-Iranian, pro-Syrian, and with Hezbollah firmly in control. The Lebanese president is considered to be an Iranian and Hezbollah appointment, the Lebanese army is cooperating and coordinating with Hezbollah, and the Shiite terror group does whatever it likes in Lebanon.

It is likely that the Saudis had an influential role in Hariri’s decision to resign. To put it mildly, the Saudis were not enamored with Hariri’s choice to accept the post of prime minister less than a year ago."

NETANYAHU: LEBANESE PM’S PLEA TO HALT IRAN AGGRESSION MUST BE WAKE UP CALL (Jerusalem Post)
The international community must heed outgoing Lebanese prime minister Saad al-Hariri’s harsh words against Iranian regional aggression and act against Tehran, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Saturday night.
This should be a “wake-up call to the international community to take action against the Iranian aggression" that aims that "to turn Syria into a second Lebanon,” Netanyahu said.

Palestinierna fäster större vikt vid Balfourdeklarationen än Israel

HAD THERE BEEN NO BALFOUR DECLARATION, THE PA WOULD HAVE HAD TO INVENT IT (Itamar Marcus PMW/Jerusalem Post)
Den palestinska historieförfalskningen behöver Balfourdeklarationen för att få en startpunkt för judarnas kolonisering av deras land.

Why is the  Balfour Declaration anniversary so much more important for Palestinians than it is for Israelis?
Itamar Marcus of  Palestinian Media Watch answers this in an op-ed in today's Jerusalem Post, and explains that it is so important for Palestinians that "had their been no Balfour Declaration, the PA would have had to invent it."

Every year, the anniversary of the Balfour Declaration passes by quietly in Israel with hardly any notice. Only this year it is being noted and celebrated because it is the 100th anniversary.

However this is not true of the Palestinian Authority. Ever since Palestinian Media Watch has been monitoring the PA, the date of the Balfour Declaration was among the most important days on the PA calendar. Each year, PA schools would have special sessions discussing Balfour. In 2011, for example, the PA organized a letter writing campaign from schoolchildren to the Queen of England "to mark the 94th anniversary of the cursed Balfour promise." [Official PA daily, Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, Nov. 3, 2011]

Why is it that Israelis, who are the direct beneficiaries of the Balfour Declaration, have been ignoring it, while for Palestinians it is so important?

For Israelis the Balfour Declaration was just one step in a series of significant events that had started decades before Balfour and continued after him, all contributing to the Jewish people's return to the Land of Israel. The first wave of immigrants started in 1882, 35 years before Balfour's declaration and the first Zionist Congress was in 1897. Israelis today see the return to their land as something so normal and inevitable that no single event except for the declaration of statehood itself is regularly celebrated.

But why does the PA focus on Balfour? They should be mourning the first Aliyah in 1882 or the first Zionist Congress in 1897, more than the Balfour Declaration which was Britain's response to an already active Zionist movement.

For the PA, the Balfour Declaration is a necessary component of the Palestinian narrative. The two foundations of Palestinian ideology, both fictitious, are that a Palestinian nation existed for thousands of years and that there never had been a Jewish presence in the Land of Israel. But this left one problem. The PA needed to explain to its people why millions of Jews had immigrated from Europe and all over the world, if they had no connection to the land.

The PA's answer is colonialism and Balfour is the "proof." ...

Full text of May’s speech at Balfour Declaration centenary dinner (The Times of Israel)
...  Let us cast our minds back to the time of 1917. In an era of competing imperial powers and with Britain still embroiled in the midst of the First World War, the idea of establishing a homeland for the Jewish people would have seemed a distant dream for many; and been fiercely opposed by others.

Yet it was at this very moment that Lord Balfour had the vision and the leadership to make this profound statement about restoring a persecuted people to a safe and secure homeland. ...

...So when some people suggest we should apologize for this letter, I say absolutely not.
We are proud of our pioneering role in the creation of the State of Israel.

We are proud to stand here today together with Prime Minister Netanyahu and declare our support for Israel. And we are proud of the relationship we have built with Israel.

And as we mark one hundred years since Balfour, we look forward to taking that relationship even further. ...

...And as we look to that future, let us mark with pride what has been achieved with the creation of the State of Israel and – in Balfour’s own words – “a national home for the Jewish people.”

Hamas vill söka efter saknade terrorister

Hamas har via Röda Korset anhållit om tillstånd av Israel att söka efter 5 personer som saknas efter att en tunnel sprängdes av Israel för några dagar sedan.
Israel har svarat att man inte kommer att tillåta att terroristerna som saknas lokaliseras om det inte sker några framsteg i förhandlingar med Hamas om saknade israeler i Gaza.

Hur reagerade Hamas på detta? Jo en talesman för Hamas säger att det inte är humant att ställa sådana krav och att Israel åter en gång gör sig skyldig till krigsförbrytelser.

De palestinska ledarna borde börja se sig i spegeln. Vad har de i så fall gjort sig skyldiga till när de under flera års tid vägrat ge ut information om saknade israeler?

The Historical Significance of the Balfour Declaration (Dore Gold JCPA)
"The Balfour Declaration is a tremendously important document because it contains world recognition of the historical rights of the Jewish People to a National Home. In the Mandate document, it is stated: “Whereas recognition has thereby been given to the historical connection of the Jewish people with Palestine and to the grounds for reconstituting their national home in that country.” Thus, the Mandate and the Balfour Declaration, upon which it was based, did not create Jewish historical rights, but rather recognized a pre-existing right. ..."

De palestinska ledarna kan som vanligt inte acceptera och hantera historiska fakta.
