Incitement to kill: it's how Abbas leads

You can tell where a country is headed by how its leader acts. For example, according to some in the US, the US today is heading to become once again a world leader which fights for peace-through-strength. For them, the proof is, 'look at how US President Trump behaves towards North Korea, NATO, the EU, Iran and the UN'.

According to others, the US is heading for war with half the world. For them, the proof is, 'look at how Trump behaves towards North Korea, NATO, the EU, Iran and the UN'.

The evidence for both cases is the same: the behavior the US leader, President Donald Trump.

The leader of the Palestinian Authority (PA) behaves in a similar-but-different manner. One the one hand, PA leader Mahmoud Abbas reveals by how he acts what he wants his people to do. The difference between Abbas and Trump is,  Abbas's behavior is far less inscrutable than Trump's.

For example, we can tell from Abbas's behavior that he  doesn't want Statehood. He doesn't want a marketplace economy. He isn't interested in freedom. He doesn't want peace. 

Unlike Trump. Abbas never sends mixed messages to his own people. He wants only one thing: to destroy his non-Muslim neighbor, Israel.

This is why Abbas uses a constant drumbeat of anti-Israel incitement. This drumbeat comes out of every segment of Palestinian society--from media, entertainment, sports and education. 

Abbas wants to keep Palestinians motivated enough to kill Jews. If you doubt this assertion, visit the palwatch website one day every week. You'll learn what the words, "constant drumbeat of 'get-the-Jews' mean.

This drumbeat isn't for peace. It isn't for statehood. It's to incite Palestinians to want to kill Jews. For example, on today's palwatch Homepage the first three entries in the "Daily News" section are these headlines: 

-"17-year old terrorist who stabbed 3 Israeli civilians, killing 1, referred to as 'martyr' in official PA daily"; 

-"Image on Facebook page of Fatah's Bethlehem branch shows 17 year old terrorist who stabbed 3 Israeli civilians, killing 1, praising him as a Martyr";

-"Abbas' Fatah: Israel has drawn up a plan for the destruction of Al Aqsa Mosque, has no right to Jerusalem or the Western Wall".

These headlines do not promote peace with Israel. They encourage hate towards Israel and the glory that comes from from killing Jews.


Do yourself a favor. Exercise for one month. Go to palwatch one day a week for four weeks. You'll learn a lot about what Abbas wants.

Abbas doesn't instruct the media outlets he controls to encourage Palestinians to create job-training programs. He doesn't instruct his PA education infrastructure to teach about 'normalization' with Israel. He and his cronies instruct the media and the schools to sing only one 'song': hate Israel and its Jews.

Abbas doesn't clamp down on hate. He incites for it. 

It's how he leads. 

He refuses to stop paying terrorists (or their survivors) monthly pensions (the infamous PA pay-to-slay-Jews program). He's been repeating this refusal almost monthly since last year.

It's how he leads his people.

He uses the UN, the International Criminal Court and every ear he can grab to demonize Israel. He demonizes Israel as often as he can.

This is how he leads. 

He glorifies Palestinians killed trying to kill Jews.He visits the families of these so-called 'martyrs' who have been killed trying to transform his incitement to real-world action. He has his picture taken with the surviving family members. He smiles and praises their 'accomplishments'. He repeats this behavior every time a 'Palestinian' is killed by Jews.

It's how he 'leads'.

He doesn't lead 'Palestinians' towards peace with Israel. He incites them to call for 'death to Israel'.

He's obsessed. He incites. Where do you think his incitement will lead?
