How much more ridiculous can Palestinian Authority Arabs make themselves appear before foreign ministers stop taking them seriously?
By Jewish News Syndicate (JNS)
Fatah Central Committee Member Nabil Sha'ath said that despite his belief that the Israeli-Palestinian Authority “peace talks” failed, but the PA will remain in the discussions to force Israel to release terrorist prisoners. “We have committed to negotiations for a period of nine months, and by then we hope to see all 104 of our […]
The Palestinian Authority for years has been trying to destroy evidence of the existence of the Holy Temples, and new fears have arisen that they may try to the same in a Gush Etzion location of artifacts from the Hashmonean Dynasty, when the Miracle of Hanukkah occurred.

Bleeding heart, pro-Hamas groups should be putting their PR skills to work at better causes, such as breaking the Egyptian siege on Gaza.
The IDF’s elimination of a Hevron-area Salafist jihad terror cell that plotted to kill Palestinian Authority officials as well as Israelis is evidence that Abbas cannot control terror, not even against his own people.
On November 18, Palestine’s UN delegation cast a vote for the first time as a non-member observer state, after the General Assembly had voted to upgrade the Palestinians’ “entity” status a year ago. Chief Palestinian UN observer Ambassador Riyad Mansour told reporters it was a symbolic step, “but it is an important one because it […]
The Defense Ministry announced Monday it already has approved the planning stage for new homes already announced for construction in Judea and Samaria. The reporting by run-of-the-mill media of every announcement and step in the bureaucratic procedure for new homes in Judea and Samaria gives the impression that Israelis building double or triple the actual […]

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said he would be willing to speak to the Knesset, but only on the issues he chooses. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a public statement last week called on Abbas to address the Knesset and said he would travel to Ramallah to speak to the P.A. leadership. “Netanyahu comes […]
Saudi Arabia is loudly silent on the deal with Iran, but its royal billionaire prince who owns part of Twitter and Apple says “we” are concerned. And guess who is “We”? Saudi Arabia and Israel.

Hamas has a new ambulance, thanks to the efforts of their Neturei Karta anti-Zionist comrades. How long will it take before Hamas tries to use it to smuggle terrorists into Israel?
The Palestinian Authority negotiating team has found its way down from a weak limb on a tall tree by saying that they resignations are final but that they will continue “temporarily” until replacements are found. Presumably, that will happen in around five months, when the nine-month period U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry’s Grand Plan […]
Israel employs more than 100,000 Palestinian Authority residents, including 20,000 who work for Jews in Judea and Samaria, according to new statistic released Thursday by the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics. The number includes nearly 35,000 who work without permits. Using Palestinian Authority census data, which many sources say is exaggerated on the upside, 30 […]
Palestinian Authority terrorists threw rocks and a firebomb at Jewish motorists in at least two locations in Judea and Samaria Tuesday, but they also widened their activities to include a PA official, whose empty car was riddled with bullets. Abu Zaida, a senior official for Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah movement, said that shortly after he parked […]
Palestinian Authority Arabs on popular service committees in U.N.-run villages, commonly known as refugee camps, are shutting down UNRWA offices and programs in northern Samaria Wednesday and Thursday in protest of “systematic reductions” in services for residents, the Bethlehem-based Ma'an News Agency reported. Similar protests have occurred in Gaza where UNRWA is the dominant influence […]
Hamas never has held its fire for very long. The recent escalation in violence suggests it is acting out of weakness and not of strength, knowing Israel will retaliate every time, as it did again Tuesday.
A Palestinian Authority escaped a checkpoint inspection and tried to run down a soldier and guards on the road from Maaleh Adumim to Jerusalem shortly after noon Tuesday A soldier and policemen were slightly injured in the hit-and-run attack. A soldier at the checkpoint fired and hit the fleeing car, but the driver escaped unhurt. […]
Netanyahu played one-up on Abbas Monday, inviting to speak at the Knesset. A reciprocal invitation from Abbas for the Prime Minister to speak in Ramallah is not likely.
A court has thrown out “showcase” indictments against supposed “price tag” vandals, two weeks after judges acquitted Lieberman, raising questions of a witch hunt against the right wing.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry told reporters Monday he is postponing what was supposed to be a visit to Israel and the Palestinian Authority next week and will return to the region after the Thanksgiving holiday.

Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas, undoubtedly under pressure from the Obama administration, has backed off his latest threat to halt the American-led direct talks with Israel.

Palestinian Authority terrorists tried to kill Jewish motorists in the area of Shechem, in northern Samaria, Sunday by hurling burning tires on the highway in an attempt to trap vehicles in a ball of flames or force the driver into an accident. Another terrorist in the same area was caught at a checkpoint with an […]
Archaeological artifacts are some of Israel’s most cherished treasures. They also are cherished by thieves, but the Antiquities Authority has caught one of them, a PA Arab, red-handed.
For two decades, the upper echelon of the IDF and Israeli media have been in a two-faced mindset to pretend terror hardly exists while pushing Abbas’ demands by warning that terror is the alternative.
Vandals set fire to a building in an Arab village Wednesday night, leaving behind a painted slogan, “Hi from Eden – revenge,” referring to Palestinian Authority terrorist victim Eden Atias who was stabbed to death on Wednesday. A military court on Thursday extended the 16-year-old terrorist’s remand until next week, when authorities will ask to […]
Israel Air Force aircraft targeted two concealed rocket launchers in northern Gaza early Thursday afternoon after terrorists in Hamas-controlled Gaza attacked with two mortar shells , one on Wednesday and one Thursday morning.

The fatal stabbing of an IDF solider by a Palestinian Authority terrorist Wednesday was only “an isolated incident,” according to an unidentified Palestinian Authority official quoted by The New York Times. The newspaper said the source was not authorized to speak publicly before PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas has made a statement, which has not been […]
The good news is that Saeb Erekat and his sidekick finally have made good on their perennial threat to quit as Abbas’ “negotiators.” The bad news is that they might return or, worse, that they will be replaced.
Kerry warned Israel faces a new intifada if it does not choke itself to death. A lone PA terrorist, on cue, killed a soldier, and everyone screams ‘Third Intifada.’ It won’t happen – unless Kerry continues to incite.
American-born Jessica Montell said she is stepping down as Executive Director of the leftwing B’Tselem organization with satisfaction that the 25-year-old group has grown into a ”large, strong organization.” She emphasized B’Tselem’s campaign against what she called “severe violations of human rights in” in Judea and Samaria, referred to by her as “ the Occupied […]
A Palestinian Authority woman pulled out a knife in front of a soldier at a checkpoint in Samaria Monday and was arrested before she could carry out a terrorist attack.

The widow of Yasser Arafat and the Palestinian Authority paid for the Swiss medical tests on the late Palestinian leader’s body that showed he did not die of natural causes. The Washington Free Beacon reported Friday that a spokesperson for the University Centre of Legal Medicine in Lausanne told the newspaper that Suha Arafat and […]
The Oslo Accords state that the Palestinian Authority is committed to stop all incitement. Kerry last week openly warned Israel of a new intifada. On the other hand, the US did not commit itself not to incite.
Belgium is hinting that others in the European community may soon follow suit.
In a remarkable televised interview, US Secretary of State John Kerry placed all the blame for any snags in the peace talks on Israel and threatened Israel of dire consequences if the current talks are not resolved to this US administration's satisfaction on the timetable set up by this administration.
Marwan Barghouti, imprisoned by Israel in 2002, is serving five life sentences for his role in multiple terrorist attacks within Israel. He is one of the legendary leaders of what is widely known as the Second Intifada, in which more than a thousand Israelis were killed and many thousands were injured. But Barghouti is a […]
In public releases, and while in Israel, the U.S. sounds even-handed. But in territory controlled by the Palestinian Authority, the U.S. secretary of state was pointing a finger, it was pointed only towards the Israeli side, at the same time that his other hand was filled with additional $millions for the Arab Palestinians.
In Bethlehem on November 6, 2013, Secretary Kerry announced an additional $75 million in support of the Palestinian Authority’s High Impact Micro-Infrastructure Initiative (HIMII), bringing the total U.S. Government commitment to $100 million for the initiative. Germany has committed over $10 million to HIMII projects in the PA. According to the State dept., HIMII projects […]

The Palestinian Authority negotiators made a pitch for a Got Talent show and quit in protest over Israel’s plan to build homes for Jews. Abbas played his role to the hilt and refused the resignations.
The Gaza front heats up again. The IDF killed two terrorists in a combined land-aerial counter-terrorist maneuver. Hamas targeted soldiers with mortar shells. Heavy fighting continues.
The only good news about media ignorance is that the bigger lies newspapers create, the brighter will be the light of truth what the lies eventually come apart.
Israel frees terrorists as a building permit for homes for Jews. Abbas should be happy because he thinks new homes will be turned over to the PA. But he has to cry. It’s part of the script.
What do these events have in common? 1: Settlers burned Arab trees in Gush Etzion; 2: The IDF assaulted an Arab driver near Hevron; 3: IDF bulldozed Arab land near Shechem. Answer: Media reported them, and they are lies.
The government finally has told the truth. The Supreme Court, before rejecting an appeal to stop the release of terrorists, asked if it could be delayed. The government said, “No, we promised Obama.”
The Palestinian Authority has a new and invincible weapon to sidestep the “peace process” and force Jews out of Judea and Samaria. It has announced it will plant 750,000 olive trees, enough to cover all of “Area C.”
The Jewish Home took a stand against freeing more terrorists. It knew it would lose. The Likud won the battle but may have lost the next war – the one that is fought at the election polls.
An IDF pilot made an emergency landing in Bethlehem when he noticed a malfunction in his Blackhawk helicopter Wednesday, according to Israel Defense. Air Force technicians arrived to report the chopper under the protection of army soldiers. The helicopter was on a training mission at the time, and the pilot returned the aircraft to its […]

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry agreed in a meeting in Rome Wednesday that “no deal [with Iran] is better than a bad deal.” Iran “shouldn't have a plutonium heavy water plant, which is used only for nuclear weapons,” the Prime Minister said. “They should get rid of the advanced […]
Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas was in Lithuania this week to solidify backing for his agenda that would prevent Jews from living in Judea and Samaria and turn the areas into exclusive Palestinian Authority territory. His nine-year strategy of drumming up support with visits around the world has won him virtually universal backing. Lithuanian President […]
Obama can start praying that a Jerusalem court finds Avigdor Lieberman guilty for breach of trust. If he is acquitted, he will return as Foreign Minister, and then sparks will fly.
The European Union has brought 65 companies to Israel Monday and Tuesday to strengthen relations despite the controversy over its policy to bar grants for activities in Judea and Samaria. The “Mission for Growth” was headed by European Commission Vice-President Antonio Tajani and is focused on space technologies, information and communication technology and tourism. There […]
A mob of dozens of Palestinian Authority rock-throwers injured five Jews on the road from Tekoa, in eastern Gush Etzion, to Jerusalem Tuesday morning. At least one of the victims was evacuated by ambulance, and his condition was described as good. The mob, which included women and children, smashed windshields with large rocks in an […]
No arrests were conducted during a four days of Muslim feast, which created a backup in roundup assignments.
Israel insisted in July that it would release 104 terrorists in four stages as a test of Abbas’ willingness for peace. Three murders and two attempted murders later, Israel will bow to Kerry for stage two.
Soldiers on routine patrol along the Gaza security fence Monday morning discovered a large bomb that terrorists had planted for detonating when an army vehicle passes.

Neither Israel nor the Palestinian Authority will accept a peace agreement given the current political situation and mood, former Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) chief Yuval Diskin said on Israel's Army Radio station Monday.

The Palestinian Authority misspent more than $3 billion in European Union financial aid between 2008 and 2012, the British newspaper The Sunday Times reported, citing an unpublished report by the European Court of Auditors. “Significant shortcomings” existed in the PA’s management of EU aid, and the PA lacks measures to address corruption in that area, […]
The “peace talks” would explode if the Knesset were to virtually eliminate the chance of dividing Jerusalem. Count on Netanya and Livni to force a Knesset panel to change a decision that could blow up the talks.
IDF troops shot the infiltrator as he attempted to breach the town's fence.
Tens of thousands of Arabs worked in Gush Katif and Israel before the Intifada in the late ‘80s. Today, literally today, a Gaza man said he is so poor he is ready to sell his daughter. Can the West connect the dots?
Four young Palestinian Authority girls died of suffocation in a car near Hevron while their parents were picking olives Thursday. One other girl in the car survived but is in critical condition, according to the Bethlehem-based Ma'an News Agency. The girls were locked inside the vehicle and were unable to unlock the doors. The ages […]
The political “center” always warps the memory of Rabin with its “peace is made with enemies” agenda, but when Peres spouts the "status quo can’t continue," he can't see it does not exist.
The IDF released a video Wednesday showing how it blew up a terror tunnel reaching Israel. The problem is there are hundreds of others waiting to be found and blown up before terrorists blow up Israelis.
Jews visit Rachel’s Tomb Tuesday to pray that she cries for them. Today, the anniversary of her death, the Palestinian Authority has failed to turn it into a Muslim holy site. Chalk up one for the truth.
The IDF has discovered a smuggling tunnel loaded with explosives in central Gaza, one day after the military exposed a tunnel that that had been dug to a kibbutz. Outgoing IDF Spokesman Yoav Mordecai said that soldiers will explode the central Gaza tunnel. The government and military policy generally has been to bomb terrorists’ tunnels […]
It seems the PA delayed the report on charges that Israel poisoned Arafat because there is no proof; it settles for the "possibility” he was poisoned. Chemists tell The Jewish Press: Nonsense.
Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas called a meeting Sunday night with top security officials to discuss increasing unrest, but his concern is stopping riots against his government and not at halting terrorist attacks on Israelis/ The PA’s official WAFA website reported Monday, “Abbas listened in the meeting attended by Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah and Minister […]
Abbas is a master schnoorer. The US forked over another $!48 million to Ramallah, which is peanuts to the $2.7 billion the EU says it wasted. Abbas has no money to pay workers – again – and blames Israel.
Peace with the Palestinian Authority and even with Iran is to be made only by Israel and not by the Arabs and Persians, if one is believe the remarks by the grandson of Yitzchak Rabin Saturday night at an annual rally to mark the former Prime Minister‘s assassination in 1995. Yonatan Ben-Artzi made absolutely no […]
The European Union has donated tents to dozens of Arabs in Area “C” in the southern Hevron Hills to help them dig in for the winter in their attempt to create “facts on the ground” and take over the region that officially is under Israeli control as agreed in the Oslo Accords. The Arabs, most […]

Knesset Members Meir Sheetrit of Tzipi Livni’s HaTnuah party and Aliza Lavie of Lapid’s Yesh Atid) were able to thwart an anti-Israel initiative promoted by Palestinian Authority representatives at a meeting of the Inter-Parliamentary Union in Geneva this week. The Arabs tried to insert an “emergency motion” into the agenda that called for all parliaments […]
Another Big Lie is exposed. Rav Ovadia favored giving up land for peace in 1993. But when the PA blew up the Oslo Accords 10 years later, the rabbi ruled, “Oslo is null and void. This is not the peace I meant.”
Abbas is doing a great job to make the PA non-existent. He claims cooperation with the IDF is great but the IDF must stop entering Arab cities to arrests terrorists. Even Livni is not that naïve to agree.
The Hamas terrorist organization has scolded Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas for sending condolences to the family of Rabbi Ovadia Yosef. Abbas sent his message of sorrow via 12 visiting Knesset Members who met with him in Ramallah. Abbas told them he has previously met with members of the revered rabbi’s family. One of Rabbi […]
Five years ago, the IDF abandoned a base called Shdema near Bethlehem, part of “Area C” designated as Israeli-controlled, and tried to turn it over to Arabs. A group of women stopped the army.
Be careful what you wish for. Netanyahu again turns Abbas’ refusal to see Israel as a Jewish state a "red line.” If Abbas “doesn’t miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity,” fine. But what if Abbas calls his bluff?
Several hours before a PA terrorist gunned down a nine-year-old Jewish girl in Psagot, PA security forces in Jenin cracked down on local criminals while Hams tried to set up cells under the PA’s nose.
“Peace talks” resumed on condition of Israel’s freeing 104 terrorists, one batch at a time as a test of PA “peace.” Abbas did not keep his end of the deal, but you can count on Israel to let him off the hook.
President Shimon Peres and Knesset Members Moshe Feiglin and Avigdor Liberman were shared the same podium Thursday on the 12th anniversary of the assassination of Tourism Minister Rechavem (Ghandi) Ze’evi at the hands of three Arab terrorists in a Jerusalem hotel. “Ghandi,” as he was popularly known, fought in the War for Independence and was […]
More than two-thirds, 68 percent to be exact, of Palestinian Authority Arabs believe that American intervention in Middle East policies harms stability in the region, according to a new poll carried out in mid-September by the Palestinian Center for Public Opinion. The same survey also revealed that a tiny majority of 50.3 percent favors the […]
Terror from Gaza resumes. The army spotted two armed terrorists and opened fire before the cell could carry out an attack on a nearby Jewish community. Aircraft are looking for the terrorists.
The Palestinian Authority puts a new meaning into the term “red line.” Fatah, headed by PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas, states on Facebook,"Blood of Martyrs (Shahids) that draws the borders of the homeland."
How can the government stop building in Judea and Samaria without saying so? Simple. Just stop “settlements” from buying land from Palestinian Authority Arabs. The High Court will decide who is right.
“Truth or Consequences” was an old TV show. An entertainer performed a stupid stunt if he could not answer an equally stupid trivia question. Now Netanyahu and Obama are playing, but it is not a game.
Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas continues a quiet and determined global campaign for recognition of the Palestinian Authority as a country and now has brought Haiti and Grenada into the growing number of countries who have established diplomatic relations. Foreign Minister Riyad al-Malki signed the protocols with his Haitian and Grenadian counterparts at United Nations […]
J Street, the pro-Palestinian Authority Jewish lobby that calls itself “Pro-Israel,” offered weak applause to Israel’s chief negotiator Tzipi Livni when she defended the IDF in a speech Saturday night at the opening of the annual J Street conference. While Livni received a rousing welcome and warm support from the crowd for her comments defending […]
Obama was not joking at the UN. He actually said, “The world is a more stable place today than it was five years ago.” Does he watch TV? Does he know that Islamic terrorists killed 400 people in five days?
Jerusalem police once again have prohibited Jews from visiting the Temple Mount because of security officials' unintended admission that they cannot or do not want to deal with violent Arabs. Officially, police say that they blocked the planned visit of hundreds of Jews to the holy site on Tuesday, the sixth day of the Sukkot […]
When we wrote two months ago here that Obama’s reincarnated “peace process” was doomed from the start, we stated the ugly truth: Terrorists would drive in the first nail. Yet, the PA blames Israel.
By Jewish News Syndicate (JNS)
Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee Chairman Avigdor Lieberman said Sunday that the absence of a Palestinian Authority condemnation of the kidnap-murder at the hands of a PA Arab terrorist over the weekend proves that leadership of Mahmoud Abbas leadership has no intention of making peace with Israel. “The fact that the Palestinian Authority hasn’t […]

Israel will allow building materials for private projects into Gaza for the first time since 2007, when the Palestinian terror group Hamas seized control of the territory. An Israeli defense official said that Israel’s decision came after a request by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. Israel previously has allowed the shipment to Gaza of cement, […]
