.US designated #Hamas terrorist incites #Palestinians to jihad against Jews in Judea & Samaria saying this land means more to Jews than Tel-Aviv or anywhere.

Bc it does: Jews are from Judea.
seizing it

as they have seized Jews’ most important holy site, the TM

delegitimizes… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

.Common language suggests tightly coordinated plan by the PA, Hamas, PIJ dating back before the May, 2021 Gaza episode. Iran colludes. Other groups, like the newly formed Lion’s Den & “Battalions” from Nablus, Jenin & several Pal cities, compete for leadership of “the resistance”

.Common language among the PA’s Fatah, PIJ, & Hamas on reporting Friday’s car ramming incident in which 3 Jews were murdered at a bus stop, 2 young children, in the on- going Israeli-Palestinian low-level war includes the following phrases:

“natural response”
“Crimes of the

Occupation”
“Occupied Jerusalem operation”

The #PA’s Al Aqsa Brigades, part of Fatah, goes farthest in its efforts to delegitimize Judaism

claiming, not only

“Jerusalem is ours”

but that Jewish presence

“DESECRATES OUR SANCTITY.”

.The PA’s Abbas spells out the symbolism & connects the dots for his domestic audience & for American tax-payers who have forked over more than half a $billion to the PA under @SecBlinken’s misguided Palestinian policy

.This comes at a time when American tax-payers are feeling the bite of inflation & a drop in their standard of living with food up almost 20% & rent costing more than a third of income for over 40% of Americans.

This comes at a time when Congress & the Second Gentleman have

.demanded a national antisemitism policy bc AS in the US has reached a record high.

There is nothing more #antisemitic than calling Jewish presence on Jews’ holiest site “desecration.”

There is nothing more antisemitic than claiming all of #Jerusalem, the holiest city of Jews

belongs to non-Jews.

It is also against International Law on several counts:

1) For over 100 years IL has granted Jerusalem to the Jews as well as Judea & Samaria.

1920 San Remo, 1923 Lausanne confirmed in the 1945 UN Charter,
WHICH NO LAW SUPERSEDES

This land was only

belongs to non-Jews.

This land was only

called the “West Bank” when Jordan illegally occupied it for 19 years: 1948-67.

IT MEANS THE WEST BANK OF JORDAN

2) attacking, delegitimizing an existing state’s sovereignty is forbidden according to the UN charter & in addition, there is a whole body of UN law requiring

respect for an existing state’s sovereignty as a pre-condition for statehood. This is the basis for the US’s strong support of Ukraine against Russia.

3) using child soldiers & killing unarmed civilians & children is against IL

Anyone carrying out these activities is the real

criminal. Yet, #Palestinians continue their decades long practice of honoring their criminals, calling them “martyrs” & passing out sweets.

.@POTUS’s Palestinian policy is a failure. Not only is it against American values to give tax-payers’ $ to people honoring those who murder children & unarmed civilians, but Taylor Force’s family is suing the Biden Adm bc this is against US law.

The PA is also violating its

obligations under Oslo, which is also IL, to control militant groups operating in territory under its jurisdiction since 1996.

.A more effective US #Palestinian policy would recognize that the PA & its erstwhile frenemies are engaging in a low level war against the only reliable US ally in the Middle East. This war seeks to destabilize & take control of all of Jerusalem & the cities cited below:

.This war has the strong support of Palestinian society. We might call this “an all of Palestinian society approach,” mirroring the Biden Adm’s “all of government approach” in its domestic policy.

It makes no sense to continue funding the PA.

It makes no sense to continue

the “status quo” on the Temple Mount when the Palestinians have violated it repeatedly by building 2 giant mosques underground & destroying ancient Jewish ruins. The Jordanians colluded with the Palestinians to permit this, thus violating their obligations under the status quo.

It is antisemitic to claim Jews can’t pray on their holiest site.

While claiming Jews desecrate a purported Muslim site, Muslims desecrate it constantly.
