Aside from its reference to the 'treaty between nations,' the UK Consulate site also referred to Hague's trip to visit PA leaders in Ramallah as 'his first visit to Palestine,' apparently recognizing a new country of 'Palestine' before even PA leaders have declared one to exist."

(NEWS) Netanyahu: IDF Didn't Kill 12-Yr-Old; Media Should Beware Of PA Claims

"Ten years too late, the Prime Minister’s Office makes it official: Just like the Muhammed Al-Dura shooting was staged for maximum anti-Israel effect, so too international media should not publish PA claims without checking them first.

The National Information Directorate of the Prime Minister’s Bureau has released a lengthy statement relating to the case of Muhammed al-Dura, a 12-year-old Arab boy who was allegedly killed during a crossfire between Israeli and PA forces in Gaza ten years ago. The France2 television network broadcast footage of the incident around the world, with narration by Jerusalem bureau chief Charles Enderlin announcing that Israeli soldiers killed him.

An Israeli general quickly assumed IDF responsibility for the boy’s death, and the issue became a cause celebre for the PA side against Israel. Evidence produced over the ensuing months and years proving that Israel was in fact not responsible for the death were all but ignored by media and Arab populaces around the world."

(BLOG) Palestinian Authority Threats...What Do They Mean?

"By Khaled Abu Toameh: The Palestinian Authority's daily threats are not only harmful to the future of the peace process, but are also radicalizing Palestinians and pushing many of them toward the open arms of Hamas and other extremists.

In recent weeks, Palestinian leaders and spokesmen have been issuing all kinds of threats in light of Israel's refusal to extend a moratorium on settlement construction in the West Bank. In the past month alone, Palestinian officials and spokesmen made at least a dozen threats.



Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is once again threatening to resign if the peace talks fail. He's also been threatening to dismantle the Palestinian Authority.

Palestinian negotiators Saeb Erekat and Nabil Sha'ath have been threatening that the Palestinian Authority would unilaterally declare a Palestinian state on the 1967 borders.

The two, along with Abbas's chief spokesman, Nabil Abu Rudaineh, are also threatening that the Palestinians would seek the United Nations and US recognition of the Palestinian state.

Other Palestinian representatives, such as former Prime Minister Ahmed Qurei, who is one of the architects of the Oslo Accords, has, for his part, gone on the record to threaten that the Palestinians would once again resort to violence against Israel.

Qurei and other Palestinian officials said that the Palestinians don't rule out the possibility of launching another 'armed resistance' against Israel if they didn't get all what they were asking for.



These threats are similar to those that were made by Yasser Arafat and many Palestinian officials before the second intifada erupted in September 2000.

The latest threats are not only poisoning the climate and escalating tensions between Israeli and Palestinians, but are also playing into the hands of Hamas, Syria, Iran and Hizbullah – parties that have formed an unholy alliance to thwart any attempt to achieve peace in the Middle East.

Hamas and its allies are using the Palestinian Authority threats to back up their argument that Israel does not want peace and that the only language the Israelis understand is that of force and terror.

When Palestinian leaders threaten to take unilateral actions and talk about the possibility of waging another armed intifada against Israel, they are in fact supporting Hamas's position that there's no point in conducting peaceful negotiations. What the Palestinian Authority needs to realize is that its fiery rhetoric and daily threats are also likely to backfire and undermine the authority itself." (source)

(BLOG) PA TV Awards $100 Prizes For Denial Of Israel's Existence

"During the month of Ramadan, PA TV broadcast a special daily quiz program from refugee camps in Lebanon and in Syria, in which residents were asked to name five cities 'in Palestine' or 'the countries sharing borders with Palestine' in order to win $100 cash prizes. The PA TV host gave cash prizes to those who defined Israeli cities such as Jaffa, Haifa, Acre, Ramle, and others as Palestinian cities and to those who disregarded the existence of Israel as a neighboring country. Referring to Israel, the host said, 'All of Palestine is occupied.'

The following are transcripts from this PA TV program,The Cedar and the Olive Tree, whose purpose was to reinforce the message that the Palestinian Authority does not recognize the legitimacy and jurisdiction of Israel anywhere. PMW is citing a number of examples from the program, including messages that recur, to demonstrate the use of repetition as one method of political indoctrination used by the Palestinian Authority and PA TV.

PA TV is under the direct control of the office of PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas." (source)

(NEWS) Killing Of Israelis Must Be Timed Just Right, Says PA

"Mahmoud Abbas’s recent ‘condemnation’ of the Hamas terror attack that killed four Israeli civilians wasn’t a condemnation at all.

When Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas recently spoke in Washington and publicly condemned the killings of four Israelis by Hamas terrorists near Hebron, it generated a feeling of cautious optimism: 'What happened yesterday and what is happening today is also condemned. We do not want at all that any blood be shed, one drop of blood, on the part of the – from the Israelis or the Palestinians,' Abbas said.

After years during which glorifying terror and honoring terrorists has been a backbone of PA culture, was this statement heralding real change? Unfortunately, an examination of the internal PA responses to the attack, when not under the watchful eyes of Barack Obama, Binyamin Netanyahu and the world media, quickly erased hope that the PA had distanced itself from terror."

(NEWS) 800 Arrested In Massive Palestinian Crackdown On Hamas, Islamists Throughout West Bank

"The Palestinian Authority has intensified its crackdown on the Islamic opposition.

PA security forces, in what was termed an unprecedented crackdown, have rounded up nearly 800 alleged Hamas supporters over the last two weeks. In the latest security operations, Hamas reported the PA arrest of 35 political operatives throughout the West Bank.



'It has renewed its campaign against [Hamas] leaders and affiliates,' Hamas said on Sept. 13.

The crackdown was also said to have included the Hizb Tahrir movement, which has opposed Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

Over the last few weeks, PA forces have raided West Bank mosques during gatherings by Hizb followers as well as sermons by clerics linked to the pan-Islamist movement.

Hamas reported resistance to the PA crackdown against the Islamic opposition. The statement said PA forces were met by stone-throwing Palestinians during a raid in the northern city of Nablus. Hamas said PA units opened fire.

'It will not keep silent for long in the face of the continued arrest campaign and the pursuit of party leaders by security departments in the West Bank,' Hamas said. 'Our patience has begun to run out.'



The crackdown on Hamas was regarded as the worst under the administration of PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas. The PA arrests were prompted by the Hamas killing of four Israeli civilians south of Hebron on Aug. 31.

Hamas said the PA crackdown took place in virtually every city in the West Bank as well as Jerusalem. Several leading Hamas figures in detention were identified as Palestinian Legislative Council member Hamad Bitawi and political leader Majid Hamami.

Many of those arrested were brought to Jneid prison in Nablus because of overcrowding in other PA facilities. The crackdown was said to have been directed by the PA's Preventive Security Apparatus.

'This is a desperate attempt to quell the resistance,' Hamas said.

The PA has denied Hamas arrest figures. But a senior security source said hundreds of Hamas supporters have been detained and interrogated in the aftermath of two Hamas attacks on Israelis." (source)

(NEWS) PA Legislator's New Math Updates Number Of Virgins For ‘Martyrs’

"Palestinian Authority Hamas legislative Speaker Ahmad Bahr has updated from 72 to 2.5 million the number of virgins waiting for 'martyrs' upon their arrival 'in the Garden of Eden.'

In a recent speech translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), Bahr, who is the speaker of the Palestinian Legislative Council, said the 'palace' where the virgins are waiting can be entered 'only by prophets, by the righteous, and by martyrs.'"








My Opinion

Why do they have a limited or specific amount of virgins?

Because it is a lie

They only say a specific number because it is psychological and therefore more believable... If you say you will have an infinite amount of virgins then it is less believable as the person needs to be able to imagine the virgins waiting for him, you can imagine 72 very easily, it is possible to imagine 2.5 million also, although might strain your brain a bit but we as humans cannot imagine something infinite, it does not sit well with us...

Our brains do not have the capacity to imagine anything infinite or eternal and they know this, so the only way to convince someone is to provide them with an imaginable number...

This way the person can sit and obsess over his prize waiting for him and even picture them individually perhaps which then makes the action required to get these things even more urgent...

Who ever invented this fairy tale of course knew what he was doing, very smart with manipulation of people by use of basic psychology and disguised with a Godly motive, so they believe it even more... If God says you will get this then it must be true right??

These people have mastered the art of mind manipulation but fortunately it only works on the ignorance of people, people who are usually desperate, uneducated, unintellectual etc, it is very easy for them to believe this fairy tale when they have nothing...

The problem is that too many people in the world fit into this category including people you might know...

Another simple analogy is if these people believe they will receive 72 or however many virgins when they move on to "paradise" for an ETERNITY, eternity being the main word here, then what happens when the clearly horny martyrs are finished with their virgins, what then?

After all its an eternity, I would think that is hell...

If I get 72 virgins for an eternity, lets say it takes me 72 months to have my way with the 72 virgins, then for the rest of my eternity in "paradise" I have no more virgins, this would be seriously depressing dont you think or is just a load of hogwash in the first place perhaps...

There is no logic in this propaganda they fabricate to control their people...

Even if they get 20 million virgins, this will still not last them an eternity, so what is the point of having so many virgins if it makes no difference anyway...

Anyone who is willing to die for any amount of virgins, meaning they are dying for sex, show they are that desperate to have sex with underage girls, because this is what they would be, underage, this is sick! Dying for sex is sick too!!!

Talk about desperation!

(NEWS) Obama To Palestinians: Man Up

"The (Middle East) headline from President Obama's Friday press conference was his appeal to Prime Minister Netanyahu to maintain the settlement moratorium.

Fair enough, and that's what we went with this morning (we observe the holidays, so we're lagging a little here) -- or more precisely, Netanyahu's apparent agreement to do so, at least in part.

But pay attention to how Obama leads into it -- there's a signal here that so far, he's getting more joy from Israel on the peace process than the Palestinians."
