Just last week, the head of the Palestinian Authority (Fatah) Mahmoud Abbas, aka Abu Mazen, was allowed to speak before the UN General Assembly and have its flag raised at the United Nations. Abbas stated the Palestinian Authority was no longer bound by the Oslo agreements with Israel. Abbas seemed to hint that Israel was not a willing peace partner; we wrote on the matter here.
An upsurge of Palestinian terror attacks against Jews during Sukkot has killed 4 innocent Israelis and orphaned 14 children. As Jewish blood flows in the streets of Jerusalem, the Palestinians are celebrating, calling the terrorists âheroes.âÂ
A series of deadly Palestinian attacks shook Jerusalem, sparking protests, demonstrations and tension throughout the capital.Â
Nineteen-year-old Muhannad Halabi from nearby Ramallah in the Palestinian Authority (PA) territories carried out the attack, which took place near the Lionâs Gate of the Old City. Following the stabbing, the terrorist grabbed a gun from one of his victims and started shooting at security forces, who responded and shot him dead. In another incident early Sunday morning, a Palestinian terrorist stabbed a 15-year-old Israeli in the chest near the Old City of Jerusalem. He survived the attack and is being treated at a Jerusalem hospital. Police forces shot and killed the terrorist.
United with Israel reports, In response to the heightened security measures, the PA denounced what it termed a âpolicy of escalationâ by âIsraeli occupation authorities against our people in âoccupied Jerusalemâ and the West Bank,â Palestinian media reported.Â
Ok, so let me get this right: Palestinian man stabs four Israeli citizens, killing two, and is heralded as a âhero.â The Israelis take action to protect their citizens, and theyâre condemned by the Palestinians as creating a âpolicy of escalationâ? And this comes from the Islamic terrorist group the West tries to legitimize by giving them a platform at the UN General Assembly? And now, is it any wonder Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu glared down the general assembly for 45 seconds?
Netanyahu remarked, â70 years after the murder of six-million Jews, Iranâs rulers promised to destroy my country, murder my people, and the response from this body, the response from nearly every one of the governments represented here, has been absolutely nothing. Utter silence. Deafening Silence,â Netanyahu said in his condemnation of the United Nations.âÂ
But whatâs even more telling, is that President Obama ordered UN Ambassador Samantha Power and Secretary of State John Kerry to a video conference right before Netanyahuâs speech â coincidence, hardly.
Ask yourselves, would we allow such to happen in America? Oops, actually we do; weâre allowing criminal illegal immigrants with multiple felonies to kill American citizens â some in what have been established as sanctuary cities. Sadly, President Obama takes no action to protect American citizens â whereas a leader, such as Prime Minister Netanyahu, does.
Ever since Obama announced the Iranian nuclear deal, releasing hundreds of billions of dollars, Abbas and his crew have become more emboldened. Weâve shared with you the PA practice of naming streets and putting up monuments in honor of suicide bombers and others it deems as âheroesâ â to include those who fight in Fatahâs military wing, Al Quds and Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade.
So how did we come to this point where we have an American president who provides funding to the number one state sponsor of Islamic terrorism? How did we get to the point where we display such a blatant disrespect to our supposed best ally in the Middle East â with Prime Minister Netanyahu consistently stating thereâs a strong relationship between Israel and America. And why did the Obama administration not strongly condemn allowing Mahmoud Abbas to speak before the UN General Assembly and have the PA flag raised? Doggone, I forgot, in 2010 the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) was upgraded by President Obama from a mission to a General Delegation in Washington, D.C., where its flag flies. Me? I wouldnât give the PLO â after the Muslim Brotherhood, the original Islamic terrorist organization â an upgrade from regular to medium fries and drink.
âThe outburst of violence follows PA leader Abu Mazenâs speech at the UN General Assembly in which he declared he was âno longer boundâ by the Oslo Accords and claimed that Israel will âbear all its responsibilitiesâ.Â
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the speech âdeceitful and inciting violenceâ.Â
On Sunday, October 4, Netanyahu slammed the Palestinian leadership for calling the Old City terrorist a âhero.â âLook at the âmoderatesâ at the Palestinian Authority, our alleged peace partner,â said Netanyahu. âWe are fighting a bitter war on terror, and we shall do so vigorouslyâ.
We should all consider Israelâs degraded security situation thatâs resulted from these seven years of Barack Obama; sorry, the correlation must be analyzed and thatâs a proper assessment. And you can imagine that Hamas is just waiting for their opportunity, as Iran will certainly rearm and reconstitute.
Is there any reason we wouldnât understand why Netanyahu was in Russia to meet with Vladimir Putin? Netanyahu probably knew very well that Russia would be beginning air strikes in Syria. I presume Netanyahu wanted to know whoâd be targeted and how much Russia would control the Iranian Quds Force and Hezbollah. You can bet Netanyahu, a former Israeli Defense Force (IDF) Airborne Commando â not a community organizer â gave Putin a like stare as he did at the UN. Netanyahu made certain Putin knew Israeli jets and military force would come into Syria if they felt a threat from the Quds Force or Hezbollah was probable.
Can you imagine what Israel must now face, a destabilizing and emboldened enemy in Abbas and Fatah. A threat from the south with Hamas. And to the north, a strengthened Syria allied with Iranian Quds force, Hezbollah, with Russia providing air support. This has all occurred under the failed foreign policy of Obama. Back in August 2011, Prime Minister Netanyahu told our Congressional delegation not to fully withdraw our forces from Iraq. He expressed his concern that a void would be created and it would be filled â and not by good guys.
Netanyahuâs assessment then and his UN General Assembly speech last week clearly illustrates the difference between a leader and a skilled deliverer of rhetoric, a politicized community organizer. America certainly got the short end of that deal.
