Mahmoud Abbas has provided further proof, if any were needed, that he and the PA he heads have no interest in a genuine peace with Israel, but is only working towards Israel’s destruction. It is perfectly clear that Abbas is simply another Arab terrorist whose goal is Israel’s destruction. His goal is not peace, nor is it a Palestinian state.

In November 2013, GUPS hosted an event at which students were encouraged to use certain stencils in order to make signs. One stencil bore the image of a well-known terrorist. Another stencil contained the message, “MY HEROES HAVE ALWAYS KILLED COLONIZERS” – plainly a reference to the killing of Jews because GUPS considers that Jews living in Israel, Judea and Samaria are colonizers who stole Arab land.
In addition, Mohammad Hammad, the president of GUPS, posted several messages on Tumblr which reflected his desire to murder Jews, Israelis, and supporters of Israel. He posted a photo on his Tumblr page, in which he is holding a knife with its sharp blade in the air. In a caption to the photo, Hammad openly threatened murder:
“I seriously can not get over how much I love this blade. It is the sharpest thing I own and cuts through everything like butter and just holding it makes me want to stab an Israeli soldier.”

A great interview on Palestinian Hate Speech with Irwin Cotler, a Canadian Parlamentarian. Here’s a sneak peak:
“My mother used to say to me that ‘life and death is on the tip of the tongue.’ While I was getting this at home, I would be going to school where the refrain was ‘sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me,’” the former Canadian justice minister and attorney general told The Times of Israel during a visit to Jerusalem.
“I learned that wasn’t true; that words can hurt.”
A week after the Israeli cabinet dedicated the bulk of its weekly meeting to Palestinian incitement, the Canadian parliamentarian regrets not having been more vociferous in highlighting what he believes to be widespread, state-sanctioned Palestinian incitement.
“I must admit, I probably haven’t spoken out against it as much as it deserves to be spoken out against. Maybe, like others who wanted to see the peace process sustained and advanced, I didn’t take as strong a position against [Palestinian] hate speech as I should have … I acknowledge this as a failure on my part.”

We strongly support the Israeli Government giving priority to the issue of Palestinian Authority (PA) incitement to hatred and murder of Jews and demonization of Israel in their schools, TV and radio, newspaper, magazines, sermons, speeches and children’s camps. As a report in the New York Times puts it, according to a new presentation produced by the Israeli government, “Adolf Hitler is quoted on the websites of Palestinian Authority schools. A young girl appears on Palestinian television, describing Jews as ‘barbaric monkeys, wretched pigs’ and the ‘murderers of Muhammad,’ the Islamic prophet. Maps on the Facebook page of the Palestinian presidential guards do not show Israel. President Mahmoud Abbas himself embraced as ‘heroes’ released Palestinian prisoners who killed Israelis.”
In order for the conflict to end and be replaced by a genuine peace, all PA incitement must cease entirely.
