Palestinians: A Vote to Destroy Israel

by Bassam Tawil, GATESTONE •  May 24, 2022

  • These Palestinians are evidently fed up with the rampant corruption and bad governance of the Palestinian Authority leadership. Moreover, these Palestinians who no longer support Abbas are stating that they have no interest in any peace process with Israel.
  • As the last poll showed, 70% of the Palestinians are opposed to an unconditional return to peace negotiations with Israel. Another 58% expressed opposition to the two-state solution.
  • The truth is that Abbas called off the elections [in 2021] because he was afraid that Hamas would defeat his Fatah faction in the parliamentary election, as took place in 2006.
  • The results of the Birzeit University elections prove that Abbas’s fears were not unfounded. Had he insisted on proceeding with the presidential and parliamentary elections, it is most likely…. that Hamas would have taken control of the Palestinian presidency and parliament.
  • Hamas, for its part, said that it sees the results of the university election as a vote of confidence in its policy of pursuing deadly terrorist attacks against Israel.
  • The students who voted in support of Hamas fully identify with the terrorist group’s covenant, which states that “Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it.”
  • Palestinians have been radicalized by their leaders and media to a point where they do not want to hear anything about a peace process with Israel. In fact, they want to see Israel vanish from the map, as the results of the student council elections and the polls clearly illustrate.
  • The results of the Birzeit University elections and the polls stand in sharp contrast to the views expressed by the Biden administration concerning the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Over the past year, Biden administration officials have repeatedly stated their commitment to the “two-state solution” while totally ignoring the widespread support among the Palestinians for the elimination of Israel.
  • The Hamas victory at the university’s student council should sound alarm bells in the Biden administration, especially the State Department, regarding the true intentions of the Palestinians – that their sole commitment is to have a state that would replace Israel, not one that would exist peacefully alongside Israel. That is why it is nonsensical to pressure Israel to make any territorial (or non-territorial) concessions to the Palestinians, who are openly proclaiming that they want to establish a Palestinian state on the ruins of Israel and the bodies of dead Jews.

The Palestinians have once again shown that they have not given up the dream of destroying Israel and replacing it with an Islamist state funded by Iran and its terrorist proxies, including Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) and Hezbollah.

On May 18, Hamas, on the US list of Foreign Terrorist organizations, and which does not believe in Israel’s right to exist, scored a landslide victory in the elections for Student Council at Birzeit University, one of the most important Palestinian academic institutions in the West Bank.

The Hamas-affiliated Islamic Bloc won 28 of the 51 seats of the council; by contrast, the list belonging to Fatah, the ruling Fatah faction headed by Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas, got only 18 seats.

A third list belongs to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), another Palestinian Foreign Terrorist Organization that does not believe in Israel’s right to exist, won five seats.

  1. @Honeybee Yes there’s new research about the Jewish conquistadors.

    https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-jewish-conquistadors

    Jewish Conquistadors in the New World: The Early Years Paperback – February 9, 2020
    by Juan Marcos Bejarano Gutierrez (Author) (free with amazon unlimited or on kindle)

    and some others. I googled Jewish conquistadors

  2. Gremlins again, speak a little French and one can get away with anything Neiman-Marcus was a Buffalo Prairie during the 16th Century. The first Jews in Texas were Conquistadors. Northern Mexico is still a place where the descendants of Sephardic Jews live. In the 19th century, German Jews flocked to Texas.

  5. So they still speak the same way Clarence Mulford wrote. Hmm.

    Ma’am when I mentioned Rustlin’ I dogdiddlyongone ferget to say “reefawmed “. Ah jest unlimbere th’ old .45 now and then snd nicks an ear here and thar.

    I even sent in good cesh money to git one of them paten ironers to straiten out laigs..The range there days ain’t beein’ whut it were.

    I heve a fair idee that yuh could straitne out MY spellin’ a mite ma’am-with mah deepest respecs to yuh.

  6. Calling someone in Texas a rusler can be a potentially fatal mistake. Thanks for correcting my spelling. I spell them the way I speak them. Yes, the Rabbis in Texas are straight-talking. You can find Chabad everywhere. Jews have been in Texas since the 16th century. And, I know, even yawl Yankos have shopped at Neiman-Marcus. Yawl have a Good Shabbot. xx0x0x0x0x

  7. Maybe, but we don’t shove them into the local Zoo lions or tigers at feeding time.

    You should stop that Texas lingo. Us Ackmianners (fun der heim arous) are more used to “rebbe roundabout droshes” and get confused with straight talkin”.

    Your forebears much have been rustlers. …using cinque rings to alter brands and so forth. I don’t do such lawless things; I admit I am a cynic but not of the rustlin’ kind.

    And….sorry…not bow legged. And never rid a hawss, nor chawed….but .spat a LOT, especially after drinking Texas corfee -the kind a horseshoe floats in.

  8. Edgar, Darlin, such a cinque.. We too are like the Athenians. Abortion, state-run Nursing homes, and undocumented workers.

  10. @SEBASTIEN-

    I think we hold up Athens far too much as a developed civilization. They had a habit of placing unwanted children, old maimed in the mountains sides to be consumed by wild animals. Very few citizens, outnumbered by “disposable” slaves about 10-1 They had NO rights. Their main attribute come down to us is to have sculpted poorly shaped naked women with double sized hips and well shaped men. Oh yes, some alleged poetry the origins if which are uncertain, and literature.

    Oh yes ,,The Hippocratic oath, routinely broken by medics as soon as they’ve mumbled it.

    Their most important legacy. -Euclid and Archimedes..

    We must go further. A hierarchy of sorts; a developed social responsibility, legible inter-communications, boundaries, interchange with surrounding populated areas, a cohesiveness and capability to act together under pressure.

    Something like Black Lives matter, is a good example.

  14. @Honeybee Whatsa’ matta? You got somepn’ ‘gainst civiluzation? Badda bing, badda boom.

  21. As long as the Jews in Israel continue to support hotbeds of Arab subversion like the BirZeid University, the Arabs will consider them to be at least suckers and worthy of defeat by any means.
