Stop Subsidizing the Palestinians

The Palestinians’ corrupt Fatah faction that has long despotically misruled the West Bank has just announced that it will form a “unity government” with the jihadists of the Hamas terrorist group that has been despotically misruling the Gaza Strip. Predictably, if such a government actually materializes, the repressive Islamic doctrine known as shariah will take hold. Jihad against Israel and the West will be obligatory and intensified Palestinian isolation will surely ensue.For the region, it will mean more instability. Iran will expand its access to and use of Palestinian territory to threaten the Jewish State. Jordan and Egypt may be drawn into new conflicts. One thing is for sure: If unity really happens, with these predictable effects, it must mark the end of ill-advised subsidies of the Palestinians by U.S. taxpayers.

Palestinian Unity

“Reconciliation” is ostensibly the order of the day in the non-state the United Nations now calls Palestine. The leaders of the Fatah and Hamas factions will be meeting in Cairo shortly to try to forge a unity government.
One obvious basis for unifying is the fact that the two long-time enemies share a common determination to destroy the Jewish State. Fatah’s Mahmud Abbas would do so after negotiating a phony peace accord with Israel. Khaled Mashaal of Hamas insists on skipping that step – a stance that clearly enjoys growing support among Palestinians.
Either way, Israel can’t be expected to negotiate a real and enduring peace with the Palestinians. It is unreasonable to ask Israelis literally to bet their lives and country on that proposition – and reckless to insist that they do so.

Palestinian Statehood

The world’s hostility towards Israel will be made clear today as the United Nations formally endorses “Palestine” as a non-member “state.” The Obama administration professes opposition to this step but since the decision is being taken by a majority vote of the UN General Assembly in which the United States has no veto, the outcome is a foregone conclusion.
Now, this so-called state of Palestine has no internationally recognized borders. Worse, the Palestinians currently have two governments – and the one that runs the Gaza Strip is a designated terrorist group, Hamas.
The United Nations increasingly does the bidding of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation – Muslim nations using the UN to advance their anti-Israel and anti-freedom agenda. It’s time to stop dignifying these multinational organizations, and tolerating their use against Israel and us.

UNESCO Says Yes To Palestine

I never thought I would live to see the day when the Palestinians were actually doing something helpful to the United States, Israel and other freedom-loving people. Today may just be that day.
Not that that is the Palestinians’ intention, mind you, when they seek to become full-fledged members of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization – better known as UNESCO. But it might just be the effect.
That’s because under U.S. law, admitting the Palestinians to UNESCO would trigger a cut-off of the 80 million dollars per year we give that notoriously corrupt and hostile organization. It would also be a booster-rocket behind new legislation recently approved by the House Foreign Affairs Committee that would make all such UN contributions voluntary, instead of obligatory.
Go ahead, Palestinians, make my day.
