Rabbi Uri Pilichowski points out that for there to be any chance of peace in the Middle East, “the first thing that must change is the hateful nature of the Palestinian nationalist movement.”
Unfortunately, there’s no sign of that happening. In recent weeks, the senior religious affairs adviser to PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas declared that “the armed option” (i.e., murdering Jews) is “legal”; PA television broadcast a sermon by the PA’s Shariah court director calling on Allah to “kill the aggressive Zionists one by one … and do not leave [even] one [alive]”; and the PA blamed the Amsterdam pogrom on “barbaric acts” by Israeli soccer fans. (Translations courtesy of Palestinian Media Watch.)
Such vicious incitement by the PA violates the Oslo Accords, undermines the chances for achieving peace in the Middle East, and ensures that yet another generation of young Palestinian Arabs will aspire to commit additional October 7s.

The chance of coming to an understanding with Hamas, Hezbollah and their fellow radical, Jew-hating Muslim fascists are about the same as coming to an agreement with Adolph Hitler: slime to none. The left calls Trump Hitler and then attacks him endlessly while they quietly ignore his spiritual heirs. This isn’t strange or even bizarre but rather lunacy. Normalizing fascism and Hitler by using the atrocities they performed to attack your opponents will normalize them and their atrocities.
