The people of Gaza really believe that the Holocaust never occurred. They really believe that firing rockets at school children is God’s command. They really believe that Jews are a combination of the devil, monkeys, pigs and vermin. They really believe that Israel doesn’t want peace and seeks to destroy the Islamic world and its holy places. It is difficult to build an enduring peace on such a structure of lies. That is why the Oslo Accords insisted that the Palestinians stop teaching their children to hate, stop teaching their teachers to lie and stop inciting violence against the Jews. In this respect, the Palestinian leadership, both in Gaza and the West Bank, has been an utter failure. Not much can be expected from the Hamas leadership, but even the Palestinian Authority has failed miserably in this regard.

Israel, on the other hand, has a free and open press in which the Palestinian narrative is presented honestly and fully – indeed sometimes more favorably to the Palestinians than is warranted by the facts. It should come as no surprise therefore that far more Israelis than Palestinians favor a compromise peace. The two-state solution cannot be built on lies.

Not all the money in the world could compensate for the loss of Jewish lives due to the brutal terror of the Palestinian Authority complicit in the genocidal ethnic cleansing of indigenous Jews from their homeland. Via JPost:

Jerusalem District Court Judge Aharon Farkash ruled on Monday that it was possible to implement a 2004 US court ruling, according to which the Palestinian Authority must pay compensations of more than $116 million to terror victims’ families.

In July 2004, a US court ruled that the Palestinian Authority was to pay some $116 million to the relatives of Yaron and Efrat Unger who were killed in a 1996 terror attack. But when the family asked authorities to enforce the court ruling in Israel, the Palestinian Authority objected, saying that paying the high compensations would lead to its financial collapse.

The financial collapse of the Palestinian Authority would be the solution to solving the Middle East debacle that has been singularly shaped by the Arab world’s hostility towards anything that is not Islamic or that does not promot Mohammedism.
