UPDATES 11 am Israel time, Saturday, November 30 2013:

Unbelievably, the municipality of Tel Aviv is hosting the “48 mm–International Film Festival on Nakba and Return” at the Cinematheque in Tel Aviv and al-Saraya Theater in Yaffa this weekend.

Sponsored by the virulently anti-Zionist organization Zochrot, the film “festival” is showing short films by Palestinians, Israelis, and other “filmmakers” around the world that call into question the rebirth of Israel in 1947-8. In the words of Zochrot,  “the festival seeks to creatively challenge the partition concept” and is dedicated to “films about the Palestinian Nakba and Return of Refugees.”

Your humble servant is going to be sick. It is bad enough that Israel is under attack in venues around the world without having festivals such like this in downtown Tel Aviv.

George Orwell, Down and Out in Paris and London

When will the Palestinians ever take responsibility for themselves? Forever mooching, the PLO and Hamas go from country to country groveling for money. In particular, with 170,000 so-called “civil servants” (a category which includes terrorists in Israeli prisons, and terrorists released from Israeli prisons), the poor budget-less PLO just can’t seem to make ends meet.

And never mind that the European Union issued a report last month that 1.95 billion Euros supplied to the PLO over the last few years has been “lost” (in secret PLO Swiss bank accounts no doubt), the world keeps lining up to keep the Palestinians afloat.

This week has seen Rami Hamdallah, the unelected PLO prime minister (the same one who was hired and fired and rehired by Mahmoud Abbas) making the rounds of the Arab states with hat in hand. At the same time, Hamas has been pleading for money from Turkey.

And lo and behold, Qatar has come through again for the PLO–this time to the tune of $150 million dollars. And Turkey has ponied up $850,000 dollars to keep the Gaza power plant working for four months.

What nobody seems to get–not the Europeans, not the Americans, not the United Nations, not the Arab countries and Turkey, and not Israel–is that all of their contributions have created a massive state of beggary among the Palestinians.

More than this, it is a beggary that has robbed the Palestinians of any semblance of self-dignity. One would think leaders like Rami Hamdallah and Mahmoud Abbas would be mortified to go time after time in search of money.

But they are not.

One would think that the Palestinians themselves would be humiliated to have their leaders pleading for money anywhere and everywhere.

But they are not.

Palestinian society and culture is rotten to core and becomes more so with each new infusion of money.
