The News On The Israeli Street
Wrap your mind around this nauseating juxtaposition:
On the one hand, we had PLO Chairman Mahmoud Abbas declaring for the hundredth time yesterday that the PLO will not take any tax revenues from Israel “no matter how much the Palestinians may suffer.”
He said that if the PLO denied salaries to imprisoned Palestinians or “martyred” Palestinians’ families in order to take the tax money, the PLO would be giving up on its “holiest issue.”
Think about that for a moment.
The holiest issue of the PLO is supplying money to terrorist murderers imprisoned in Israel and giving out monthly paychecks to the families of terrorists who were killed while murdering or attempting to murder Israeli men, women, and children.
Where is the world’s outrage? How can Abbas make such statements and the leaders of the world say nothing?
Simply because no one cares about murdered Israelis.
But let’s continue with the juxtaposition.
On the other hand, our crazy Netanyahu cabinet is trying to figure out this morning a way to funnel the tax revenues to the PLO anyway.
Yes, you read that correctly.
Our absurd government has so bought into the PLO canard of an impending Palestinian economic collapse that we are willing to reduce tax monies that we take from the Palestinians in the same amount as the tax revenues that the PLO refuses to take.
In other words, Israel will circumvent its own law and facilitate the continued payments to terrorist murderers.
It is just plain nauseating.
Speaking of no outrage:
This is the Palestinian graffiti found at the “Little Kotel” this morning:
Obscene Palestinian graffiti at one of Judaism’s holiest places this morning.
In case you are unfamiliar with the “Little Kotel“, it is the point on the Western Wall–inside the tunnel that runs north from the main plaza–that is considered to be the place not on the Temple Mount itself that is the closest to where the Holy of Holies was in the First and Second Temple on the Temple Mount.
Can you imagine what would have happened if obscene graffiti would have been put on the Al-Aksa Mosque or on the Kipat HaSela (Dome of the Rock)? The Muslim world would be demanding jihads to Jerusalem. The Western world would be calling Israeli ambassadors in to explain how such a desecration could occur.
So what has been the response to the graffiti this morning?

TODAY’S BLOG:
The ABOMINABLE Amnesty International
Regular readers of israelstreet know that your humble servant often uses the word “abominable” to describe the various self-described “human rights” organizations that operate here in Israel.
I could just as easily use other words that are often listed as synonyms (but each with a slightly different meaning) to describe these groups, words and phrases like: loathsome, detestable, odious, despicable, comtemptible, damnable, and morally repulsive.
Yesterday’s action by Amnesty International brought to mind all of these words and a few others. Here’s what they tweeted (and posted on Facebook):
Yesterday
First of all, just imagine the posing of this obviously fake photograph. You take a young Palestinian kid–a Pallywood actor in the making–out to some barren place where there is an earth mover and a truck.
It doesn’t make any difference whether the equipment belongs to or is being operated by Palestinians or Israelis because you are going to “tell” the world that is Israeli, and it doesn’t matter what the equipment is doing–making a road, picking up dirt, covering garbage, or clearing land–because you are going to “tell” the world that the equipment is being used to build an “Israeli settlement”.
Then you sit the kid down in a chair in front of the earth mover (echoes of the Rachel Corrie fraud?) and put a PLO flag on the chair.
The message is clear: the big bad Israeli earth mover is putting the poor, terrified, Palestinian kid’s life in danger.
Then you couple your staged photograph with the message: “War crimes are not a tourist attraction.” And you repeat it three times for emphasis.
Never mind that making a road, picking up dirt, covering garbage, or clearing land for a Jewish home in Judea and Samaria can in no way be called a “war crime”. After all, no civilians or prisoners are being killed and no civilians or prisoners are being tortured or raped. But that doesn’t matter because the PLO has decided to call building a Jewish home in Area C of Judea and Samaria or even in Jerusalem “a war crime.”
And Amnesty International is first in line to further this absurd farce.
Still, we haven’t reached the point of the message. All of the fake photo posing and all of the fake captioning of the photo is to encourage other “human rights” activists to contact Trip Advisor and tell it not to list Israeli properties or activities in Area C of Judea and Samaria.
After all, what rights do Jews have in Judea and Samaria?
According to Amnesty International, none.
Amnesty International is simply ABOMINABLE.
One final note. If you do not do anything else today, please contact Trip Advisor and thank them for taking a principled stand with their listings in Judea and Samaria!
You can call them at this customer service number in the U.S.: 781-800-5000 or send them a letter at: Trip Advisor, 400 1st Avenue, Needham MA 02494.
A student from Malawi, who had worked with an Israeli health volunteer in his country battling AIDS, came up to us as we walked down the street in the UC-Davis Picnic Day Parade and wanted to carry the Israeli flag.
