Look, none of this is new.
Arabs have been running down Jews for fourteen centuries throughout the Middle East like it's Death Race 2000.
Pelting Jews with rocks became something of a national sport that long preceded either the suicide bomber or the airline hijacker, but all of this joyous violence against the non-Muslim minority populations in the Middle East derive from the same place.
It all comes out of centuries of Koranically-based Arab-Muslim disdain for all non-Muslims, particularly Jews who are viewed as the eternal enemy of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be unto him)... if I value my head.
I have to say, it is not very creative - nor, from a PR perspective, does it hold the dark, soulful romanticism of Palestinian-teenage-suicide-bomber-angst which the hard-left was so enamored of during the Second Terror War against the Jews in the early 00s - but this colorful and deadly new violent Arab anti-Jewish thing in Israel is getting good play.
It seems, in fact, to be turning into the next popular Jew Killing Fad.
It will never be Rebel Without a Cause, for chrissake, but they could turn the movie version into something like a Palestinian-Arab American Graffiti. Instead of the banter of American teenagers wheeling around town picking up girls in Los Angeles in 1962, it could be the banter of Arab teenagers wheeling around town smashing into Jewish children along Jerusalem's light rail system in 2014.
So long as the Metropolitan Opera is getting into the act with the Death of Klinghoffer, why should not other artists cash in?
Pallywood would love it.
Palestinian-Arab Jihadis are, after all, connoisseurs of murder and death and they love selling the glamour of it to young western secular blonde college students in keffiyahs willing to give up their lives in the service of Arab hatred toward Jews.
They constantly tell us that they love death like we love pizza (or sabich) and they never cease proving that assertion to be true.
I have full confidence that our friends in places like Daily Kos or the Huffington Post or the Guardian - not to mention the EU, the UN, and the Obama White House - will get the warm-fuzzies when they see these images.
They can know that when they side with Palestinian-Arabs against the Palestinian-Jews that that is what they are siding with; that those are the images that the Palestinian Authority is putting out to their people, including their children, so that those children can grow up murderously hostile to your own children who they will accuse of any and all atrocities before they try to run them down, blow them up, or chop their heads off.

Mahmoud Abbas' Palestinian Authority - the people that Barack Obama assures us are the moderates - are now literally encouraging Arab and Muslim suicide-crash-dummies to run down Jews in the streets of Jerusalem. They killed a Jewish-American baby at one of the light rail stations in Jerusalem just the other day and the murderer was hailed as a heroic martyr, a shaheed in the service of Allah... which, needless to say, bothers the US Department of State not in the least.
Writing in the algemeiner, Dave Bender tells us:
Official Palestinian Authority (PA) social media sites and press are awash with photos and images encouraging drivers to use their cars as terror weapons against Israelis, similar to ramming attacks carried out Wednesday, as well as two weeks ago, in Jerusalem, according to an Israeli media watchdog group.Here is another of those images:
Four people have died – one an infant – and some 30 civilians and soldiers have been wounded in attacks by Palestinian Hamas and Islamic Jihad-affiliated terrorists, who mowed down pedestrians along the tracks and platforms of Jerusalem’s light rail system.
These are our alleged "peace partners" who are quite literally encouraging their people to murder Jews by running them down with their automobiles in order to - ahem - save the al-Aqsa mosque from the desecration that is the mere Jewish presence on the Temple Mount.
And these are the people that we fork over hard-earned US tax dollars to.
Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) tells us:
“Fatah-The Main Page” labeled the cartoon “the run over organization” (a play on words on the Arabic word for “run over” – da’es – and the Arabic acronym for the Islamic State terror organization – Da’esh).In another recent piece by Bender we read:
The cartoon urges people to “Hit the gas at 199 [km/h] for Al-Aqsa.” The crossed-over traffic sign says “Al-Aqsa,” hinting that Jews are not allowed to enter the Temple Mount. [Facebook, "Fatah - The Main Page," Nov. 6, 2014]”
“Another post instructs: ‘Run over, friend, run over the foreign settler!’ [Facebook, "Fatah - The Main Page," Nov. 6, 2014]”
Abbas, in a condolence letter to the family of a Hamas terrorist who shot and severely wounded an Israeli-American last Wednesday, called the return fire by police which killed Muataz Hijazi a “sickening crime,” and “assassination which was perpetrated by the murderous, terrorist gangs of the despicable Israeli occupying army…”I say that the time for negotiations is done.
Surprised it took them this long to pick up on this tactic.
ReplyDeleteHell, here in the US, it's a not-so-well-kept secret that if you want to bump somebody off, do it with a car. Just make sure you're sober, and that you stay at the scene until police arrive. Chances are you won't even get a ticket as long as you meet those two conditions.
"Oops, what a tragic 'accident,' nothing to see here, folks, move along..."
The deeply-embedded journalistic instinct to report such incidents as 'accidents' does provide a certain PR gift to the terrorists, though, Mike.
Some will surely try to portray police shootings in response to these terror attacks as "look, the racist Zionist Occupiers are now executing drivers for getting into 'accidents!'"
I would say that the only real mistake the PA is making here is officially spelling out the game, but then again since Palestinian-Arab incitement is one of those little things the Western media habitually ignores, I suppose they don't have much to worry about on that end, though.
DeleteMy remedy would be to start slowly mining Arab roads with IED's
DeleteAfter seeing this, I probably agree Empress:
Delete"A duo of Palestinian singers are provoking Israelis during this tense time by releasing a song in the social media that encourages hit and run terror attacks. “Run over the two month old baby”, they sing. “For Al-Aqsa we will run over settlers”
Propaganda by music: a duo of Palestinian singers joins the animosity and publishes an anti-Israeli song calling for more hit and run terror attacks against Israelis.
“Run over the two month old baby – that is how we get them”, the song by Anas Garadat and Abu Khayad says. “For Al-Aqsa we will run over settlers. Run over settlers. Make the road become a trap, Allah will help you. The whole Arab nation calls you – bless you Akari Ibrahim (The terrorists behind the attack last Wednesday), run over run over!”

Pithy,
ReplyDeleteI like it.
Ruh roh. Looks like Hamas is feeling its oats again:
ReplyDelete"Hamas claims 2,500 Palestinians have already been recruited to contingent allegedly preparing for future confrontations with Israel. .....Hamas recently formed a "popular army" for young Palestinians to prepare them to "confront any possible Israeli attack," Hamas officials said on Thursday in the Jabaliya refugee camp.
Hamas and Islamic Jihad issued separate statements on Thursday calling on Palestinians to take to the streets following Friday prayers “in solidarity with al-Aksa Mosque.”.....The movement also called on Palestinians to clash with soldiers and settlers in Jerusalem and the West Bank.....Batsh praised the recent terrorist attacks in Jerusalem, "

Shoulda eliminated Hamas when they had the chance.
"if I value my head."
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of, a very good read. On-point commentary from Daniel Pipes at a recent event in Denmark.
"My final point is about what's happened since 1989. In retrospect, responses to the Rushdie edict among intellectuals and politicians in 1989 were noteworthy for the support they gave the imperiled novelist, especially on the Left. Leftist intellectuals were more likely to stand by Rushdie than intellectuals on the right, in part, because Rushdie was a self defined man of the Left.
Nor was it just intellectuals. François Mitterrand, the socialist president of France at the time, called the threat to Rushdie an "absolute evil." The Green Party in Germany sought to break all economic agreements with Iran. A European Union resolution supported Rushdie as "a signal to assure the preservation of civilization and human values." The U.S. Senate unanimously passed a resolution that declared its commitment "to protect the right of any person to write, publish, sell, buy, and read books without fear of intimidation and violence."
Times have changed. A recent book by an American intellectual named, Paul Berman, called, The Flight of The Intellectuals, excoriates his fellow liberals for "fumbling badly in their effort to grapple with Islamist ideas and violence". In short, the Left has it wrong about Islamism."
Times have changed, indeed...
Paul Berman is brilliant and the Flight of the Intellectuals is a terrific book.
DeleteIf you want to understand the rise of political Islam and our response to it, Berman is one of the go-to guys.
