(Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs) The Palestinians have a habit of constantly threatening Israel, but it seems that Israel isn't the only one being threatened. For example, on the official Facebook page of the Palestinian Authority, a blog post appeared criticizing Egypt because it prevented a solidarity mission from Europe that landed at Cairo Airport from continuing on to Gaza. Moreover, a senior Fatah official, Tawfik Tirawi, appeared to threaten Arab states if they failed to fund the Palestinian budget. On Dec. 20, 2013, he told Radio Palestine: "The Arabs don't give money because they are not afraid of us. Arafat threatened Kuwait: 'Whoever doesn't help the Palestinian people, we will reach him in his bed.' We ended their prolonged fear of us."
