(Jerusalem Post) Aliza Pilichowski - The West opposes violence to achieve political aims. The international community always drew a clear line between advocating for a Palestinian state and supporting Palestinian terrorism. But Palestinians never rejected terrorism, and therefore, they never achieved a state. The Palestinian Authority, a governing body created with world support when it pledged to oppose and actively stop terrorism from its people, has instead actively supported and incentivized Palestinian terrorism with its "pay to slay" program of stipends for Palestinian terrorists. It has yet to condemn the Oct. 7 terror attacks, and many of its leading officials publicly praised them. While most Palestinian supporters in the West won't directly say they support Palestinian terrorism, they use words that effectively mean the same thing to Palestinian ears. In demonstrations around the world, Hizbullah and Hamas flags are proudly raised, and chants for the death of Jews and supporting resistance by any means are regularly heard on the streets of Western cities.
