PA Hate Speech and Mideast Peace
(Washington Times) Editorial - When President Bush meets Mahmoud Abbas on Thursday, Mr. Bush will need to emphasize to the Palestinian leader that his continued failure to act decisively against anti-Semitic incitement could have catastrophic consequences. Mr. Abbas needs to put an end to the obscenity which continues to be broadcast on PA Television, such as a May 13 sermon calling for "the extermination of every single Jew." For the past 60 years, in Germany, advocates of Nazism have been subject to legal sanction, including arrest and imprisonment. In the PA, by contrast, people who advocate the modern-day equivalent of the Final Solution get a check from their elected government and are given the opportunity to appear on Palestinian public television. This kind of hatred is the antithesis of what President Bush is attempting to achieve. The incendiary propaganda being broadcast by the PA media is creating a new generation of suicide bombers and jihadists.
