Tackle Incitement, Stop the Killing of Israelis
(Times of Israel) David Horovitz - Palestinians are again killing Israelis - an off-duty soldier last Friday, an on-duty soldier on Sunday. We won't have compromise and viable coexistence with the Palestinians without tackling incitement. Most Israelis have long since come to terms with the fact that there are Palestinians as well as Jews in this land, and that we are all going to have to find a way to somehow live alongside one another. On the Palestinian side, there is no such recognition. Arafat bequeathed his people a pernicious narrative that claimed there was no Jewish temple in Jerusalem and, therefore, no historic Jewish sovereign legitimacy in these parts. His successor, Mahmoud Abbas, has shown little appetite to challenge the Arafat legacy. Incitement against Israel's very existence remains widespread - in Palestinian schools and summer camps, newspaper articles and caricatures, TV shows and advertisements, where Israel has no place, where Israeli cities have Arabic names, where the Jews have no Middle East history.
