PA Hosts Meetings with Israelis, then Collaborates with Incitement Against Them
(Jerusalem Post) Editorial - There has always been an extremist side to anti-Israel campaigns among Palestinians and their supporters going back to the 1920s. This side is less interested in Palestinians than in opposing Israel. From the time of the Mufti Haj Amin al-Husseini, these groups spent as much time attacking their fellow Palestinians as they have "Zionists." This is because their real war is with coexistence and with the members of their own community who seek peace. They want to tear down both Israel and the Palestinians. It is the same motivation behind boycotts of companies that employ Palestinians. They prefer the vulnerable and poor to be unemployed than for them to work for Israel. The Palestinian Authority hosts meetings with Israelis and then quietly collaborates with the incitement against them. The Palestinians who are open to meeting Israelis understand that if you want to make peace, it must be done in the framework of a meeting, not by violence. Violence has achieved nothing for the Palestinians over the last decade.
