Mosques Instruct Palestinians to Reject Peace Deals
(Jerusalem Post) Donna Rachel Edmunds - Palestinians in the West Bank were told in mosque sermons on Friday that the peace deals signed between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain amount to high treason against the Palestinian cause, and are condemned by Allah himself. An instruction sheet disseminated by the Palestinian Authority's Ministry of Religion warns that the peace deals pose a danger to those who signed them. It says: "There is nothing that harms Palestine and its holy sites more than making an alliance with the Jews." "What is so important to understand...is that the Palestinian Authority is rejecting the peace agreement not because it is with Israel but because it is with the Jews," said Director of Palestinian Media Watch Itamar Marcus. "Although many world leaders delude themselves that the Palestinian-Israel conflict is over territory, the PA is constantly telling its people that the conflict is against Jews because of Jews' evil nature."
