Official PA Newspaper Pushes Antisemitic Content
(Walla-Jerusalem Post) 20% of the articles mentioning Jews or in opinion columns that appeared in the official Palestinian Authority (PA) newspaper, Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, between January 2022 and August 2025 contain antisemitic content, a new Jewish People Policy Institute (JPPI) study revealed on Monday. This included the denial of the very existence of the "Jewish people," claims of Jewish control over the global economy and American elites, and comparisons between Israel and Nazism, the Crusaders, and various colonial entities. Zionism was almost always presented as a colonial movement and the source of Palestinian suffering. No significant change was found in the rate of antisemitism before and after Oct. 7, 2023. The primary criticism in Al-Hayat Al-Jadida articles of Hamas and the Oct. 7 events was not about the murders themselves, but about the fact that the attack "provided Israel with an excuse" to expand its military operations and the resulting severe consequences for Palestinians.
