PA Incitement Against Israel Getting Worse

(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - Incitement and inflammatory language against Israel in the Palestinian Authority is at the worst level since Jerusalem began systematically measuring it in 2009 in an "incitement index," Strategic Affairs Ministry director-general Yossi Kuperwasser told the cabinet Sunday. In his speech to the UN General Assembly on Thursday, PA President Mahmoud Abbas painted Israel in demonic colors. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu termed that speech as "dripping with poison." Commenting after Kuperwasser presented his quarterly findings, Netanyahu said, "This is additional proof that we are not talking about a disagreement over territory, rather about the rejection of Israel's existence." He said the failure of the Palestinians to accept Israel's existence within any border is the "root of the conflict." "As long as the Palestinian Authority educates the younger generation to hatred, how is it possible to even speak about peace?" Netanyahu said, adding that the Palestinians want to "use the diplomatic process to bring about the end of the State of Israel....Going to the UN [on Thursday] is part of this."
