THE WHITE HOUSE

Meeting with Abbas

President Obama:

“And I also mentioned to President Abbas in a frank exchange that it was very important to continue to make progress in reducing the incitement and anti-Israel sentiments that are sometimes expressed in schools and mosques and in the public square, because all those things are impediments to peace.”

Mr. President:

It is not sufficient to “mention” – it is necessary to demand

It is not “reducing” incitement – it is eliminating it

It is not “sometimes” incitement – it is 24/7 and intensifying

Palestinian Arab Incitement is the new uncontrollable, affordable and elusive weapon of mass destruction. Its brand of terrorism constitutes a major strategic threat to the foundation of the free world.

And as you are preparing to address the Islamic world, here is something worth remembering: A 2002 Washington Post editorial headlined “Death Wish,” following a conference in which 57 Islamic nations rejected the idea that Palestinian ‘resistance’ to Israel had anything to do with terrorism, said:

“In effect, the Islamic conference sanctioned not only terrorism but also suicide as a legitimate political instrument. ... It is hard to imagine any other grouping in the world’s nations that could reach such a self-destructive and morally repugnant conclusion.”

The editorial castigated Muslim states and suggested their behavior was liable to be the seeds to their own destruction. It concluded:

“The Palestinian national cause will never recover – nor should it – until its leadership is willing to break definitely with the bombers.”
