PA lays into American benefactors

Washington labeled a den of Nazis by Abbas regime mouthpiece

The Palestinian Authority this week showed its appreciation for more than a decade of American financial and diplomatic backing of the "Palestinian cause" by comparing the leaders of the United States to some of history's most vile specimens of humanity.

Hafez Barghouti, editor of the PA-controlled Al-Hayat Al-Jadida daily newspaper, a mouthpiece of the Abbas regime, wrote on March 4:

"There is a new ideological Nazism which has started to dominate the West. It doesn't speak openly about its totalitarian Nazism, but carries it out in practice. I see in many minor and senior Western officials copies of Hitler... the neo-conservative idea is derived from the remnants of the Nazi idea. It is an Aryan supremacy doctrine with new terminology."

On Wednesday, Barghouti got more specific, pointing his accusatory finger directly at Washington:

"The extremism in Arab societies is an outcome of American policy... Washington has its own agenda, distinct domineering and imperialistic aspirations. The service of democracy is not among them..."

Such anti-Americanism is nothing new in the "Palestinian" media, and it is taking its toll on the hearts and minds the Bush Administration so desperately hopes to win, indicated analyst Itamar Marcus in remarks published by Israel National News.

Marcus, director of Palestinian Media Watch, pointed to the results of a recent European poll published in Al-Hayat Al-Jadida on December 23, 2005 that showed 65 percent of Palestinian Arabs "support Al Qaeda actions in the USA."

In a related story, Jordan last week threatened to cut back ties with the Jewish state after a senior IDF general dared to point out the obvious by warning the Hashemite Kingdom that Islamist elements are out to overthrow it and could succeed in their quest in the near future.

On Monday, Jerusalem promptly dispatched the director of its Foreign Ministry to its eastern neighbor to beg forgiveness.

Those waiting for a similar conciliatory visit by "Palestinian" officials to Washington had better not hold their breath.
