- We contaminate
our mosques with our own hands and feet, and then blame Jews for
desecrating Islamic holy sites. If anyone is desecrating Islamic
holy sites, it is those who bring explosives, stones and firebombs
into Al-Aqsa Mosque. The Jews who visit the Temple Mount do not
bring with them stones, bombs or clubs. It is young Muslim men who
are desecrating our holy sites with their "filthy feet."
- These leaders,
including Abbas himself, are not willing to send their own children
and grandchildren to participate in the "popular
struggle." They are fully responsible for sending the children
of others to throw stones and firebombs at Jews. Sitting in their luxurious
offices and villas in Ramallah, they demand that Israel be held
responsible for cracking down on "innocent" Palestinians.
Their main goal is to embarrass Israel and depict it as a state that
takes tough measures against Palestinian teenagers.
- These youths are
not taking to the streets to fight "occupation." Their
main goal is to kill or cause grievous bodily harm to Jews. When
someone tosses a firebomb at a house or a car, his intention is to
burn civilians alive.
- It is as if our
leaders are saying that throwing stones and firebombs at Jews in
their cars and homes is a basic right of Palestinians. Our leaders
believe Israel has no right to defend itself against those who seek
to burn Jews driving in their vehicles or sleeping inside their
homes.

While Hamas and Islamic Jihad are continuing to exploit our
teenagers in the Gaza Strip by training them to join the jihad against
Jews and "infidels," our leaders in the West Bank are
committing a similar crime against Palestinian youths.
The Palestinian Authority (PA) leadership, headed by Mahmoud Abbas,
who falsely describes himself as President of the State of Palestine, has
been encouraging our teenagers to engage in the so-called "popular
resistance" against Israel. But these leaders, including Abbas
himself, are not willing to send their own children and grandchildren to
participate in the "popular struggle." As usual, our leaders
want the children of others to take to the streets and throw stones and
firebombs at Jews.

- Turkey's
"Muslim Brothers" are behaving just like Muslim Brothers
elsewhere. They came to power through democratic elections. They are
making every sign that they have no intention of surrendering power
through democratic elections.

Last year, after a pro-government columnist tweeted news about this
author, referring to him as "A Disgrace to Humanity," several
others joined the lynching on social media. "A sperm of
Israel," someone wrote. Another said: "Enmity to Islam spills
from his face." Someone else wished that I would travel to Gaza so
that "the al-Qassam [Brigade] could shoot him right in the middle of
his forehead." Another campaigner invited "this ignoble,
inglorious Zionist leftover to leave for Israel." Someone else
wished, "May he and his family be bombed." And yet another
offered a DNA analysis from a photograph: "He must be either
Armenian or Jewish."
All that was the new normal in Turkey's increasingly militant,
pro-Islamist media. Things are getting worse.
