Of Course He Did

 Fox News: Abbas delays Palestinian elections again, making more than two decades without vote 

Abbas issued a decree Friday pushing Palestinian Legislative Council elections from next month to Sept. 11, 2027, according to the official Palestinian news agency WAFA. Presidential elections, which have not been held since Abbas' 2005 victory, are also scheduled for that date.

Mahmoud Abbas is now in the twenty-second year of his four-year term as President of the Palestinian Authority.

Yep, read that again, I'll wait. 

Looks like he's now going for twenty-three years plus.

There have been no PA elections since 2005.

We can also note that there has not been an election in Gaza since 2006 when Hamas won and there has been no desire for an election, much less a free and fair one, there either.

Very much the standard practice of Muslim "Democracy":  Democracy is like a train - when you get where you want, you get off.

We will note this is in direct contravention of the assurance he gave to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and to French President Macron that he would hold an election in 2026 return for France and Canada recognizing the rather non-existent Palestinian state. Credulous fools and useful idiots, they.

Terrorist Supporters Adopt A Road

Right along the way where, just a few months ago, a Hezbollah affiliated terrorist did a vehicle ramming attack at Temple Israel, a group that was until now unknown has apparently "adopted a road" and got the Road Commission to put up these signs:

 

Purely an attempt to intimidate, with the sign being placed right in the central area of the Jewish community here, right by a synagogue that had recently been attacked by an Arab terrorist.

There is no filed assumed name for the group in Oakland County, nor is there a state-level entity actually formed on record for this group. It does not legally exist as an organization.

We will have to see if the "group" whoever they are,  ever show up to do the required twice per year cleanups as required for this propaganda stunt.  My bet is they're not showing up as simply getting the signs up was the point.

So, in addition to the myriad of potholes, it seems we may now need to worry about IEDs on this stretch of road.

Update:  The signs were taken down as of this morning (Monday June 15) and the Oakland County Road Commission is promising to review its "process" as to how the signs were ever approved to be issued and placed in the first place to a non-existent group. 

Hamtramck Goes Full Hamas

 The Detroit Free Press: 'Palestine Ave' street sign unveiled in Hamtramck to cheers

Expect that the residents of Hamtramck will now blame Israel for the potholes on the newly named Palestine Ave.

Very Situational Protesting

A picture is worth 1,000 words they say, and this one speaks volumes:

Funny, isn't it, that the Left and the Arabs don't seem to care one bit when Muslims and Arabs are killed by their fellow Muslims and Arabs.  

Nor, may I add did they protest in the slightest when Hamas broke the ceasefire and killed 1,400 Israelis. In  fact social media was awash with Muslims saying Happy October and the Left generally defended it, said nothing, or issued mealy-mouthed platitudes, or called for Israel to restrain itself.

But have a conflict where Jews respond to an Arabs/Muslim attack and then they suddenly can't wait to protest, attack the White House and monuments etc.

There's no wonder why that is, now is there?

Arab Medical Staff In Royal Oak Beaumont Protest And Lie For Gaza

Well the Arab medical staff of Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak came out to call for a ceasefire in Gaza and the destruction of Israel at the same time.

We will note they couldn't be bothered to condemn the Hamas terrorist attack that kicked it off, nor any mention of that in the protest, nor on their Facebook Page, or their organization website.

Funny, that.

Note that a lot of them were still wearing their Beaumont uniforms in the video.

Sure, they've got the right to protest and show the scum that they are, but I would have hoped their employer would not approve of such conduct on company time, company grounds, and in company uniforms. 

Certainly makes me think twice about going to Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak for any medical treatment.

 In the linked instagram video they were, after their bromide "the people united will never be defeated" - in which case why demand a ceasefire if you will never be defeated?   They then started going "long live the intifada" - that chant is not exactly calling for a ceasefire. In fact it's the opposite.

Supporting the intifada, which is a call for terrorist attacks against Israel, would to most rational people imply you really don't get to ask for a ceasefire at the same time that you're calling for armed violence, neh?  

Is that a Hippocratic or is that a hypocritic oath in their case?

They're also waiving signs that are lying about "genocide" in Gaza.

Given the Arab population of Gaza has increased from in 2012 1,644,293 million to 2,106,745 today and its expected to double to over 4 million by 2050, this has to be the most inept "genocide" ever.

In short they lie, a lot, no surprise there.

The Typical Response Of Animals

So in response to the false blaming of Israel for Palestinian Islamic Jihad's dropping a rocket on their open hospital (or potentially only the hospital parking lot with far fewer than the claimed 500 casualties - the lie may be even bigger) the Arab world decided to flip out nicely.

Continuing their tradition of Jew-hatred, not to mention lack of respect for anyone's holy places, Arabs and Muslims as expected decided it was time for the time-honored tradition of attacking and destroying synagogues.

Now, one of, if not the oldest, synagogue in Africa was destroyed today based on Hamas' lie:  Historic synagogue in Tunisia heavily damaged in rioting tied to Israel-Hamas war

A historic but defunct synagogue in Tunisia was reduced to rubble on Tuesday amid mass rioting after an explosion in a Gaza hospital that terror group Hamas and much of the Arab world blamed on Israel.

Hundreds of people were filmed setting fire to a synagogue in the central Tunisian city of Al Hammah in the hours after the explosion, at a Gaza City hospital where Hamas said many people died. Videos that circulated widely on social media showed people planting Palestinian flags and chipping away at the synagogue building’s stone walls, all without any police intervention.

Some users shared the video of the arson alongside a “#Palestine” hashtag. A video taken Wednesday shows heavy damage to the site, including to the fenced-off grave of a 16th-century rabbi that been a historic pilgrimage site for some Jews.

Germany, having its own  historical track record of burning synagogues, quickly followed suit - but luckily not with such a devastating result - with a Molotov cocktail thrown at a synagogue today as well. The thrower was arrested shouting anti-Israel slogans, and thankfully his aim was a bit off.

So no, it's certainly not anti-Israel when you torch a synagogue, that's straight out antisemitism, which is no surprise, as much of anti-Israel sentiment is thinly veiled or indeed outright antisemitism itself.

Should A School Be Surprised When they Invite A Pro-Terrorist They Get A Pro-Terrorist Presentation?

Totally unexpectedly, a Democrat, who heads an organization having terrorist ties, gives four biased anti-Israel and Anti-Jewsih presentations to a captive audience of high school students in a presentation on "Diversity".

 Fox News: Michigan high school apologizes for anti-Israel activist at 'diversity assembly,' doesn't mention Jews, Israel

 The "student-led" diversity assembly apparently invited Huwaida Arraf, who then gave an impressively anti-Israel diatribe.

Now, anyone who googled the name Huwaida Arraf would in seconds know she's a pro-terrorist Palestinian and co-founder of the ISM and that she has admitted to working with terrorist groups. 

Did the school fail to vet the guest speaker list at all?

Interestingly enough, this incident got no coverage at all in both the Detroit News and Detroit Free Press. Funny, that.

The school administrations claims simply that she went off script and they were thus surprised, but this rings a little hollow considering she did this lovely little "presentation" apparently 4 times in a row without being stopped. 

The school administration's "apology" such as it is, does not even mention her anti-Israel and anti-Jewish diatribe at all, just that she "deviated from the prompts" at a Bloomfield Hills High School "diversity assembly".

Also inviting a person with known terrorist associations into a public high school probably isn't the safest thing from a security standpoint. 

But, what a way to celebrate diversity, right?

Never Missing An Opportunity To Miss An Opportunity: Covid-19 Edition

Bloomberg Quint: Palestinian Authority Rejects Aid From UAE Flown to Israel

Yes, the Palis have rejected the benefits of an historic flight from the United Arab Emirates that flew to Israel to deliver Coronavirus PPE supplies to the Palestinian Authority on the grounds that it would cause the start of normalization of relations between the UAE and Israel.

Note that the entity that is rejecting the aid because it arrived via Israeli is the Palestinian Authority - the supposedly "moderate" faction as compared to Hamas, yet still rejectionist enough to deny accepting aid from an Arab nation because it was processed through Israeli airspace and an Israeli airport.

An Offer They Will And Have Refused

To no one's surprise, the Palestinian Authority and other organizations have rejected Trump's peace plan with a thousand nos. The Detroit News: Trump's Mideast plan dismissed by Palestinian advocates in Detroit area

Also to no one's surprise, Rashida Tlaib condemned it right after recently re-tweeting a blood libel about Jews.

More interestingly, Debbie Dingell, inheriting her seat from her husband, also condemned it, which while not completely surprising considering the very large Arab population in her district, it was still interesting to see as her objections showed she was just repeating Pali talking points.

Being a deal that required the Palis to actually uphold their obligations and make concessions, just as the Israelis made some major concessions, it wouldn't work.

Because the peace plan reflected reality and didn't allow the Arabs to realize their rejectionist fantasy to drive the Jews into the sea, it was a non-starter and they rejected out of hand.

In short, Trump just again highlighted that it's not Israel that's the obstacle to peace in the region, but the Palis intransigence and refusal to negotiate in good faith for peace rather than continuing rejecting Israel's existence.

Trump Kicks Off An Actual Peace Process By Recognizing Jerusalem As Israel's Capital

Trump does come through on his promises, and recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital is an important step for eventual peace in the region. It's long past due that the US and the world recognized the obvious, that Jerusaelm is ISrael's capital and has been for years and it's not going to change.

Of course, Arabs are upset with the idea.

The Detroit News: Hundreds rally against Trump’s Jerusalem declaration

Hundreds of Metro Detroit Palestinians gathered in Hart Plaza Friday to rally against President Donald Trump’s declaration of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. ....

Trump said his recognition acknowledged the “obvious” that Jerusalem is the seat of Israel’s government despite its disputed status that’s one of the key elements in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The announcement on Wednesday also directed the State Department to begin the process of moving the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem as required by U.S. law.

“What’s the benefit (for the U.S.) coming in between the fight ... endangering the possibility of a peace settlement between Israel and Palestinians,” said Khalid Turaani, president of the American Muslim Leadership Council. “It’s stupid, but we’re not surprised.” . . .

During the two-hour demonstration, Detroit police said they helped escort the peaceful protestors, who chanted “from the river, to the sea, Palestine will be free,” as they marched from Hart Plaza to Campus Martius.

Note the chant "From the river to the sea - They mean the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea, and looking at a map that's all of Israel, not the disputed "Palestinian" territories. Again its part of the Palestinian and Arab fantasy that they can make Israel go away and they'll destroy it eventually so they don't need to actually engage in a real peace negotiation.

Recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital is another important step in the peace process - it makes the Arabs deal with the reality that Israel isn't going away and Israel is not going to give up Jerusalem. There will still be an Israel "from the river to the sea" regardless of their rejectionist approach. The sooner they give up the fantasy of destroying Israel and massacring the Jews and move forward with acceptance of reality, the more likely peace talks will actually succeed. Trump just kick-started the peace process by this declaration that it won't be the standard game as usual and hit them with a cluebat of reality.

The sooner the Arabs start to negotiate in good faith and from reality rather than fantasy, the closer the prospect of an actual and lasting peace.

Weird News of The Day: Arab Murderer Sues To Be Deported TO Israel

In a strange case indeed, convicted Arab serial killer and stabber Elias Abuelazam is suing the Federal Government to be deported to Israel.

He's claiming he should be deported to Israel because he committed an attempted murder there first before he committed his series of crimes including five murders by knife in 14 attacks in Michigan. He's now serving a life sentence in a facility in Adrian, Michigan and there's the potential for him to be tried for other murders that he has committed in this state and Ohio.

Apparently, the Israelis have nicer jails than Michigan.

Palis Starting The New Year Off With A Blast!

The WSJ: Palestine Envoy Killed in Prague Blast: Authorities Deem Explosion of Safe-Deposit Box an Accident

The Palestinian ambassador to the Czech Republic died after sustaining injuries from an explosion at his residence Wednesday that local authorities describe as an accident, not an attack.

"We aren't aware of any evidence indicating that the blast was caused by an explosive device planted with a deliberate aim to harm the ambassador," police spokeswoman Andrea Zoulova said.

The explosion happened when Jamal al-Jamal, the 56-year-old diplomat, manipulated an old office safe deposit box, Ms. Zoulova said.

Allegedly that safe, located in what was the PLO's offices in Prague during the Iron Curtain period, when Czechoslovakia was a conveinet shipping point for Semtex and weapons to the PLO from the Soviets, had not been opened in 20-25 years.

Whoever was the Palestinian-Terrorist-In-Charge at the time put something nasty in the safe and just scored a time-delayed own-goal.

Quite the explosive way to blast in the New Year.

Head Of American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee Accused Of Multiple Acts Of Sexual Harassment

Michigan Arab solidarity only goes so far, and now there's a breaking sexual harassment scandal involving Imad Hamad. Yes that Imad Hamad - Detroit News Michiganian of the Year for 2002 (Boy can the DN pick em huh?), suspected member of the PFLP terrorist group and supporter of Hezbollah and Hamas. Yes that Imad Hamad.

The Detroit Free Press: Lawmaker accuses civil-rights advocate Imad Hamad of sexually harassing her

Hilariously enough, the AADC webpage honoring Hamad points to this Detroit News page that happens to currently feature this story: State Rep. Tlaib accuses Arab-American leader of sexual harassment. Oops, I bet they fix that quickly. Until that fix, go forth and enjoy the irony.

And, according to the articles it is not just one woman coming forward with these allegations, but many.

Apparently sexual harassment isn't a form of discrimination opposed by the American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee.

Then again under Islam, women are at quite a lower status than men, so he may have considered these alleged acts acceptable especially among his peers.

Ah, the fabled land of Dearbornistan, where the rules and norms of behavior are apparently quite different from the rest of America.
