If Israeli Jews want “stability and peace,” they should go back to Poland, Russia, Britain, and to “the Arab countries from which the Jews left,” according to official Palestinian Authority (PA) TV.

According to the PA, “that’s how the Jewish problem can be solved.”

A fundamental part of the PA’s ideology of hate is that Jews will never have peace in Israel because Israel is a colonial implant with no right to exist.

The irony of this PA hate-speech is that the PA has been saying for years that the world created the State of Israel to solve its “Jewish problem“:

Official PA daily columnist Omar Hilmi Al-Ghoul: “Who established Israel? The capitalist Western states — the US and Britain and the rest of the European group … They established this illegitimate state to resolve the Jewish problem that gave them no rest.”

So, it seems the PA wants the world to play ping-pong with the Jews. The Europeans sent their Jews to Israel to solve their “Jewish problem,” and now the PA wants Israel’s Jews back in Poland to solve its “Jewish problem.”

According to the PA, the Jews are everyone’s problem everywhere they are, and that is why everyone hates them and wants to be rid of them.

This is such a basic part of PA ideology that Mahmoud Abbas did not hesitate to say it even while speaking to ambassadors at the UN: “Britain and the United States … decided to establish and plant a foreign entity [Israel] … The truth is that these Western countries wanted to get rid of the Jews” [Archive news, YouTube channel, May 15, 2023].

A website of the PA’s ruling Fatah party put this PA hate message into a cartoon, headlined “Get out of my country,” which depicts a dark-skinned Palestinian kicking a light-skinned Israeli and causing him to go flying — apparently, all the way to Poland.

The Palestinian Authority most definitely has a Jewish problem — it is called antisemitism.
