What Are Palestinians Really Interested In?

"These fires put both Israelis and Palestinians at risk and are causing severe damage to the land these terrorists claim to be fighting for. These people are not pro-Palestinian, they are pro-terrorism against Jews." — Bassem Eid, Palestinian human rights activist, X, April 30, 2025
Decades of anti-Israel propaganda by Palestinian leaders and media outlets are directly responsible for this hatred. For that reason, any talk about a peace process with the Palestinians has unfortunately become nothing but a sick joke.
Palestinians are far more interested in murdering Jews and setting Israel on fire than they are in "coexisting." They do not want Israel "coexisting" on even one millimeter of the Jews' own historical homeland.
The world needs to realize that the Palestinians have raised a whole generation that worships destruction and death for the Jews -- and even for themselves -- far more than a better and prosperous life.
As fires raged in central Israel in late April, many Palestinians celebrated, brazenly demanded more fires, and called for Israeli homes to be reduced to "ashes."
All this happened on the day Israelis commemorated fallen soldiers and victims of terrorism and prepared to celebrate Independence Day.
"We ask God to protect our people and land. May these fires confuse the [Israeli] occupiers and their embattled settlers," wrote Palestinian social media user Hana Barghouti.
"In the name of Allah," another user, Umm Ibrahim, who posted images from of the blazes, wrote: "the Avenger, the Almighty."
