"Palestinian propagandists are doing everything they can to manufacture an icon of outrage that shows the world just how terrible the Palestinians are suffering and how evil the Israelis are.

For the most part, their efforts have come up short.

Instead of showing the world just how bad things are for people living in the West Bank, they are revealing the intellectual and moral bankruptcy of Palestinian elites. They are also highlighting the antisemitic craziness that has gripped Palestinian society."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"The notion that the Palestinians are the hobbits of the Middle East whose suffering represents a great insuperable wound on humanity's conscience is simply no longer tenable.

Another factor is that a growing number of people are starting to realize that Palestinian suffering is largely self-inflicted."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"But nowhere is this harvest of hate more evident than in Palestinian society itself. In lying to the world about the cause of their suffering, Palestinian elites are lying to themselves and the people they lead.

The anti-Israel and anti-Jewish messaging that Palestinian elites have promoted to Westerners for the past few decades reveals that the inhabitants of the West Bank and Gaza Strip are a long way off from establishing and maintaining a democracy, making peace with Israel and coming to grips with the modern world.

They live in a demon-haunted world of their own making. The end result will be disaster for the Palestinians and possibly for the rest of the world."

Palestinian Propagandists are Losing Their Touch
