UN Celebrates Palestinian Fashions While Palestinians Celebrate Murder of Jews

The United Nations hosted a fashion show on November 10th celebrating the UN’s international year of solidarity with the Palestinian people. The event was held on the same day that Palestinians, incited by their leaders, murdered two Israelis in cold blood.

Six Israelis have died at the hands of Palestinian thugs in the last 30 days, including a baby girl who was run over and killed by a member of Hamas on October 22nd. As Israeli UN Ambassador Ron Prosor asked rhetorically regarding the fashion show celebration of the UN’s international day of solidarity with the Palestinian people, “Solidarity with incitement? Solidarity with terror and extremism?” Ambassador Prosor also articulated the irony of the UN fashion event this way: “I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that the Palestinian delegation is off to a fashion show. After all, they are experts in dressing up and disguising the truth.” While Palestinian clothing fashions were being featured at UN headquarters, a more sinister popular Palestinian fashion was being celebrated on social media - using cars to run over and kill Jewish pedestrians. Palestinians have dubbed their latest fashion of murder the “Car Intifada.” A video of a new song with that catchy title, for example, appears on the MoslimMan.Rok Facebook page. It has become a hit that has Palestinians happily singing along to lyrics such as “Run over the two-month-old baby – that is how we get them.” This macabre song is encouraging more Palestinians to follow in the footsteps of the Hamas baby killer. As reported by Palestinian Media Watch, another song popular on Palestinian social media includes the words:

---

“Run [them] over, destroy, annihilate, blow them up; Don’t let the Zionist live long… Today, the entire people demands a hero willing to fight with weapons. He began fighting with a car, running them over like rabbits.”

Palestinian Media Watch also reported on a cartoon appearing on one of Fatah’s official Facebook pages (“Fatah-The Main Page”), which carried the label “the run over organization” and urged people to “Hit the gas at 199 [km/h] for Al-Aqsa.” On another Facebook page, “The National Liberation Movement – Fatah,” a cartoon is posted showing a car going after three fleeing stereotyped Jews wearing hats with the Star of David. Hamas leaders have led the chorus urging their followers to spill as much Jewish blood as possible in the name of "resistance." Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas added his voice to the chorus of incitement to violence, calling on Palestinians to stop Jews from visiting the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, the holiest site in Judaism as well as the location of the Islamic Al Aqsa complex, by using “all means” necessary. The calls for violence by top Palestinian authorities have been enthusiastically answered by thugs in the streets, whom have followed up the baby killing with more carnage. Last week, a Palestinian Jerusalem resident turned his vehicle into a killing machine. An Israeli was killed and 13 others wounded when he aimed his vehicle at a group of people waiting at a light rail station. On the same day, yet another Palestinian ran into and wounded three Israeli soldiers near Jerusalem. Leaders of Abbas’s party, Fatah, and of Hamas, Abbas’s partners in the so-called Palestinian “unity” government, shrugged their shoulders and said that such attacks were perfectly “natural” or “normal” responses to Israeli policies. Indeed, they regard the killers as heroes. The car may be the Palestinians’ murder weapon of choice these days, but knives are not out of fashion. One of Hamas’s leaders said just last week, during a television interview, that even a Palestinian “who owns nothing but his faith has a kitchen in his house in which he has a knife.” It is his duty to “grab his knife and confront the Zionist enemy.” Is it any surprise that in separate knifing incidents on November 10th, an Israeli soldier and a woman were stabbed to death by Palestinians practicing their “faith”? The soldier was killed in Tel Aviv by a Palestinian illegally there to look for work. The woman was killed at a traffic circle in the West Bank after the Palestinian murderer had tried and failed to run over people waiting at a bus station. The Obama administration and European Union issued tepid condemnations of the killings. “It is absolutely critical that the parties take every possible measure to protect civilians and de-escalate tensions,” said US State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki. No kidding — but when it comes to the Palestinians who sing about killing babies, her pleadings fall on deaf ears. United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon issued a statement on November 11th saying he was “deeply concerned about the upsurge in violence and killings over the past few days in Israel and the West Bank." Ban Ki-moon’s statement continued: "Violence only deepens distrust while making more distant the prospects for peace between Israelis and Palestinians. The Secretary-General calls on all sides to do everything they possibly can to avoid further exacerbating an already tense environment.” As usual, the UN at its highest levels refused to lay the blame for the latest spate of violence where it belongs: on the Palestinians and their leadership. The spokesperson’s office for the Secretary General, despite several requests for comment, has refused to specifically condemn the incendiary remarks of Palestinian Authority President Abbas and other Palestinian leaders. There has also been no UN condemnation of the Palestinians’ demand, which they have backed up with violence, that Jews and other non-Muslims be barred from worshipping anywhere on the Temple Mount. Instead, the UN, as well as the Obama administration, appear to support this demand in order to reduce tensions, even though the forcible exclusion of Jews and other non-Muslims from being able to worship at a site sacred to them is contrary to the basic human right of free exercise of religion. It is fashionable for the UN, European leaders, the Obama administration and leftist academics and opinion-makers to praise the Palestinian cause. Speaking the truth regarding the Palestinians’ Jew-hating cult of death has never been in fashion. Ironically, the Palestinian thug who stabbed the Israeli soldier to death in Tel Aviv came close to the truth in a placard he held at a protest, a photo of which appeared on his Facebook page: “We are people who love death while our enemies love life.”
