[AS I SEE IT - If - as this article reveals - even the youngest Arabs are regularly being brainwashed to hate Israel and the Jewish people, how can we ever believer their leaders have any intention of peace? As much as the Jewish people must be sick of war, it is difficult to understand how they can make concession after costly concession for peace only to find themselves taken advantage of again and again. - Stan]
JERUSALEM, Israel -- U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is pushing Middle East peace, but according to a new report released by the Israeli government, Palestinian leaders are spreading a different message to their own people.
The annual Palestinian Incitement Index exposes consistent examples of the Palestinian Authority urging its citizens to abandon peace in favor of hate."The main message of this incitement on a daily basis that is projected and transmitted on a daily basis is that sooner or later Israel should be eliminated," Intelligence Affairs Minister Yuval Steinitz said.
The messages contain four main themes:
. Israel has no right to exist.
. Its disappearance is unavoidable and should be expected soon.
. Jews are sub-human creatures and must be dealt with accordingly.
. All forms of struggle, including terrorism, are legitimate in order to realize the final goal.
One example features a young Palestinian girl singing, "Oh you who murdered Allah's pious prophets, oh you who were brought up on spilling blood. You have been condemned to humiliation and hardship - oh sons of Zion, oh most evil among creations, oh barbaric monkeys, wretched pigs."
Another video shows Palestinian children shouting, "Lift your hand. Raise your voice. This Zionist must die."
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' web page says "Jesus was a Palestinian who was crucified by the Jews" and called Jesus a "Palestinian messenger."
The official P.A. school Facebook page quotes Hitler.
All these examples have one thing in common: They are directed toward young Palestinians.
"As a matter of fact, a Palestinian child from the day he is born until the day his mind is already shaped is going through the brainwashing, this indoctrination, this genocidal indoctrination day in and day out," Yossi Kuperwasser, director general of the Israeli Ministry of Strategic Affairs, explained."There's no other think," he continued. "It's not competing with other messages. These are the only messages he gets."
Ironically, Palestinian incitement increased during the latest round of peace negotiations by Kerry.
"This is a major obstacle to peace if what we are talking about is not just a piece of paper but a real genuine peace," Steinitz said.

"Critics Fear Kerry Putting Israel at Risk," By Chris Mitchell,January 07, 2014; http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/insideisrael/2014/January/Critics-Fear-Kerry-Putting-Israel-at-Risk/
JERUSALEM, Israel -- U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry left Israel on Monday but is expected back next week.His visits are part of a major U.S. effort to broker an agreement between Israelis and Palestinians.
...While Kerry puts U.S. prestige on the line to create a Palestinian state, some are concerned the Palestinians see the negotiations only as one stage in their long range plan. Abba Zaik, a senior Palestinian official, told Syrian TV a Palestinian state based on the 1967 lines was only the beginning. "Even the most extreme among us, Hamas, or the fighting forces, want a state within the '67 borders," he said. "Afterward, we [will] have something to say because the inspiring idea cannot be achieved all at once - rather in stages." Many interpret the "inspiring idea" as the elimination of the state of Israel.
"Proposed Peace Agreement Endangers Israel's Borders" - By Chris Mitchell,January 09, 2014;http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/insideisrael/2014/January/Proposed-Peace-Agreement-Endangers-Israels-Borders/ "... David Elhaiini, mayor of the Jordan Valley Regional Council, wondered what happen if Israel's friends are wrong. .'Our friends, the United States, the European states say take chance for peace, take risks for peace and give up all the area. And what will happen after 5 and 10 years? If we will take those risks and the border will be near Tel Aviv. And they will throw fire and bombs on Tel Aviv,'Elhaiini said."
