PLO gets $50 million in aid, then calls for jihad and terror against American soldiers
To show just how ungrateful they are to the US for the help it gave them in robbing land to which they have no national claim, the PLO, after having signed for $50 million in aid, then calls for jihad against American soldiers:
The Palestinian Authority continues to openly promote vicious anti-American hatred right after signing a deal to receive $50 million in direct aid from the US.That the US government is willing to continue negotiations, and cooperate with and give money to these monsters who incite against America is offensive to the people of the United States, regular citizens and soldiers alike, and it also reeks of betrayal. And it shows that Bush is no better than his Democratic counterparts.
Palestinian Media Watch reports:
Radio and television sermons by senior PA religious officials in the past week have presented the US as foremost among the "heretical" countries, and as an enemy trying to dismantle the Islamic world.
In the presence of PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, one religious leader called for Iraqis to intensify terrorist uprisings against American soldiers.
The timing of these anti-US sermons is particularly significant, and not just because they come on the heels of the $50-million grant from the US. The PA has received considerable worldwide criticism for the hatred and calls for violence in its official sermons. In recent months, it has been reported that the texts of these sermons are now presented to PA officials for approval before the public broadcasts.
The following is the report of the recent signing of an agreement for $50 million in US aid to the PA, followed by the two Palestinian Authority sermons of September 2, 2005:
"The [Palestinian] National Authority yesterday signed an agreement with the US Government, to the value of 50 million dollars. According to the agreement, Washington will provide the National Authority with a grant for funding housing and infrastructure projects. On the Palestinian side, Finance Minister Dr. Salam Fayad, signed [the agreement] and for the American side, the US Consul General, Jacob Willis, and the vice manager of the US Agency for International Development, David Harden, signed the agreement."

Sermon by Yusuf Abu Sneina, Imam of Al-Aqsa Mosque
"Anyone who watches closely the nature of our world today, can see that the heretical countries - first and foremost, the USA - have succeeded greatly in tearing our Islamic world apart by disintegrating and splitting up more than one Islamic state, intending to weaken it, disperse [its citizens] and plunder its resources. It is terrorism, and there's no choice but to fight it.
"As regards Iraq, there is much to say about it. The USA has composed a draft of the Iraqi Constitution in a way that it will serve US interests and enhance the disintegration of Iraq's unity. The new constitution includes federal solutions, which are dividing Iraq into small countries.
"A federal government hides behind it; the seeds of a future civil war… The USA is planning to rule Saudi Arabia and disintegrate it, too, despite the close friendly relations between the two countries...
"Is the USA going to fulfill its ambitions and aggressive plans? And, for how long shall the submission and surrender to the plans of the enemies of the [Islamic] nation?"

Sermon by Yusuf Jum'a Salamah, PA Minister of the Waqf and Religious Affairs, in the presence of Mahmoud Abbas and other senior PA officials
"We say to the dear, heroic Iraqi nation, turn this incident [the accidental death of 1,000 Iraqis] into an opportunity for resisting [term regularly used by PA to describe terrorist attacks] the [American] occupation, for uniting families, for unifying the forces and for opposition to the policy of dismantling Iraq and dividing it geographically."
[Yusuf Jum'a Salamah, Official Friday sermon, PA TV, September 2, 2005]
The PA, now the recipient of $50-million of US taxpayers money, has consistently over the years broadcast anti-US hate speeches on its public media. Click here for a clip from 2003 which refers to America as the "foremost enemy on the Palestinian people."
In a recent July 8th broadcast, Abbas-controlled PA TV calls to "annihilate the infidels [common reference to US and Western countries]… God, count them and kill them to the last one, and don't leave even one." Click here to view.
