“Israel has repeated Kristallnacht,” claims PA Daily, calling Israel a "fascist state"
Excerpt of an op-ed by Bassem Barhoum, regular columnist for the official PA daily
Headline: “Fascist Israel is standing against an undefeatable people”
“What is new is that the world has begun to clearly see the truth of fascist and racist Israel. It has seen that Israel has become a state that is similar to the fascist states that appeared in Europe in the 1930s. Before the eyes of the world Israel has repeated Kristallnacht, the night on which members of the Nazi party in Germany burned and destroyed the Jews’ stores and property, and this was when it let fascist extremist groups destroy the property of Palestinians in Lod, Jaffa, Haifa, and Acre (sic., while some Jewish violence occurred, it was in response to ongoing violent riots by Israeli Arabs in these cities) to the point that the owners of the Zionist project in the West were heard for the first time saying ‘This is not the Israel that we wanted.’”
This op-ed was published during ongoing violent Arab riots in Jerusalem and other mixed Jewish-Arab cities in Israel, and while Hamas and Islamic Jihad fired thousands of rockets from the Gaza Strip at Israeli population centers.
