International law researcher Anwar Abu Aisheh: "Currently there is international silence (i.e., about the 2023 Gaza war), and as you know, the reason for this, politically speaking, is that there is one ruling power in the world that is America. The plague is America, and America is the plague."

Anti-American hate speech has also been echoed in other official PA mouthpieces, such as WAFA:

Headline: "Presidency holds U.S. administration responsible for recent massacres in Gaza"

"Nabil Abu Rudeineh, the official spokesperson for President Mahmoud Abbas, has held the U.S. administration fully responsible for the ongoing bloodshed in Gaza... ‘We hold the U.S. administration fully responsible for the continuation of this bloody aggression...'"

Palestinian Media Watch recently reported on the ongoing Palestinian Authority hatred of the United States and its leaders, calling Donald Trump "a racist… full of racism," among other libels, and calling President Biden a war criminal.
