PA TV host: “Killing students and destroying schools and universities is always the American policy”
When a US strike on Iran tragically hit a school adjacent to a military base, official PA TV's host Fayez Abbas quickly exploited the event to libel the US. Abbas stated that it is "always" US "policy" to murder children and target educational institutions:
Official PA TV "Israeli affairs expert" Fayez Abbas: "When [US President] Trump talks about the approaching hour of freedom, is there freedom approaching after the bombing of a school? A school for girls, about 100 female students were killed… Were they part of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards? But killing students and destroying schools and universities and the like is always the American policy, only of the Americans."

Fayez Abbas has been official PA TV's "expert" on Israeli affairs for years, which proves that PA TV endorses his statements and views.
Palestinian Media Watch has exposed PA TV host Fayez Abbas' anti-American comments of ridicule in the past, as well as his antisemitic statements comparing Israelis to Nazis. In fact, he has even attacked PMW and our director Itamar Marcus for exposing that the Red Cross facilitates "Pay-for-Slay" terror salaries:
Official PA TV "Israeli affairs expert" Fayez Abbas: "An extremist right-wing organization Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) prepared a report saying that the Red Cross fills out forms for the prisoners (i.e., terrorists) and they are submitted to the PA to pay salaries to the prisoners. Of course, the director of this extremist right-wing organization [Itamar Marcus], demanded the Red Cross be prevented from visiting the prisoners, because the Red Cross is part of the plot against Israel. UNRWA, and now it's the Red Cross… This guy [Marcus] comes out against me day and night, there is no doubt that he is watching me now, recording me, and preparing reports. I heard him with another report, preparing reports that are all exaggeration, lies, and evasion… The budget of this institute PMW is $20 million per year (sic., under $1 million), and it is funded by people from the American right-wing."

Just as Fayez Abbas spread the libel that the US deliberately targets children in the current war against Iran, he has also indoctrinated PA TV viewers with a libel that Jewish textbooks call for "murder and to kill the gentiles":
The following was said in response to a report on Israel demanding that an international body manage the Gaza Strip until reforms are conducted in the PA, during a ceasefire in Hamas' Oct. 7 war on Israel
Official PA TV "Israeli affairs expert" Fayez Abbas: "Why don't they [Israelis] talk about implementing reforms in Israel... and about the studies in the [Israeli] religious educational institutions?... They teach Jewish religious law, [which] is entirely full of [calls for] murder and incitement to kill the gentiles, meaning those who are not Jewish.This exists and is written in [their] textbooks, how they [should] liquidate the Palestinian or the Arab... The Israeli curricula should also be addressed, whether it is the regular [state] education system or the studies taking place in the religious institutions of the Jews in Israel."

The following are two examples of Fayez Abbas' anti-American outbursts:
- "Trump is a liar, Rubio is a fool, Americans are hypocrites, base, and mean"
Official PA TV "Israeli affairs expert" Fayez Abbas: "[Trump] said: ‘I don't want people to be killed [in war with Iran],' but he is a liar… Look at the American hypocrisy, baseness, and contemptibility. The US imposes sanctions on five Arab organizations that provide aid to the Palestinian people, claiming they provide aid to Hamas and the PFLP... Is American Secretary of State [Rubio] such a fool? [The sanctions are] American hypocrisy and an American lie, and the American secretary of state is like these two, [Israeli Minister of National Security Itamar] Ben Gvir and [Israeli Minister of Finance Bezalel] Smotrich, and no different from them. And perhaps he is even much worse than them.

- PA TV "expert" ridicules US president: "Trump has a vision like I have professorship in nuclear physics"
Official PA TV "Israeli affairs expert" Fayez Abbas: "A statement was released from the White House rejecting the Egyptian-Arab plan to rehabilitate the Gaza Strip, and they said that [US President] Trump continues to adhere to his vision for the area (i.e., 2025 Trump plan for Gaza). Trump has a vision like I have professorship in nuclear physics. Trump has no vision, no ideology, nothing. He decides on the spot, and no one can guess what he will say or do."

The following are two examples of Fayez Abbas' comparisons of Israelis to Nazis:
- "Israeli leaders are prized students of Goebbels in Nazi Germany"
"Israeli affairs expert" Fayez Abbas: "What is happening now in the Al-Aqsa Mosque plaza and what will happen tomorrow or in two days at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre plaza is the greatest proof that Israel has declared religious war against Islam and Christianity at the same time... A religious war and Israeli apartheid... This policy that the Jew is the ‘Aryan,' as happened in Germany- It is the same policy, the same ideological thought. I think most of the Israeli leaders are prized students of Goebbels, the minister of propaganda in the period of Nazi Germany."
[Official PA TV, Palestine This Morning, April 21, 2022]
The phrase "What is happening now in the Al-Aqsa Mosque plaza" refers to Israeli attempts to restore order at the Al-Aqsa Mosque plaza where Palestinians were rioting violently during Ramadan.
- Netanyahu is Nazi propaganda minister "Goebbels' outstanding student"
"Israeli affairs expert" Fayez Abbas: "Look at the picture [of Netanyahu], how his face looks. He is raising his hand like this. He should have done it a bit like this, the Nazi salute, of Hitler. It is similar to it, just a little different. Because he is careful in these matters, he left [his hands] like this… Goebbels was the propaganda minister in the period of Nazi Germany, and apparently Netanyahu read Goebbels' books and he is Goebbels' outstanding student."

The Iranian school referred to in the first video above was the Shajaba Tayyiba School in Minab in the south of Iran. The school, which is situated 60 meters from an Iranian military base of which it was once part, was hit during the Israeli-American attacks on Iran during Operation Roaring Lion on Feb. 28, 2026.
