Palestinian Authority: Lindsey Graham was “a Trojan horse of Israel and the Zionist lobby”

When US Senator Lindsey Graham, one of Israel's greatest American supporters, died suddenly last week, the Palestinian Authority was quick to smear his memory.

According to the official PA daily—the PA's mouthpiece, Lindsey Graham only pretended to be loyal to America, behaving like an Israeli agent while serving as an American lawmaker. Therefore, the PA libeled him as Israel's "Trojan horse" within the Senate:

Official PA daily columnist Bassem Barhoum: "The conservative Republican senator, Lindsey Graham, who passed away the day before yesterday, was considered a Trojan horse of Israel and the Zionist lobby within the decision-making institutions in the US."

While defiling a dead man's memory is a new low for the PA, Palestinian Media Watch has exposed numerous anti-American statements and personal attacks against US President Trump by PA officials – including PA Chairman Abbas.
