PA accuses PM Netanyahu of incitement for comparing Palestinian cartoon with visually similar Nazi cartoon
“Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu protested on his website (sic. – should be: Facebook page) the materials being published on the official Facebook page of the Palestinian National Security Forces on the issue of the right of return. The Israeli Prime Minister’s website used these materials to claim that 93% of our people are Antisemitic!
The Israeli Prime Minister’s website published a cartoon that had appeared on the Facebook page of the Palestinian National Security Forces, which expresses that Israel is preventing [the realization of] the right of return and the implementation of the decisions of the international institutions regarding the Palestinian refugees, and compared it to a cartoon attacking Jews that had been published in a Nazi newspaper in 1930.
On this issue, National Security Forces spokesman Hafez Al-Rifai said: ‘This step is part of the insane incitement campaign the Israeli government is mounting against the [Palestinian] leadership, in order to dissuade it from continuing to demand the rights of our people and from achieving a just peace.’
Al-Rifai emphasized that the National Security Forces are a national institution that looks out for the homeland and [its] citizens, and protects not only their security, but also all their interests. [He noted] that the publication of this cartoon occurred as part of the defense of the right of return of the millions of refugees – a right guaranteed by all the international agreements and conventions, and [by the] UN resolutions.
He said: ‘The attempt to defame the Palestinians and their national institutions is a failed and obvious attempt that will not dissuade us from continuing to march towards a state, full independence and the achievement of our legitimate, historical rights.’”
