Despite demonizing Israel as a "racist," "ethnic cleansing state," official PA daily op-ed calls for coexistence and peace with Israelis
Op-ed by Omar Hilmi Al-Ghoul, regular columnist for Al-Hayat Al-Jadida
Headline: “Netanyahu establishes racism”
“Since the establishment of the Israeli ethnic cleansing state, it has been spreading racism and creating hatred, hostility and occupation, even though its founding colonialist leaders tried to clothe it in ‘democratic’ garb to hide the ugliness of the Nakba (i.e., ‘the catastrophe,’ Palestinian term for the establishment of the State of Israel)…
Since it was the colonialist West, in all its capitalist varieties, that supported it and established its growth and development on Arab Palestinian land, it has advanced and disseminated the distorted idea of its being ‘democratic.’ It even brainwashed world public opinion, when it spread [the claim] that Israel was ‘the only oasis of democracy’ in the Greater Middle East and among the peoples of the Arab nation, for well-known purposes that are linked to the interests of the capitalist West in general and in particular, the US…
The new Jewish ‘ghetto’ state has passed many decisions and laws establishing its racist character as a state for the Zionist Jews. It has used the ugliest forms of racism against the Arab Palestinian people that has held on to the land of its ancestors (i.e., Israeli Arabs who did not leave in 1948)… Possibly, the legislation passed by the previous Israeli Parliament, the 18th Israeli Parliament, proves the nature and composition of the Israeli state, the organized terror state…
Nonetheless, the Palestinians in the interior (i.e., Israeli Arabs) and wherever they are must cooperate with those who support peace and real coexistence with the Israelis… to safeguard their rights, their freedom and their national identity, and to broaden the circle of the supporters of peace and coexistence within Israel… with the aim of strengthening the peace option based on the two-state solution.”
