PA daily says Israel is “racist,” implicitly supports terror attacks against Israelis

Headline: "Israel and the path to the abyss"
      "100 years after the Sykes-Picot Agreement and the Balfour Declaration, and 118 years after the first Zionist congress, [our people] resists… and invents dizzying forms of struggle and resistance. The greatest proof of this is the mighty popular uprising, which broke out two months ago due to the lack of a political prospect and [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu's entanglement in the circles of dark terror… The greatness of the popular uprising lies in the fact that it is totally justified. Many thought that it was inevitable, because it arises from the pain, oppression, humiliation, and lack of prospect, and from the ugly, irresponsible and racist Israeli behavior! It is nourished by the details of reality. It is spontaneous, but not random. Its outbreak was brought about by generations of young Palestinians with great expertise in details. These young people know the thickness of the military uniform the [Israeli] soldiers wear, and know the herds of settlers' daily routine. They know the height of the terraces and roofs in the crowded neighborhoods, from which they will jump while fleeing pursuit. They know that stormy debates and tense discussions rule in every settler's home, and in every army unit."

Sykes-Picot Agreement – A secret agreement between Britain and France negotiated by French diplomat François Georges-Picot and Briton Sir Mark Sykes and concluded in May 1916. The agreement had Russia’s approval and specified Britain’s and France’s proposed spheres of influence and control in the Middle East if the Ottoman Empire was defeated in World War I.
The plan was revealed in 1917 in the Russian press, and subsequently in the British press, angering the Arabs as it contradicted promises of independence made to them - on the condition they helped fight against and bring down the Ottoman Empire. The plan caused lasting distrust on the part of the Arabs in relation to Western countries.

The Balfour Declaration of Nov. 2, 1917 was a letter from British Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour to Baron Rothschild stating that “His Majesty's government views with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people” and is seen as the basis for later international commitments to establish the State of Israel.
