Palestinian Authority insult: “The white and racist majority” elected Trump
The Palestinian Authority (PA) has intensified its anti-American rhetoric following the election of President Donald Trump, labeling his supporters as a "white and racist majority" and condemning his pro-Israel cabinet selections. This stance reflects the PA's ongoing hostility toward the U.S. administration's policies in the region.

Why the Palestinian Authority Cannot Allow Free Speech
The Palestinian Authority (PA) enforces strict controls on free speech to suppress dissent and maintain its fragile political standing. Amid a collapsing political system, economic decline, and waning public support, the PA employs repressive measures, such as the 2017 Cybercrime Law, to silence critics and prevent unrest in the West Bank.
“Palestinian terror against Israel undermines any possibility for peace.
Israelis are targeted while waiting for busses while taking a stroll on the promenade while spending time with their family. At the same time, successful terror attacks are celebrated, terrorists are glorified, and their families are financially rewarded for every Israeli they attack. This is inconceivable. It is a moral disgrace. Terror is not a bump in the road. Terror is hatred and bloodshed. It contradicts humanity’s most basic principles of peace. Israel cannot and will not tolerate terror, and we know that in this we are joined by the United States of America… The younger generation of Israelis and Palestinians deserve better. They are all worthy of a future to look towards, a future of peace and prosperity. A future of hope.”
