The article exposes how official Palestinian Authority (PA) sources celebrated and promoted violence during the September 2023 "Flood of Al-Aqsa" riots, glorifying participants as "heroes" and inciting further unrest.

he main arguments of the article from Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) about the September 2023 "Flood of Al-Aqsa" riots are:

  1. Glorification of Violence: The Palestinian Authority (PA) and Fatah are accused of glorifying the violence that took place during the riots. They refer to the rioters as "heroes" and "defenders of Al-Aqsa."

  2. Promotion of Incitement: Official PA sources and media outlets are said to have encouraged the riots by framing the actions of the participants as a legitimate response to the Israeli presence and policies related to the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

  3. Historical Context of Incitement: The article argues that the PA's rhetoric follows a long-standing pattern of incitement and justification for violence, which they claim has fueled unrest in the past, particularly around religiously significant sites like Al-Aqsa.

  4. Impact on Peace Efforts: The piece suggests that the PA’s promotion of such violence undermines peace efforts and contributes to ongoing tensions between Israelis and Palestinians, particularly in Jerusalem.

These arguments emphasize the PA’s role in promoting violence and unrest, portraying it as a deliberate political strategy.
