Itongadol.- Shocking statistics showing that 1/4 of the world\’s population holds anti-Semitic views the direct result of PA propaganda, PM says.
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu opened his weekly Cabinet meeting Sunday by addressing disturbing statistics from the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), which published a survey last week proving that over 25% of the world\’s population holds anti-Semitic views.
"This is the result of the Palestinian Authority\’s endless incitement against Israel and attempts to distort Israel\’s image and the character of the Jewish people, as we know from past experience," Netanyahu said.
Earlier this year, the Israeli government only released its annual "Palestinian Incitement Index", which showed that incitement against Israel and the Jewish people is continuing on official media channels including – inter alia – by bodies that are very close to the PA Chairman and in educational and religious networks.
Such incitement ranges from the glorification of Nazism and the lionization of Adolf Hitler, to programs on official PA television featuring heavily-stereotyped Jews as villains (and encouraging violence against them), and various TV and radio shows which literally wipe the Jewish state off the map.
"The PA defines the existence and the creation of Israel as a catastrophe," Netanyahu said. "Those who see the creation of Israel as a catastrophe do not want peace."
