the ideal of dying as "martyrs" for
"Palestine the desired Palestinian
state, according to Israel-based
Palestinian Media Watch.
Not only that, but a Facebook post
by the Palestinian National Security
Forces, which works marginally
with Israeli security forces, imagines
"Palestine" including all of the State of
Israel. That's no barometer for coex-
istence.
Clearly, inciting, promoting, financ-
ing and carrying out anti-Zionist ter-
ror is the business of the P.A. and the
PLO, not just Hamas, Islamic Jihad
and other Arab terrorist groups in the
region, like Lebanon-based Hezbollah.
The international community
hasn't shown the will to impose real
consequences through harsh eco-
nomic sanctions principally to avoid
toppling the P.A. and inviting even
worse leadership. In December, Israel
did take a stand by halting turn-

punish the P.A. for seeking to join
the International Criminal Court at
The Hague in hopes of having Israel
indicted.
Last September, a Brooklyn federal
jury ruled the Jordan-based Arab
Bank was responsible for transactions
that ultimately helped finance Hamas,
whose terror killed and injured
Americans over a set period. A May
trial will determine damages for the
300 victims of those 24 attacks.
We know what Hamas is.
More important than resuming
Israeli-Palestinian talks is discovering
what Holocaust-denying Mahmoud
Abbas is really all about and what
kind of coexistence partner the politi-
cally corrupt Palestinian Authority
really could be.
Beneath their fronts of respectabil-
