Bassam Tawil—UN Chief Guterres, the Media and Palestinian Fake News:
Fake news is an old story in the Palestinian world. Yet recently, fake news has been taken to new heights by Palestinian spin-doctors, who have been working overtime to mislead the international community and media. A number of stories published in the past few days in the Palestinian media demonstrate the extent to which Palestinians are prepared to go to deceive the world and impact international public opinion.
Excellence is often a virtue — except when one excels at lying. And if there is one thing at which the Palestinians have excelled in the past few decades, it is spreading lies about its conflict with Israel. The mainstream media in the West usually takes the fake-news bait — it sells papers! — and demonstrates tolerance, if not sympathy, toward Palestinian-produced fake news fabrications.
The most recent case of Palestinian fake news emerged during United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres’s visit to Ramallah, the de facto capital of the Palestinians. The UN chief, who does not seem to be familiar with the Palestinian culture of lies, fell victim to a typical PR stunt organized by his Palestinian hosts.
According to the Wafa news agency, the official organ of the Palestinian Authority (PA), Guterres “held a meeting on Tuesday evening (August 29) with families of Palestinian martyrs and prisoners held in Israeli occupation prisons.” The report said that the families called on the UN secretary-general to take rapid and serious action to save the lives of more than 6500 male and female prisoners held in Israeli prisons. Wafa then quoted Guterres as saying: “We understand the suffering of the Palestinian prisoners and we will work with the relevant parties to end their suffering.”
First, it ought to be of interest that the “prisoners” and “martyrs” are Palestinians who were involved, directly and indirectly, in terror attacks. Many of the prisoners have Jewish blood on their hands and were convicted of often unspeakable crimes.
Second, it quickly became clear that the meeting between the UN chief and the Palestinian families was part of an ambush set up by his Palestinian hosts in Ramallah. According to a UN spokesman, Guterres was surprised by the sudden request of the Palestinian Authority to meet with the “mothers of detained children” but that he agreed to meet with them. To his great credit, Guterres also issued a clarification that the report in Wafa that he had expressed sympathy for the prisoners’ plight was “fabricated.”

SnyderTalk Comment:
I wish the whole world knew that Palestinian leaders are liars to the core. Sadly, most people don’t know.
I wish everyone knew that Israel is the victim in the Middle East and that no Arab state except Jordan wants anything to do with Palestinians. Palestinians represent about 50% of the Jordanian population, but the other 50% sees them as being beneath contempt. The world doesn’t have a clue.
World leaders know but don’t care. They continue to shove money into Palestinian coffers even though they know that a huge percentage of those funds (billions of dollars) mysteriously disappears.
If ordinary people who pay taxes knew that the money they sacrifice for the Palestinian cause is being stolen by Palestinian leaders, they would demand an accounting.
The establishment media doesn’t report the truth, but that doesn’t mean they don’t know the truth. How can they not know it?
Turning a blind eye to Palestinian terrorism and dishonesty is bearing fruit for the Palestinian cause in the U.S. and Europe. The fruit is rotten. We are paying a high price for ignoring the truth.
You can’t wink at evil and expect a good result.

“The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me. Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.” (John 17: 22-24)
