Genesis of an Anti-Semitic State By David Bedein On May 27, 2013, FrontPage

This week, a “Global Forum Against Anti-Semitism” will gather in Jerusalem.

The time has come for the Global Forum to consider the fact that a new anti-Semitic state is in formation.

Imagine, if you would, if any nascent nation-state anywhere in the
world was in formation, and that it had taken on the following features:

* Selling land to a Jew would be defined as  a capital crime.

* Its new constitution would not allow for juridical status for
Judaism and  Jews would not even be allowed to live in the country.

* The school system would inculcate children to make war on the Jews.

* Those who murder Jews would become the heroes of the new country.

* The designated head of state earned his Ph.D. on the basis of a
published thesis arguing that the millions of Jews who were murdered
during World War II were actually executed by the Zionists, who were
allies of the Nazis.

The reaction to such a “state in formation” would be an outcry from all of the Jewish groups that monitor anti-Semitism.

Yet there has been no outcry from most Jewish groups in the case of
the proposed Palestinian Arab state, based on the ideology of the
Palestine Liberation Organization, even though the proposed state
possesses these six characteristics, as described above.

However, there are some influential non-Jews who have expressed
concern about the anti-Semitism of the nascent Palestinian Authority.

A case in point: Ten years ago, our agency covered a briefing for a
visiting United States congressional delegation provided by the former
Vatican representative to Israel, Archbishop Pietro Sambi. The Papal
 Nuncio warned US lawmakers that the new Palestinian Authority approved a
draft state constitution, funded by USAID, which provided no juridical
status for religions other than Islam in the new Palestinian Arab
entity.

The Papal Nuncio also warned that the Palestinian Authority had
adopted a Shariah law that was modeled on the Sharia law that rules in
Saudi Arabia, which dictates absolute supremacy of Muslims, as matter of
law.

Archbishop Sambi provided the text of that proposed PA constitution,
with the hope that Jewish groups which would object to such a proposed
Palestinian state constitution.

In addition, Archbishop Sambi initiated a Vatican study of the new PA
textbooks, which the Vatican would determine to be anti-Semitic in
nature.

As a result of the Vatican study of the PA textbooks, the Italian
government withdrew its money from the Palestinian Ministry of Education
textbook project.

An expert whose research is impeccable on this subject is journalist
Dr. Arnon Groiss, who earned his Ph.D. in Islamic studies at Princeton,
and who worked for ten years as a researcher for IMPACT.se, also known
as the Center for Monitoring the Impact of Peace, where Dr. Groiss
became an expert on Arab school books.

Over the past year, Dr. Groiss made presentations for staffers and
members of the US Congress and the Canadian Parliament, in which he
showed how the new textbooks of the Palestinian Authority, instead of
educating for peace with Israel, promote the “armed struggle” to
liberate Palestine — all of Palestine.

From these textbooks, Groiss showed that the PA curriculum teaches the following fundamentals:

* Jews are foreigners and have no rights in Palestine.

* The Jews have a dubious, and even murderous, character.

* Israel is an illegitimate usurper that occupied Palestine in 1948 and 1967.

* Israel is the source of all kinds of evil done to the Palestinians.

* Peace with Israel based on reconciliation is not sought.

* Armed struggle for liberation is encouraged instead.

* The exact area to be liberated is never restricted to the areas taken by Israel in 1967.

* Jihad and martyrdom are explicitly encouraged.

The list of accusations against Israel appearing in the new
Palestinian Authority schoolbooks includes more than 25 allegations,
including:

* Israel contributes to Palestinian social ills and family violence.

* Israel causes the increase of drug abuse cases in Palestinian society.

* Israel pollutes the Palestinian environment.

* Israel usurps Muslim and Christian holy places.

* Israel strives to obliterate the Palestinian national identity and heritage.

Over the past two years, New Jersey Rep. Chris Smith, a 34-year
Republican veteran of Congress, announced that he would lead a campaign
for the US to condition aid to UNRWA and the Palestinian Authority on
the nullification of the anti-Semitic curriculum of the Palestinian
Authority.

Rep. Smith’s initiative was reminiscent of Archbishop Sambi, who died
two years ago while serving as the new Papal Nuncio in Washington.

Archbishop Sambi was never afraid to take a stand on the official anti-Semitism which he discerned in the Palestinian Authority.

It remains to be seen whether mainstream Jewish groups will follow
the lead of Rep. Smith and the late Archbishop Sambi to make such
demands of the Palestinian Authority.

Sometimes it takes a courageous gentile to speak up, so that Jews
will not hesitate to follow their example. Perhaps the Global Forum
Against Anti-Semitism will toast the legacy and the message of
Archbishop Pietro Sambi, whose warnings about the anti-Semitism of
nascent Palestinian Arab entity should be heeded.
