WHY DOESN'T HE CLOSE PA MEDIA FOR ANTI-JEWISH INCITEMENT?
The Zionist Organization of America (ZOA), has learnt that Palestinian Authority (PA) president Mahmoud Abbas has shut down within the PA Al-Jazeera, a major media that is not under his control, for "incitement" against him and the PA. That being the case, why has not Abbas closed down PA media, which he completely controls, for incitement against Jews and Israel, as required by required under the signed Oslo agreements and the 2003 Roadmap peace plan?
Al-Jazeera, the most popular network of choice among Palestinians, was shut down on Abbas' orders for committing "incitement" after it aired comments on July 14 by senior Fatah member and PLO foreign minister Farouk Kaddoumi who accused Abbas personally of involvement in an alleged plot to kill Yasser Arafat.
The Palestinian Information Ministry said in a statement, "Al-Jazeera has always dedicated a wide portion of its broadcasts to incitement against the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Palestinian Authority" and PA Prime Minister Salam Fayyad said yesterday that he commissioned PA Attorney General Ahmed Al-Mughni to take the legal procedures necessary to prosecute Al-Jazeera ('PA shuts down Al-Jazeera's West Bank offices,' Maan News Agency, July 15, 2009).
