Dear Editor,
If the new Liberal leader wants to assist the Palestinians, he or she should first talk to them about their attituded towards ridding the Middle East of Jews epitomized by "West Bank resident Jaafar Al-Qadi: "Everyone has been harmed, and Allah willing things will turn out for our benefit. Allah willing the Jews will cease to exist. We know that the Master of the Universe promised us that the Jews will cease to exist."[Official PA TV, Resolve and Confrontation, Dec. 7, 2024]" [1], or repeated words from Palestinian pulpits like, this "Official PA TV sermon: "O Allah, count them one by one and kill them one by one, and do not leave even one." [Official PA TV, Jan. 10, 2025]" [2].
Surely the rights claimed by Palestinians are not the right to murder all the Jews. Clearly peace with Israel is not one of the rights claimed by the Palestinians and it will be rather difficult to persuade the Liberal Party to support the demolition of Israel. It is to be hoped that the new Liberal leader will advocate for peace and base government's foreign aid on efforts by both sides to achieve peace. For that to happen, the homicidal hate must go.
