Palestinian Authority Condemns Terrorism Against Arabs — But Not Against Jews
Share
Category: PERSECUTION OF GOD’S PEOPLE
Summary:
The Palestinian Authority (PA) strongly condemned a bombing of a mosque in Syria, describing it as a "cowardly, heinous act" and expressing condolences to the victims' families. However, when a Palestinian terrorist killed two Israelis on the same day, PA senior advisor Mahmoud Al-Habbash blamed Israeli policies for the attack and did not issue a condemnation. The official PA daily framed the Israeli attack as a response to Israeli aggression, without expressing sympathy for the victims or rejecting violence. This contrasts with the PA's explicit denunciation of terror when the victims are non-Jews, including religious and moral condemnation in the case of the Syria attack. The PA's differing responses highlight a lack of condemnation for Palestinian attacks targeting Israelis despite claims of opposing all forms of violence and terror.
Mysterion Insights
Scripture: Proverbs 17:15
"He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the righteous, Both of them alike are an abomination to the LORD."
Commentary:
When a leadership condemns violence against some but rationalizes it against others, it signals deeper moral confusion than official statements can mask. There’s a real impact for those living in Israel when the lives of their neighbors are treated as less worthy of outrage or grief. This kind of double standard in response to violence happening in the land God gave to Israel carries a particular prophetic weight. The uneven treatment of bloodshed aligns with patterns of hostility toward God’s people seen repeatedly in Scripture.
Prophetic Trend:
Selective outrage against violence in Israel points to prophetic patterns of enduring hostility and moral distortion described in the biblical narrative.

When terror is carried out against Jews, however, it is the fault of the Jews. In the most recent example, Mahmoud Abbas’ senior advisor, Mahmoud Al-Habbash, used the PA’s official news agency to publicize his fierce condemnation of the Islamist bombing of a mosque in Syria as a “cowardly, heinous act.” However, when a Palestinian terrorist murdered two Israelis on the same day, Israel was “the one responsible for any action or violent reaction in the region,” according to Abbas’ advisor.
