Palestinian Authority: Trump speaks “frivolity, childishness, and instability” and partners with Nazis

Itamar Marcus and Ephraim D. Tepler|

President Donald Trump has gone to great lengths to improve the lives of Palestinians. He has invested tremendous political and financial capital to genuinely attempt to give Palestinians a future of opportunity instead of one of violence and terror. Yet, the Palestinian Authority has responded not with appreciation, but with vicious demonization.

Jibril Rajoub, one of the PA's most senior officials and among the closest to Mahmoud Abbas, has unleashed multiple hate-filled rants against Trump in recent weeks. Rajoub mocked Trump as frivolous, childish, and unstable— "a puppet" of the "Nazis who control Israel":

Jibril Rajoub: "An [American] president is in power who speaks in a language of frivolity, childishness, and instability and lack of perspective, even at the minimum level... This [pro-Israel] bias - in my opinion, it is even more than that. He has even become a toy, a puppet in the hands of the group of Nazis who control Israel."

The previous week, Rajoub accused "criminal Trump" being a partner to and supporting "neo-Nazi" Israel:

Fatah Central Committee Secretary Jibril Rajoub: "The American administration gave the green light to this fascist [Israeli] government, the neo-Nazi government, to treat the Palestinian issue as if it were an internal Israeli matter, including the continuation of ethnic cleansing, genocide, and the slow annexation of all Palestinian territories in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. This, of course, aligns with the belief of these neo-Nazis who control Israel... Those who are doing in Gaza what the Nazis did in the 1940s will undoubtedly have no problem taking any [further] step... They behave like the neighborhood bully… with the support of the criminal Trump, who is their partner."

Rajoub's hate speech is not isolated. Earlier this year, Palestinian Media Watch reported on how Rajoub accused Trump of joining together with "neo-Nazi choir" Israel to "impose their will on the world."

Rajoub's statements are part of the PA's policy of demonizing the US and its leaders, which has been going on for decades. The PA's disdain for the US has been expressed during both Democratic and Republican administrations. This is in spite of the US being the country giving the greatest amount of funding to the PA since its establishment.
