Many of the Israelis living in Judea and Samaria have long expressed concern over the Palestinian Authority’s armed police force, which is active in the region. This week, an alert resident captured armed PA officers on film as they drove through “Area C” – a region ostensibly under full Israeli control. The officers were seen […]
The Palestine Liberation Organization’s mission to the United Nations has, on its logo, wiped Israel off the map. The logo is displayed on the website of the Palestinian Authority’s mission to the U.N., which is technically represented by the PLO, the “sole representative of the Palestinian people.” The Permanent Observer Mission of Palestine, as it […]
