As tension prevails between Israelis and Palestinians in Jerusalem, official
Palestinian Authority TV chose to rebroadcast a "documentary" film on the
history of the Fatah movement, which contains harsh Antisemitic statements
that demonize Jews.
The film explains that Jews were expelled from European countries in the
Middle Ages because the Europeans "could not bear their character traits,
monopolies, corruption, and their control and climbing up positions in
government." It also states that these countries "felt they had suffered a
tragedy by providing refuge for the Jews." Finally, it claims European
countries later saw the Balfour Declaration, in which Britain stated that it
viewed "with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for
the Jewish people," as "an ideal solution to get rid of" the Jews.
"Faced with the Jews' schemes, Europe could not bear their character traits,
monopolies, corruption, and their control and climbing up positions in
government. In 1290, King Edward I issued a decree banishing the Jews [from
England]. Following him were France, Germany, Austria, Holland,
Czechoslovakia, Spain and Italy. The European nations felt that they had
suffered a tragedy by providing refuge for the Jews. Later the Jews obtained
the Balfour Declaration, and Europe saw it as an ideal solution to get rid
of them."
