Germany’s new Chancellor Friedrich Merz recently extended his wide-ranging record of duplicity by throwing Israel to the wolves, accusing it and not Hamas of killing civilians and endangering children. It’s the latest betrayal of Israel by the political establishment of a country that was founded with a mandate to help safeguard the Jewish state, notes Sabine Beppler-Spahl in The European Conservative.

Palestinian Culture: Unique in its Own Destructive Way
Although the Palestinian Authority enjoys an array of cultural departments and programs, A.J. Caschetta in Jewish World Review finds that all of it – art, education, literature, poetry, music, education and film – is oriented to two goals: the vilification of Jews and the destruction of Israel. Caschetta notes this is in sharp contrast to Arab and Muslim traditions, which include myriad aesthetically normal cultural works. Palestinianism, Caschetta finds, is “a very sick culture”, driven by resentment and fuelled by hate.
