LONG ISLAND, NY (VINnews)-Alan Skorski recently interviewed Itamar Marcus, director of Palestinian Media Watch (PMW), who issued stark warnings about Western perceptions of the Palestinian Authority (PA) and its potential role in governing Gaza.

Speaking during the interview, Marcus cautioned that “the biggest mistake the international community is making is thinking the Palestinian Authority is a good alternative to Hamas.” He argued that if the PA were to take control of Gaza, it would result in “another Hamas in Gaza,” operating under a different name but maintaining the same ideological foundation.
Palestinian Media Watch, an Israeli watchdog organization, monitors media and official communications coming from Palestinian territories, including both the Judea-Samaria region and Gaza. Marcus has long contended that both the PA and Hamas share similar rhetoric and incitement against Israel.
When asked why many European officials and some Democrats in the United States continue to support the creation of a Palestinian state, despite Hamas-led violence across Western cities, Marcus said decades of exposure to slogans like “from the river to the sea” have normalized such views.
“It became so normalized,” Marcus said, “that creating a new PA state seemed the logical position to take for many of these reckless leaders.”
During the interview, Marcus shared video clips PMW produced that draw comparisons between Palestinian Authority rhetoric and Adolf Hitler’s speeches. In one clip, PA President Mahmoud Abbas is heard claiming Hitler did not kill Jews out of hatred, but because Jews “brought ruin to Germany and Europe.” Marcus said this narrative mirrors the PA’s current justification for terror attacks against Israel — not as acts of antisemitism, but as responses to alleged Jewish transgressions in the region.
Marcus also expressed concern about a possible conflict of interest in the Trump administration’s dealings with Qatar. He noted that while the administration has criticized U.S. universities for antisemitic incidents and cut federal funding in some cases, it has simultaneously engaged in business dealings with Qatar — a nation he said donates heavily to those same universities.
It boggles my mind that we need “experts” to be saying this. The PA literally pays terrorists and their families for killing Jews.
It’s about time, that we (and the the free world) should stop with this fake invention called PALESTINE ,there never was such a nation or people, the biblical Falastine has zero connection with today’s so called Palestinians , it’s a fake name given to the land of Israel by the Romans in order to try to erase any Jewish connection to their home land, today’s so called Palestinians are simply Arab squanders in Jewish land , sorry but this is the simple honest facts
fatah and hamas are flip sides of the same coin: one a little more religious and one a little less religious. but they’re both terrorist groups, opposed to peaceful coexistence, and with the same objectives, to destroy israel and kill the jews.
It is true that the PA and HAMAS are not friends, but they both hate us.
PA is JUST as bad!!
Get rid of them all!
It’s time to fumigate !!!
Ofer Bronchtein is an Israeli aide to Macron who’s advising for a Palestinian state. The leftists in Israel , both citizens and the vile Haaretz want the same.it’s not Macron, Starmer, or maybe Trump. It’s our Jewish traitors, also in the US and worldwide who cause us harm. They work against our interests, we need not fear the nations of the world only the Jewish turncoats.
Greedy Trump doesn’t want the PA in control – he wants to own the strip so he could make money.
Jewish lives were lost in Gaza defending the Jewish people – it belongs to the Jewish people. We saw the mistake of giving away Gush Katif – the government in Eretz Yisroel needs to learn from its mistakes.
NO WAY . PLO is just as bad !
