7. Am I a 'Disgusting Racist' for Calling Palestinians Evil When They Sanctify Death and Jew Hatred?

Bradley Burston's smear tactics were an attempt to deflect from the reality that I described: the culture of death that saturates Palestinian life today.

In a column provocatively titled “Racism-as-Zionism. Don't Call It 'pro-Israel.' Call It What It Is: Disgusting,” Haaretz senior editor Bradley Burston accuses me of being a revolting racist.

Burston bases his vulgar claim on a quote from a paragraph in my recent op-ed in which I stated, “There is irrefutable evidence of the barbaric and genocidal nature of Palestinian society. Indeed, the reality is that despite maintaining a ‘moderate’ stance to the outside world, internally the Palestinians and ISIS are birds of a feather — although the Palestinians are probably more corrupt.”
I also pointed out that while Arab hostility to Jews prevailed even during the period of the British Mandate, it was not comparable to the culture of death and evil which saturates dominant aspects of Palestinian life today.

Let us review the bare facts:

The Palestinian leaders have stated explicitly that their state would be Judenrein and that Jews would never be permitted to live in their ancestral home, even if they were willing to accept Palestinian jurisdiction Those deemed to have sold land to a Jew are brutally executed. Surely such behavior must be considered racist.
