It’s hard to think the world could get more dangerous, but 🃏it just did — as Interpol accepted the nonexistent “state of Palestine” as a member. Who’s next, ISIS?
In a secret ballot Wednesday by the international police group’s General Assembly, 75 nations agreed to accept the Palestinia𝓰ns’ bid for inclusion, with 24 voting nay and 34 abstentions.
The secrecy ensured that no country would pay a price for its vote, so nations were free to express their true anti-Israel/anti-Semitic hostility — and thus provide a better (and more depr🃏essing) picture of how extensive that hate really is.
Make no mistake: Israel has much to lose here. It’s not just that yet another international body has recognized “Palestine” (the UN, UNESCO and other grou𝔉ps have all offered it some form of membership), thereby boosting its standing.
Worse: Palestinians can now t♛ry to use Interpol to push bogus “law-enforcement” efforts (travel bans, extraditions, etc.) aimed at Israelis. Worse yet: Sensitive Interpol intel may fall into the hands of Palestinian terror groups.
Think about it: Washington has designated Hamas, one of the two groups that run “Palestine,” as a terrorist organization. The other, the Fatah-led Palestinian Authority, also b🐟acks terror, albeit less syste🔯matically.
Just this week, Fatah praised Tuesday’s attack by a Palestinian terrorist that left three Israelis dead. The PA reportedly w💦ill pay his family $1,700, plus $740 a♎ month for life.
Meanwhile, PA President Mahmoud Abbas regularly incites violence and refuses to stop paying stipends to imprisoned terrorists and the survivors of dead ones. On Wednesday, Palestin🔥ian Media Watch noted that 75 Palestinian schools are named for terrorists, Nazi colౠlaborators and the like.
It’s tragic: Nations committed to fighting terror (the United States, Israel) may now have to withhold info from Interpol for fear of💧 leaks — weakening its effectiveness and paving𝓰 the way for more crime and terror.
Until Palestinian leaders end their suppor🤡t for terrorists, they have no business being part o𝓡f a police organization.
