“In all countries of the world, you pay taxes for the services that the state provides you, except for us. In return, there are no hospitals, no education, no electricity, no water, no public utilities, not even rodent control,” wrote Khalil Talmas, a Gaza Strip resident, on July 27 this year.

Talmas was not complaining about the Israelis. Instead, he was talking about his own government, the Iran-controlled Palestinian Authority that has run Gaza and parts of the West Bank since 2007.

It turns out the PA is not just attacking Israelis; they are abusing their own people as well. Desperate and starving, some Palestinians have taken to sacrificing their lives in fiery public demonstrations hoping to force international media attention on their insufferable situation.

Thankfully, the world is awakening to the horrors that await Israel and all the Middle East if Iran’s proxy Hamas is given half of Jerusalem and their own Palestinian nation-state as Joe Biden desires.

Hamas seized control of the Gaza Strip about 15 years ago. Residents now say they regret voting for Hamas in the 2006 Palestinian parliamentary elections. One year later, Hamas went on a killing campaign, butchering political rivals to ensure complete control of Gaza. Palestinian residents in the region have been starving ever since.

Don’t let Joe Biden give ANY of Israel to the Iran-backed Palestinian Authority!

“So the [Hamas] leaders' families, their children, grandchildren do not believe in their own [political and military] project, and although they can live in Gaza in the utmost luxury, they choose to leave it for the hotels and villas of Doha and Istanbul. They left the hungry people of Gaza to live in poverty, deprivation and hunger," wrote Gaza Strip resident Mohammed Nashwan on July 21 of this year.

The situation grows more desperate every day. Here’s an example . . .

Rent had not been paid in seven months on the house 25-year-old Husni Abu Arabiya shared with his pregnant wife, his elderly parents and his young siblings. There was no work and no food. The family was starving and about to be homeless.

At the end of July, Husni walked into the street, poured gasoline over his body and set himself aflame, killing himself in the blaze. Sadly, Husni was not alone in his desperation.

Public suicide by fire is becoming increasingly common in PA-controlled areas. In fact, there were two more public suicides by fire the same day. Each of the suicides was in protest of the abject poverty, starvation and abuse suffered, not at the hands of Israelis, but by the leaders of the Palestinian Authority.

Yet somehow, Joe Biden STILL thinks giving half of Jerusalem to Hamas and the corrupt Palestinian Authority is a good idea!

As we have said before, the scheme to destroy Israel begins with Biden’s planned “Palestinian Consulate,” which will eventually divide Jerusalem, as well as lead to his delusional and destructive “two-state solution.”

We CANNOT allow Joe Biden to slice the Holy Land, leaving its people to the callous and violent whims of an Iranian proxy starving its own people even as it kills Jews.
