Lt. Col. (res.) Maurice Hirsch

Lt. Col. (res.) Maurice Hirsch, a former IDF Director of Military Prosecution for Judea and Samaria, is a leading expert on Palestinian incitement and legal strategies. He currently serves as head of legal strategies at Palestinian Media Watch and directs the Initiative for Palestinian Authority Accountability and Reform at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs. Hirsch has also advised Israel’s Ministry of Defense and chaired an advisory committee in the Ministry of Interior. A passionate advocate for Israel, he regularly provides expert analysis in the media to expose bias and misinformation.

Sadly, as the judges demonstrated with their shameful decision on South Africa’s claim against Israel, when it comes to the Jewish state, history, facts and the truth are just not relevant.
Since UNRWA has proven it cannot meet the requirements of the Appropriations Act, it would seem the U.S. is positively prohibited from transferring any additional aid to it.
Or does it simply hate Israel so much it is willing to use them as pawns and cannon fodder.
A deep and thorough change in the sentencing of terrorists is essential to make it clear, once and for all, that the leniency of Israel’s legal system toward terrorists has ended.
The Palestinians have done all they can to weaponize the court against Israel since 2015, submitting complaint after complaint and report after report.
When 87-year-old Mahmoud Abbas leaves the political scene, the “Palestinian Authority” will enter a new phase. Abbas’s legacy to the Palestinians is the destruction of the P.A. as a unified entity.
The Palestinians enjoy all the benefits of the Oslo Accords without fulfilling any of its commitments.
The Palestinian Authority dictator is now in the 19th year of his four-year term.
Imagine if a U.S. presidential advisor made such comments about black Americans.
Mahmoud Abbas is clinging to a dead letter.
While calling for the rest of the world to boycott Israel, the Palestinians sell 90% of their products to the Jewish state.
Despite gobbling billions in American aid, the Palestinian Authority sees the U.S. as the “enemy.”
