Related: About this forumNewsweek: Palestinian Incitement: Hate-Speech That Kills
Palestinian incitement and hate-speech, especially the condoning of the cold-blooded murder of Jews, has at the time of writing been linked to the murder of 30 Israelis over the last four months.
On January 17, one of these 30 victims, 39-year-old mother of six Daphna Meir, was stabbed to death in her home, in front of her children, by a Palestinian youth from a nearby village. While in custody, the youth admitted to having committed the murder after being influenced by official Palestinian television programming that vilified Israel and glorified acts of violence.
Not limited only to suggestive themes and implicit condoning of terrorism, officially affiliated Palestinian media have repeatedly issued explicit calls to murder Jews. As a case in point, on January 4, two weeks before the murder of Daphna Meir, a Fatah-run television channel broadcast a music video calling on Palestinians to drown them [the Jews] in a sea of blood and to kill them as you wish. The chairman of Fatahs Central Committee is none other than Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas.
Understandably embarrassed by the increasingly obvious connection between Palestinian hate-speech and acts of Palestinian terror, some Palestinians and Palestinian sympathizers have come up with a tactic for deflecting criticism: flip the coin on its head by denying the acts of terror and by accusing the victim, Israel, of incitement.

After a long and strenuous saga of negotiations and delays, Israel's new government was finally sworn in on Thursday, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in charge of several ministries - including the Foreign Ministry.
But in the absence of a dedicated, full-time foreign minister (at least until Zionist Union's Isaac Herzog joins the coalition, as some analysts predict), it will fall to Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely (Likud) to handle what promises to be an "interesting" term: Continued efforts by the Palestinians to internationalize the conflict, including charging Israel in the International Criminal Court, an ongoing drive to boycott Israel and the settlements, and an increasingly tense relationship with the United States.
Hotovely's stances may put her on a collision course with the international community: A hardliner with regards to the Palestinians, Hotovely opposes the two-state solution and is in favor of annexing the West Bank (which she terms Judea and Samaria, using the biblical names for the region).
Hotovely believes that after annexation Israel could initiate a gradual process of granting Israeli citizenship to the Palestinians.
The international community may also find Hotovely's stance on intermarriage hard to swallow: In her capacity as chairwoman of the Status of Women Committee in the Knesset in 2011, she invited the racist group Lehava to explain how they prevent romantic contacts between Jews and Arabs. Responding to criticism, Hotovely said it was "important to examine procedures for preventing mixed marriages, and Lehava members are the right people for that," Walla reported.

In this case, when the author of the OP is a racist, it's appropriate to kill the messenger. It seems as if Newsweek is actually trying to present a variety of perspectives on the I/P issue, so I have no problem with what Newsweek is doing, I just think it's worth pointing out that the author of the OP is a racist.
