(Jerusalem Admin) US State Dept. Anti-Terrorism Report Focuses on Price Tagging Report calls on UN, NGOs to prosecute settlers for ruining property - but not Palestinian Muslim terrorists for trying to kill Israelis. The US State Department published inflammatory remarks about Israel and settlers on Wednesday, just days after US Secretary of State John Kerry said Israel could become an apartheid state. The 2013 anti-terrorism report investigated terror activity across the globe in 2013, and was published on its website. The Israel, West Bank, and Gaza section, however, focuses intensely on extremist Israeli settlers and subtly calls for them to be prosecuted by the UN. The report utterly ignores the PAs ongoing incitement against Israel and Jews - a fact that was mentioned to Kerry several times throughout peace talks. In January, the Israeli government released its annual Palestinian Incitement Index, which showed that incitement against Israel and the Jewish people is continuing on official media channels including - inter alia - by bodies that are very close to the PA Chairman and in educational and religious networks. Such incitement ranges from the glorification of Nazism and the lionization of Adolf Hitler, to programs on official PA television featuring heavily-stereotyped Jews as villains (and encouraging violence against them), and various TV and radio shows which literally wipe the Jewish state off the map. Israeli officials have stressed that in order to achieve peace, the PA must first stop its incitement against Israel, which includes educating young children towards hatred and terrorism. The US was well aware of this incitement, as reports surfaced in February that Congress was weighing cutting aid to the PA over the ongoing smear campaign. israelnationalnews/News/News.aspx/180119#.U2FXe_mSx8F
