Fatah chief and PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas's PA television has been repeatedly broadcasting a hate-filled music video calling for the ethnic cleansing of the Jewish people from Israel.

"My enemy, oh snake! Around the land, you are coiled. You have no choice, oh enemy, but to leave my country," is the refrain in the video, which has been broadcast on a daily basis for the past several months, according to Palestinian Media Watch (PMW).

"The song's refrain, 'My enemy, oh enemy,' is repeated over and over throughout the song. Israel is not even given the courtesy of a name, but is tagged with such labels as 'treacherous,' 'imperialism' and a 'coiled snake,'" PMW Director Itamar Marcus points out. "The Palestinian is portrayed as a heroic victim who courageously confronts the evil 'enemy' Israel."

The song incites Arabs living under Fatah's rule in Judea and Samaria to fight to the death to rid the land of Jews, assuring them that, through this, they will ultimately prevail: "You have no choice, oh enemy, but to leave my country," it says.

"The goal of this music video clip is to inculcate loathing of Israel and anticipation of its destruction," Marcus explains. "The repeated broadcast over recent months by Fatah-controlled television is consistent with other Arabic-language hate messages currently being disseminated - in spite of the peace talks."

PA TV first aired the music video in 2004 and resumed its broadcast in October, 2007. It was broadcast throughout the Annapolis conference as well as during US President George W. Bush's visit to Israel, PMW reports. It continues to be aired on almost a daily basis.

The following is the text of the hate video:

"My enemy. Oh, my enemy.
Stop your crimes.
Treaty breaker! Treacherous!...
If you pull out my eyes,
My heart will see. (x2)
If you cut off my hands,
My chest is knives and swords.
My enemy! Oh imperialism!
This homeland is ours. (x2)
This land will be tilled
only by our hoes. (x2)
Whenever the tension rises,
Whenever this land weeps, (x2)
the flower will return
to grow in our house.
My enemy. Oh, my enemy.
Stop your crimes.
Treaty breaker! Treacherous!...
My enemy! Oh snake!
Around the land, you are coiled. (x2)
We, noble, courageous,
on the day of ruin [battle], shall stand.
You have no choice, Oh enemy,
but to leave my country.
And my children will return.

More than three attacks on Jews in the Jerusalem region took place over the weekend. Among them, a Border Police officer was stabbed and a yeshiva student assaulted by Arabs.

The Border Police officer was riding in the passenger seat of a patrol jeep, guarding the Atarot Industrial Zone in northern Jerusalem, when he confronted a suspicious Arab man approaching the security fence. He asked the man for his identity papers, but the man instead pulled out a knife, opened the door of the officer’s jeep and stabbed him in the neck and back.

The Arab man then tried to stab a female Border Police officer who was in the back of the jeep and a scuffle ensued. The driver managed to shoot the attacker in the leg and prevent any further injuries. The terrorist and the officer were both treated at Hadassah Ein Karem Hospital.

Saturday night, four member of a Jewish family were wounded by Arabs who threw rocks at their car near the town of Beit Oumar, along the Jerusalem-Hevron Highway.

The terrorists killed while carrying out the Thursday evening attack on Yeshivat Mekor Chayim in Kfar Etzion were both from Beit Oumar. They had been recently released from prison after serving time for membership in a terrorist group and trying to steal guns from an army base.

In another attack Thursday night, two Border Police officers were shot near the northern entrance of the Shuafat neighborhood of Jerusalem by Fatah terrorists. One, Cpl. Rami Zoari, was killed and the other, Shoshana Samandoyev, remains hospitalized. Zoari was laid to rest at the IDF cemetery in Be’er Sheva

On Friday, Hatzolah Israel reported that three Arabs in a car attacked a teenage yeshiva student in Jerusalem’s Sanhedria neighborhood. The Arab stopped their car near the student and jumped out, bludgeoned him in the head and fled. He was transported to the hospital for treatment and is in stable condition.

Border Police guarding the Tomb of the Patriarchs in Hevron Saturday caught an Arab man planning to carry out a knife attack. They confiscated the weapon and arrested the man.

Israel's Cabinet, in its weekly Sunday meeting, discussed anti-Semitism around the world. This, in honor of "International Day of Commemoration in Memory of the Victims of the Holocaust," which the United Nations has set for today.

The UN resolution setting January 27 as the date for international remembrance of the Holocaust was passed in November 2005, more than 60 years after the end of World War II.

Israel's Cabinet, in its weekly Sunday morning meeting, will discuss anti-Semitism in the world. Minister Yitzchak Herzog and Jewish Agency Chairman Ze'ev Bielsy will present a government report showing an increase in anti-Semitic incidents in the United States, Germany, Ukraine, and Australia; Great Britain and France continue to lead in anti-Semitic incidents.

The UN-designated day commemorates the six million Jews and countless other victims murdered in the Nazi Holocaust during World War II.  The chosen date, Jan. 27, is the anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration/extermination camp by Allied Russian forces in 1945.

The central ceremony will be held at Auschwitz itself, with the participation of a delegation of Israeli MKs.  Knesset Members Nissim Ze'ev, Stas Misezhnikov, Yoram Marciano, Nissan Slomiansky, Collete Avital, and Meir Porush will take part, together with 30 European Parliament Members.  The MKs are also scheduled to meet with representatives of the Jewish community in Cracow and with the Chief Rabbi of Poland.

On Friday, a ceremony was held in Israel in the Masuah Holocaust Studies Center, with the participation of 60 foreign ambassadors.  Holocaust survivor Rabbi Yisrael Meir Lau, Tel Aviv's Chief Rabbi, read aloud a chilling selection of passages from Hitler's will.

At Yad Vashem
In honor of January 27, the Yad Vashem Holocaust Martyrs' and Heroes' Remembrance Authority is initiating an International Youth Congress.  The conference will gather youth leaders from across the globe to meet, converse and make the voice of their generation heard on the subject of shaping Holocaust remembrance and its significance for the future.  The three-day congress at Yad Vashem will deal with the challenges of preserving the memory of the Holocaust in the 21st century, and students will visit the new historical museum at Yad Vashem, meet with Holocaust survivors, and discuss major historical, ethical, educational, and philosophical issues with leading scholars. In addition, the students will explore the multi-cultural city of Jerusalem.

The seminar is planned to conclude with the students drafting a declaration that will strengthen their commitment to Holocaust remembrance, with implications for future generations.  Yad Vashem hopes to hold annual events of this nature.

PFLP founder George Habash died at age 83 in his home in Amman. His terror gang massacred dozens of Israeli adults, children and babies, assassinated Minister Ze'evi and plotted to kill Rabbi Ovadya Yosef.

PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas announced three days of mourning following the death of George Habash, the founder of terror gang PFLP. All PLO flags will be at half mast and there will be an official "house of mourning" in Abba's Ramallah office.

History of murder
The PFLP was founded in 1967, several months after the Israeli victory in the Six Day War. In 1968, PFLP terrorists hijacked an El Al plane that was en route from Rome to Tel Aviv. Its passengers were held hostage for 39 days before being released. This was the first time an El Al plane was hijacked. One month later, the PFLP attacked another El Al jet on the ground at Athens airport. One passenger was killed.

These are some of the PFLP's crimes in 40 years of existence:

• 1970, the PFLP blew up a Swissair flight to Israel in midair. 47 people died, including 15 Israelis.
• 1972, Japanese terrorists trained by the PFLP murdered 24 people, including 16 pilgrims from Puerto Rico, at Lod airport.

• 1976, PFLP terrorists cooperated with German terrorists and hijacked an Air France jet to Entebbe, Uganda. The hostages were freed by Israel in a daring raid.
• 1980, PFLP terrorists took over the children's room at Misgav Am in northern Israel, and murdered a baby, as well as the kibbutz's director.
• 2000, Habash retired from active leadership of the PFLP, for health reasons.
• 2001, a PFLP squad assassinated Israeli Minister Rechavam Ze'evi.
• The PFLP carried out three suicide bombings between 2002 and 2004, at Karnei Shomron (3 murdered) at Geha Intersection (3 murdered) and at Shuk HaCarmel in Tel Aviv (3 murdered).

In April 2005, the Shabak (General Security Service) told the press that it had successfully uncovered a plot by a PFLP cell to murder Shas spiritual leader Rabbi Ovadya Yosef.

Defense Minister Ehud Barak sounded an alarming note in a weekend interview with the Washington Post, and made it clear he did not agree with the recent U.S. National Intelligence Estimate, according to which Iran has halted its nuclear weapons program.

Asked about the NIE, Barak said: "Our interpretation is that clearly the Iranians are aiming at nuclear capability. It's probably true that . . .  they may have slowed down the weapons group in 2003, because it was the height of American militarism. . .   We think that they are quite advanced, much beyond the level of the Manhattan Project.

The Manhattan Project was the effort to develop the first nuclear weapon during World War II by the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada. The project succeeded in developing and testing the world's first atomic bomb, and detonated two nuclear weapons in August 1945: an enriched uranium bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, and a plutonium bomb that detonated over Nagasaki, Japan. Barak's statement regarding "American militarism" in 2003 was a reference to the invasion of Iraq.

The dots lead to a nuclear program
Barak said Israel suspects the Iranians "are probably already working on warheads for ground-to-ground missiles
The Iranians "are probably already working on warheads for ground-to-ground missiles."
. . . [and] that probably they have another clandestine enrichment operation beyond the one in Natanz."

Asked to elaborate on this last statement, Barak answered: "The dots that we see . . . cannot be easily connected in a way that does not lead to a nuclear program. . .  The leading intelligence communities should concentrate on finding whether there is . . . a clandestine enrichment operation and a weapons group working on the weapons technology.

Barak told the Post that it was clear that the NIE had "reduced the enthusiasm" for military action against Iran, and even for tougher sanctions. "Basically, in strategic terms," he explained, "we face a triad of challenges: one, radical Muslim terror; two, nuclear proliferation; and [three] rogue states. To deal with such threats . . . we need a much deeper and more intimate cooperation between the United States, the E.U., Russia and China. And this needs a paradigm shift in the way we approach China and Russia."

Asked if Israel has the ability to conduct a military raid on Iran by itself, Barak said; "I am not going to talk about this."

Iranian: Israel threatens us
Meanwhile, Iran's Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki gave a rare, if short, interview, to Voice of
"Iran is not threatening Israel and does not want nuclear weapons."
Israel national radio, in the course of the World Economic Forum at Davos, Switzerland. "Iran is not threatening Israel and does not want nuclear weapons."

Mottaki said that it was Israel that possessed nuclear weapons and "it is threatening Teheran." He added that there were two countries Iran did not recognize: apartheid-era South Africa and Israel. "In the case of South Africa, the problem was solved with the end of apartheid and if the situation also changes in the other case [Israel], there is no reason why relations with that country cannot change too," he added.
