PALESTINIAN MEDIA USE RACIST TERMS FOR CONDI RICE: Newspapers refer to her as ‘colored dark skinned black lady,’ ‘raven’ and ‘black spinster.’
*The Palestinians’overall hatred of the United States has been taken out on our Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
During her travels to the Middle East last week to help foster an end to the current fighting, the Fatah party of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has been using racist terms in their reports of Rice’s activities, referring to her as the "black woman," "raven," "colored dark skinned black lady" and "black spinster."
An article in the PA daily Al Hayat, according to a translation by Palestinian Media Watch, described Rice as a "raven" who "brings only destruction."
Al Hayat also featured pictures of anti-American protesters toting anti-Rice signs, some reading, "Murderer Rice go to Hell" and "Get out." One placard, according to World Net Daily, had Rice drinking the blood of dead babies and stating, "I need more blood."
A cartoon that ran last week in the PA controlled Al Quds newspaper depicted Rice pregnant with a monkey. A caption read, "Rice speaks about birth of new Middle East."
In a previous article by Al Hayat, Rice is described on three separate occassions as the "black woman," while her father, who was an ordained Presbyterian minister, was called the "black clergyman (who filled Rice's head with Bible stories)." The article warned, "Beware of this 'black spinster,' we don't want to say 'the black widow' out of respect for her femininity and her intelligence."
Palestinian Media Watch reported this week: "In addition to the offending news articles, the PA society is orchestrating demonstrations, children's activities, and hateful visual displays all personally attacking Condoleezza Rice."
Also Zyad Abu Ein, a senior Fatah official and general manager of the PA's Ministry of Prisoners, encouraged a "day of rage" in which prisoners were urged to protest a meeting between Rice and Abbas by refusing to cooperate with prison wardens.
