(IsraelNN.com) Palestinian Media Watch reports that the themes in the October 23 article included:

• Jews start wars, including the war in Iraq, to promote Jews' power and control
• - Jews are the dominant force in United States policy
• Jews control international finance
• Jews control international media.

In the article, Muhammad Khalifa, columnist from the United Arab Emirates, argues that the US is planning to control the world from a single central government in New York. The Jews, he says, control every key element in US policy, including the stock market, the media and international finance. They have used their "custom" of starting international wars to cement this US control, according to the PA daily.

The Jews, says Khalifa, started the war in Iraq as the first step to "force the other Arab nations to voluntarily surrender to their will." But this tactic will ultimately fail, he says, leading to World War III and the end of Western culture.

The PA paper has also launched a new spate of anti-American cartoons.

In an October 20, 2006 cartoon, the US is portrayed as a menacing threat to the Arab world. America and Al Qaeda have sent the Grim Reaper, who is shown surrounded by piles of Arab skulls in Iraq, yet already searching for his next victims.



The third cartoon continues the PA's active support of Saddam Hussein and the insurgency in Iraq. It focuses on America's high losses in the past month by replacing the stars of the American flag with skulls, while Uncle Sam stares at the flag and cries.

Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, which published these hate cartoons, is under the complete control of the office of PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas. US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice praised Abbas last month: "We have great admiration for you and your leadership…You have the strong support of the US and a personal commitment from President George Bush" (AP, October 5, 2006).
