When authoritiarians crystallize the difference between democracies and dictatorships.

As for Israel as a whole, Shtayyeh accused Israel of using Palestinian workers in Israel as a biological weapon against the Palestinians as a whole.

In the spirit of cooperation with the PA, and in the hope of preventing mass infection among Palestinians, Israel took the unprecedented - and risky - step of permitting PA security forces to operate in Arab villages in Jerusalem and in Palestinian villages in Area C despite the fact in accordance with the bilateral agreements between Israel and the Palestinians, Israel has sole security authority in those areas.

Over the past several weeks, Palestinian Media Watch, an Israeli NGO which monitors the PA's media outlets has published multiple reports of harsh, anti-Semitic incitement in official PA media and social media outlets.

The Facebook page of the PLO's Commission on Prisoners Affairs ran a special video clip to mark "Palestinian Children's Day," earlier in the month accusing Israel of infecting Palestinian minors in Israeli detention centers.

The PA's official television network regularly hosts PA spokesmen who accuse Israeli civilians in Judea and Samaria of deliberately infecting Palestinians with the virus by spitting on them and touching ATM machines in Palestinian villages.

Shtayyeh has barred Palestinians from working in Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria and so has doomed tens of thousands of Palestinian families to destitution.

As for Hamas, like its PLO counterpart, the Hamas regime in Gaza has run a similarly poisonous stream of anti-Semitic incitement against Israel, claiming that the Jews are waging biological warfare against the Palestinians.
