Despite proof to the contrary, the Palestinian Authority has to gall to claim that Israel fabricates reports of stabbing attacks.

After a Palestinian terrorist recently tried to stab an Israeli Arab soldier at the Israeli checkpoint at the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron, official Palestinian Authority TV repeated the libel that Israeli soldiers place knives on the ground to fake stabbing attacks, Palestinian Media Watch reports.

PA TV made the outrageous claim notwithstanding the fact that the stabbing attack the day before was captured on video.
