This is a clip that I would characterize as both revisionist and racist, especially towards Palestinians. To be fair, a Palestinian clip with the same kind of content would also be just as racist. (I also posted an OP about it

I choose Caroline Glick as an example of racists in the Jerusalem Post - She hates Obama as much as she hates the Palestinians. Just imagine the following excerpt if it was about Jews - about how much Jews just want to kill Palestinians...

Our World: Ending the Palestinian exception

As far as Abbas and the Palestinians are concerned, their refusal to view mass murderers as criminals tells us a great deal about who they are and what they want.

The Palestinian national movement they have come to embody was never about a deep-seated desire for national liberation. It was never about building “Palestine.”

From the time it was created by Amin el-Husseini in 1920, Palestinian identity has been about the negation of the Jewish national liberation movement – Zionism. And since Israel achieved independence in 1948, the Palestinians have defined themselves by their collective dedication to annihilating the Jewish state – hence their support for terrorists who kill Jews.

Husseini’s heir Yasser Arafat shared his view that terrorism was a both strategic goal in and of itself and a means to achieve the ultimate end of the Palestinian movement – that is, the violent eradication of Israel.

I was going to add Daniel Pipes as a racist contributor to the Jerusalem Post, but to my surprise, he doesn't seem to write for them anymore. Anyway, I'll use Glick as an example of what I consider the promotion of racist sentiments towards Arabs in the Jerusalem Post, and the clip from the MFA as another example of the same, but in the Israeli government.

What do you think - do we differ on whether these two examples constitutes the promotion of racism?
