Palestinian Authority News Praises Killers of 3 Israeli Teens as “Martyrs”

Prime Minister Netanyahu took to the UN to make the case that ISIS and Hamas have a lot in common. That’s true, but he might have put his time to better use making the case that the PLO and Hamas have a whole lot in common.

Don’t take my word for it. Take President Abbas’ word for it.

Around the time that Obama visited him, Abbas gave an interview to Putin’s RT in which he claimed that he was just like Hamas.

“As far as I am concerned, there is no difference between our policies and those of Hamas. So why are they labeled as terrorists?”

Good question.

While we pretend to make a distinction between both groups, one of the triggers of the recent conflict was Abbas’ sabotage of negotiations by forming a unity government with Hamas.

The PLO uses foreign aid to pay salaries to Hamas terrorists in prison and out of prisons. It views all terrorists who died killing Jews as “martyrs”.

So this latest outburst shouldn’t surprise anyone.

In June 2014, Hamas terrorists kidnapped and murdered three Israeli teenagers: Eyal Yifrach, 19, Gilad Shaar, 16, and Naftali Frenkel, 16. One of the boys managed to call the police from the car immediately following the kidnapping. In the police recording of the phone call, shots are heard followed by the murderers, Marwan Al-Qawasmi and Amer Abu Aisheh, laughing and celebrating.

Last week, Israel discovered the hiding place of the murderers, and when Israel attempted an arrest, the terrorists opened fire and eventually were killed in the ensuing exchange of fire.

The official PA news agency WAFA is calling Israel’s attempt to apprehend the terrorists and their eventual killing an “execution,” while the terrorists themselves are being honored by the PA as “Martyrs” (Shahids) – a term indicating they are receiving sublime rewards from Allah.

“Israeli occupation forces executed citizens Marwan Al-Qawasmi and Amer Abu Aisheh today, Tuesday, in the early hours of the morning in a military operation in central Hebron… Security sources told WAFA that the occupation forces were still holding on to the bodies of the two Martyrs (Shahids).”

[WAFA (the official Palestinian Authority news agency), Sept. 23, 2014]

The PA Minister of Religious Affairs Yusuf Ida’is also called the murderers “Martyrs” who were “assassinated” by Israel:

“[PA] Minister of Religious Affairs Yusuf Ida’is denounced the heinous ‘Israeli’ crime committed by the occupation forces in Hebron when they assassinated several of our people this morning. [The crime] took the lives of Martyrs (Shahids) Marwan Al-Qawasmi and Amer Abu Aisheh.”

[Ma'an, independent Palestinian news agency, Sept. 23, 2014]

There are other similar Palestinian Authority quotes at the Palestinian Media Watch article linked.

It’s impossible to negotiate with Hamas. But it’s also impossible to negotiate with the PLO. Both are genocidal Islamic terrorist groups. The futility of two decades of concessions to the PLO has established that much. The Two State Solution is dead in any sense except the unilateral one in which it already exists.

Terrorists are terrorists. You can’t negotiate with them.

Palestinians Continue Peace Talks In Mecca

  • Gee

    Yes the PLO and Hamas, and Islamic Jihad, PFLP, etc. are all the same. They should be treated alike as well. Kill them all – just like the Nazis

  • wileyvet

    Just one more example of the sickness that permeates Arab and “Palestinian” culture. Instead of building, they destroy. Rather than enjoying life they celebrate death. You can dress these pigs up in suits, but they are still the same ignoramuses as their Bedouin ancestors. Tribal and primitive through and through. A people so full of hate and ugliness deserve the wretchedness they have created. And men so full of evil designs need to join the likes of Sheik Yasin and Rantisi.

    Arnold Roth who lost his daughter in the Sbarros massacre couldn’t even find one Palestinian who could condemn Fatah and Hamas for celebrating the Homicide bomber for slaughtering 15 Israeli civilians including 7 children eating pizza.

      That would be blasphemy and blasphemy in Islam is a capital offense.

    Caroline Glick truly describes the Islamo Nazis the Terrorstinians are.
    Fatah glorifies Kibbutz Metzer massacre of Israeli mother and her 2 small sons.

    It should be pointed out, the Jewish leaders on the left at Kibbutz Metzer in 2002 opposed Israel building a fence. The Jewish leaders at Kibbutz Metzer thought the Palestinians have humanity.
    Unfortunately they found out the savages Fatah are.

    To quote Caroline Glick from May

    Our world: Pope Francis’s unfriendly visit
    By CAROLINE B. GLICK
    05/27/2014

    As the former Cardinal of Buenos Aires, Francis may have heard of the November 2002 massacre at Kibbutz Metzer. Metzer was founded by Argentine communists in the 1950s. Metzer is located 500 meters from the 1949 armistice lines which made it an obvious beneficiary of the security fence. But true to its radical roots, in 2002 members of the kibbutz waged a public campaign against the planned route of the security fence. They feared that it would, in the words of Metzer member Danny Dovrat, “ignite hostility and create problems” with the kibbutz’s Palestinian neighbors.

    Thanks to that concern, on the night of November 10, 2002, a gunman from the “moderate” US- and EU-supported Fatah terror organization faced no physical obstacle when he entered the kibbutz. Once there he killed two people on the street and then entered the home of Revital Ohayon and executed Revital and her two sons, Matan, 5, and Noam, 4 years old.

    Fatah praised the attack on its website and pledged to conduct more assaults on “Zionist colonizers,” and promised to continue “targeting their children as well.”

    Had he actually cared about the cause of peace and non-violence he claims to champion, Francis might have averred from stopping at the barrier, recognizing that doing so would defile the memory of the Ohayons and of hundreds of other Israeli Jewish families who were destroyed by Palestinian bloodlust and anti-Semitic depravity.

      The corrupt, wicked world sends money to these savages? God Bless Israel!

  • herb benty

    The Fogels………then passing out candies. I saw it for myself. No respect for Islam, no quarter, extermination is the answer . Islam is WORSE than ebola. A blood, death cult, in the spirit of the Egyptian moon-god, ISIS. Together with a Baal/Molech human sacrifice….civilization is at war with 6th C. paganism.

  • Biff Henderson

    It’s a known that the greatest blessing Allah can bestow on a Mohammedanian is death at the hand of an infidel on the Path of Allah. The PLO should be praising the instruments of Allah’s will for their role in sending the Shahid to the Heavenly Humpfest. Flippin’ ingrates…

    Palestinian Authority News Praises Killers of 3 Israeli Teens as “Martyrs”

    Why wouldn’t they? The killers weren’t some outcast from mainstream Palestinian society, i.e., radicals and extremists that resorted to terrorism. Instead they were jihadists who targeted defenseless infidels because they offer the path of least resistance.

    In other words, they are heroes of the jihad that ALL MUSLIMS are waging in the cause of Allah against ALL INFIDELS to ultimately make Islam and its followers supreme throughout the world, and in that regard they were heroes who died for the cause and will now receive their just rewards in Allah’s version of carnal paradise.

    This shouldn’t come as earth shattering news for anyone who is halfway paying attention.

  • Bamaguje

    PA and Hamas… Good cop, bad cop.
    Sorry… good Jihadis, bad Jihadis

  • Pete

    Hamas is bad. The Palestinian Authority is bad.

    But somewhere there are groups of people sufficient in strength in number to be good Peace partners according to posters like Americana.

    Except somehow on the last 20 years, one generation, those supposedly peaceful groups never come to the fore int terms of popular, political or military power.

    • Bamaguje

      Americana is completely deluded about the Arab-Israeli conflict.
      She epitomizes what is wrong about the popular mis-characterization of the conflict
