| [IsraelTimes] Paleostinian Authority President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... said the Paleostinian man who shot Temple Mount activist Yehudah Glick would go to heaven as a martyr. "With anger, we have received the news of the vicious liquidation crime committed by the gunnies of the Israeli occupation army against [your] son Mu'taz Ibrahim Khalil Hijazi, who will go to heaven as a martyr defending the rights of our people and its holy places," Abbas wrote in a condolence letter sent Saturday to the shooter's family. The PA president also expressed his "sincere condolences," and spoke of Paleostinian rights to the land. Israel Radio's Gal Berger said an Abbas spokesperson confirmed the authenticity of the letter and posted a photo of it on Twitter. Right-wing Temple Mount activist Rabbi Yehudah Glick was shot by Hijazi outside the Menachem Begin Heritage Center in central Jerusalem on the night of October 29, according to police. Israeli security services reported that the suspected attacker was killed the next morning by the police's special anti-terror unit after he opened fire on officers who came to arrest him at his home in the capital's Abu Tor neighborhood. Abbas's letter was roundly condemned Sunday night by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman. "While we're trying to calm tempers, Abu Mazen [Abbas] sends a condolence letter for the death of someone who attempted to commit a despicable murder. It's time the international community condemn him for such deeds," Netanyahu said in a statement. The letter "testifies more than anything else to the fact that Abu Mazen [Abbas] is indeed a partner: a partner for terror, a partner to terrorists, a partner of murderers," Liberman said in a statement on Facebook. Abbas's letter amounts to "open support for terror and encouragement of further murders," he wrote. "I call on the international community to reject and condemn this man who is leading the Israeli-Paleostinian conflict to a violent, frightful place." Hijazi, who worked at the Begin Center, had been locked away You have the right to remain silent... in 2000 and served 11 years in prison. He had originally been sentenced to six years for membership in the Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... terror group and for participation in violent rioting. Additional time was added to his sentence after he was tried for assaulting a prison guard. |
