| Abbas appoints jailed Israeli Arab terrorist to Fatah Central Committee | ||
| 2017-05-30 | ||
Paleostinian Authority President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... has appointed a convicted Israeli Arab terrorist to the governing body of his Fatah party, a watchdog group said Monday.
The report came after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that his government was placing a focus on Paleostinians’ glorification of gunnies and incitement. Earlier this week, in the face of Israeli pressure, Norway withdrew funding from a Paleostinian women’s center named for a female terrorist who took part in the 1978 Coastal Road massacre. The UN also distanced itself from the center. Younes, together with his cousin Maher Younis, kidnapped and murdered IDF soldier Avraham Bromberg as he made his way from his base in the Golan Heights to his home in Zichron Yaakov on November 26, 1980. Sentenced to life in prison in early 1983, Younis, from the Arab town of ’Aara in central Israel, is now the longest-serving security prisoner in an Israeli jail. In 2012, former president Shimon Peres reduced his sentence to 40 years behind bars. Younis was a member of Fatah when he killed Bromberg. In May, the PA named two squares after the cousins in the West Bank town of Jenin, PMW said, noting that over a period of 30 days earlier this year, the Paleostinian Authority and Fatah honored 44 gunnies who killed a total of 440 people. Israel has accused the Paleostinians, including Abbas’s Fatah party, of fanning hatred on social media and calling for violence against Israelis. Paleostinian officials have generally countered the claim by arguing that harsh Israeli measures and decades of occupation, not incitement, instill hatred and inspire terrorism. Except that the hatred and terrorism predate the formation of the state of Israel. PLO Director of Prisoner’s Affairs Issa Qaraqe said that the appointment was designed to show that Paleostinian prisoners "are not gunnies and not criminals" but "freedom prisoners and fighters," PMW reported. "They are freedom prisoners and fighters who enjoy an important national, human, and legal status among their leadership and among their Paleostinian people," Qaraqe said in PA TV report cited by PMW. | ||
