Posting a picture of the graves of the two terrorists who murdered 5 Israelis in a synagogue in West Jerusalem last month, Abbas' Fatah movement glorified them with the supreme Islamic status of Shahids - "Martyrs... who ascended Fatah called the terror attack "an operation at an occupation synagogue in occupied Jerusalem." On Nov. 18, 2014, the two Arab terrorists from East Jerusalem entered a synagogue in Jerusalem and attacked worshippers with guns, knives and axes, killing 4 worshippers and a police officer. 7 people were injured, 3 of them seriously. The terrorists were killed in an exchange of fire with Israeli police that arrived on the scene. The Palestinian Authority's official news agency WAFA likewise honored the murderers with the supreme Islamic status of "Shahids" who were "escorted... to the place of their final rest": Earlier this month, Palestinian Media Watch reported that the PA Mufti likewise called them Shahids, when he demanded that Israel return the bodies of the killers because "it is the Shahids' right for us to pray for them, and this is a right according to Shari'ah. Their relatives, friends and loved ones also have the right to see them one last time." [The Capital City, bi-weekly distributed with Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, Dec. 2, 2014] Palestinian Media Watch also showed that Abbas' condemnation of the synagogue massacre was later explained away by Fatah officials as a condemnation for diplomatic reasons only. When Abbas later condemned the hostage taking in Australia by an ISIS affiliate and the subsequent killing of two of the hostages, PMW compared the two condemnations, showing Abbas' condemnation of the synagogue killings to be insincere. |
