Abbas' Advisor : Baby Killer Is "Heroic Martyr " Fatah Movement 'Accompanies Him To His Wedding'

October 26, 2014

Abbas' advisor:
Murderer of baby is "heroic Martyr"

Abbas' Fatah movement "accompanies to his wedding
the heroic Martyr... who carried out the Jerusalem operation, in which settlers in the occupied city of Jerusalem were run over"

PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas' advisor has glorified the terrorist who murdered three-month-old Israeli-American Haya Zissel-Brown and injured 8 others yesterday, when he intentionally drove his car into people waiting for a train. Sultan Abu Al-Einein, advisor to Abbas, praised the terrorist, calling him a "heroic Martyr" on his official Facebook page.

Abbas' Fatah movement likewise glorified the killer, posting an obituary for the murderer on its official Facebook page, and also using the words "heroic Martyr." Fatah portrayed his death as "his wedding" - a reference to the Islamic belief that Martyrs for Allah are wedded to 72 virgins in Paradise:

"The Palestinian National Liberation Movement (Fatah) - Silwan branch accompanies to his wedding the heroic Martyr Abd Al-Rahman Al-Shaloudi,
who carried out the Jerusalem operation, in which settlers in the occupied city of Jerusalem were run over.
Rest in peace! We are loyal to you."

Member of Fatah Central Committee, Mahmoud Al-Aloul, also copied this praise from Fatah on his personal Facebook page.

Abbas' advisor, Sultan Al-Einein, has openly praised murderers in the past. When a terrorist stabbed an Israeli civilian to death, Al-Einein praised the murderer as a "heroic fighter" and offered "blessings to the breast that nursed" him.

Five US Members of Congress acted on Palestinian Media Watch's exposure and demanded that Abbas dismiss Al-Einein and condemn his statement.

The five American legislators who demanded Abbas remove Al-Einein for glorifying murder were:
Ed Royce, Chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs,
Reps. Eliot Engel, Ranking Member of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs
Nita Lowey, Ranking Member of the Appropriations Committee,
Ted Deutch, Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on the Middle East,
Brad Sherman, Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Terrorism, Non-proliferation, and Trade.

However, Abbas chose to ignore this request.

The following is Abbas' advisor, Sultan Abu Al-Einein's recent post on Facebook glorifying the killer of the three-month-old baby:
"The heroic Martyr (Shahid) Abd Al-Rahman Idris Al-Shaloudi (23) was released from prison on Dec. 12, 2013, after serving 16 months in the occupation prisons. He was released from the Negev desert prison (Ktzi'ot Prison), and was arrested again several months later at his home in the Al-Bustan neighborhood [of East Jerusalem], which is in danger of being demolished. During his arrest, the occupation forces beat him aggressively, attacked his old grandmother and arrested his father. He spent three weeks in the jail cells of the Russian Compound [Detention Center]. The picture below [shows] the final moments before his death as a Martyr, after he was shot at point-blank range. He was murdered in cold blood."

Abbas' Fatah movement's obituary pledging loyalty to the murderer:
Image and text posted on Fatah's Facebook page, "Fatah - The Main Page":
"Abd Al-Rahman Al-Shaloudi, who died as a Martyr (Shahid) on the noble soil of Jerusalem. Rest in peace, we are loyal to you."

Text on image: "And never think of those who have been killed in the cause of Allah as dead. Rather, they are alive with their Lord, receiving provision." (Quran, Sura 3:169, translation Sahih International)

The Palestinian National Liberation Movement (Fatah) - Silwan branch accompanies to his wedding the heroic Martyr Abd Al-Rahman Al-Shaloudi,
who carried out the Jerusalem operation, in which settlers in the occupied city of Jerusalem were run over.

Rest in peace, we are loyal to you."
