Abbas holds presidential reception for family of jihad murderer, lauds him as “hero”

Oct 16, 2016 6:12 pm By Robert Spencer

“Of course, Israel cannot be expected to negotiate with anyone who is dedicated to its destruction. But while I know you have had differences with the Palestinian Authority, I believe that you do have a true partner in President Abbas…” — Barack Obama, March 21, 2013

“Palestinian Authority’s Abbas Holds Presidential Reception for Family of Terrorist Who Murdered Israeli Merchant in 2003; Lauds Killer as ‘Hero,’” by Ruthie Blum, Algemeiner, October 16, 2016:

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas held an official reception at his headquarters in Ramallah on Saturday for the family of a terrorist who died last month of a heart attack, the Hebrew news site nrg reported on Sunday.

According to the report, Abbas warmly embraced the immediate family members of Yasser Hamdouni, who murdered an Israeli 13 years ago and was serving a life sentence in the Rimon Prison. “Your son was a hero,” Abbas said. “The blood of the martyrs and victims was not spilled in vain. They will be part of our path to an independent state whose capital is east Jerusalem.”

Hamdouni, who passed away after attempts to revive him at the Soroka Medical Center in Be’er Sheva failed, was one of two terrorists who shot and killed 51-year-old Netanya resident Avner Maimon while he was buying charcoal in the Palestinian village of Yabed in June of 2003.

As Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported at the time, though under security jurisdiction of the Jewish state, Yabed is controlled by the Palestinian Authority, and Maimon had ignored an IDF ban on Israeli travel there.

The Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, affiliated with Abbas’ Fatah party — at the time headed by the late PLO chief Yasser Arafat — claimed responsibility for the attack….

“The prisoner movement is continuing the national Palestinian project,” Abbas declared. “The Palestinian leadership is acting to end the suffering of the prisoners in the jails of the occupation.”

Hamdouni’s family welcomed Abbas’ words and said that their “son gave up his life for the liberation of Palestine and independence.”…

    Ever wonder why The US government and western weenie countries around the world want to take Jesus and The Holy Bible out of the public square and replace it with Islam as the “religion of peace” when it is anything but…they work for satan. Not hard to understand if you know your Holy Bible.

      So true. Abbas is very short sighted.

        My friend that would be Jesus and according to all Born Again Believers, I am reading, their Holy Ghost is saying the same as mine. We fly soon !
        1 Thessalonians 4
        16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

        17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

        I am so excited!

        18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

          Sorry, Lucienne,
          I liked your first comment, but your vanity and Song & Dance routine is hardly new.

          Sinful minds pervert the Word of God for their own selfish and abusive ends.

    “Partner”, a perfectly nice word so co-opted by sleazy politicians it makes me ill to hear it, like “comprehensive”, and “investment”.

    Note how generous Mr. Obama is; he understands it might be slightly nauseating to ‘partner’ with people who want to kill you. Yet to the immense credit of the Israelis they continue in forbearance and seek peace, while Mr. Abbas honors the killer of a man whose crime was to be Israeli.

    Dear Mr. Obama, we really don’t need any more help from you. Please finish your term and leave. The Middle East is In shambles thanks to you, Hillary, Kerry, and a few other geniuses.

      Karen, At the risk of offending you, can I point you to a Jewish Gal that might have the answers you seek?

    I know I’m a little off-topic here, but didn’t know where else to post the following…

    An Indian friend of mine sent me this video of a Hindu street festival in Russia:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qRfnEWenrw

    Compare that to a Muslim “festival” in the streets of France:

    Pretty much says it all.

    One man with lots of blood on his hands handshaking with another man with lots of blood on his hands . Big smiles between them . I’m missing one person in this picture , his name : ‘pope Francis’ . And the kissing of course .

    • Karen says

      Oct 17, 2016 at 8:19 am

      Yes, the man who so serenely tolerates Islam’s intolerance, because of his great, one-sided compassion.

        Right Karen . Loving your enemy doesn’t mean delivering yourself to your enemy so he/she can kill you .

    But, he’s not biased against Israel.

    How many times must it be said?
    Barry Obama, the Muslim from Indonesia, who more likely then not WAS NEVER born on U.S. soil, is a TRAITOR.
    He has done more to undermine this Nation, in just a few years, then any other TRAITOR in history.
    Why he is not in a FEDERAL PRISON right now, with his best pals THE CLINTON’S, is beyond comprehension.

    The musie brothal is very clever….they say, they don’t exist, they say, they are tolerant and isis has nothing to to with terrorism, and the enormous amounts of money, that this group and it’s famous member, sent to Iran was for a treaty, of the leaders who chant death to America,. Now they can get fatally dangerous. So they are clever to hide under a black umbrella that shames those who questions inconsistencies and will call the curious slanderous. Many know the truth based on facts of sharia laws that really spawned terror such as isil. isis, or ” whatever…..” then smile how clever they are to pull this plan off and undermine the kafir.
