“Moderate” Abbas welcomes jihad murderer released from prison as a returning hero

Apr 20, 2018 3:53 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

Many people still believe the same thing, that Abbas is a reliable “peace partner” for Israel. There is a superabundance of evidence to the contrary, but when did anyone care about evidence?

“Released Terrorist Welcomed by President Abbas, Received as Hero at West Bank,” MEMRI, April 10, 2018:

On April 10, the Palestinian Authority TV aired footage from a party held for released Fatah terrorist Rajaei Haddad, who was released from prison after serving 20 years for his involvement in the murder of Israeli citizen Gabriel Hirschberg in 1997. President Abbas held a one-hour meeting with Haddad, prior to the party. Jamal Muhaisen of the Fatah Central Committee, who participated in the party, said that “the message to the occupation is that the issue of the prisoners and of the martyrs is where we draw the line.”

Reporter: “President Abbas welcomed released prisoner [Rajaei] Haddad, Jerusalem, to emphasize that our leadership gives top priority to the issue of our prisoners. Let’s watch the welcoming ceremony….

Rajaei Haddad: “My first message, needless to say, is the [need for] national unity. I thank Allah for the help of [PM] Hamdallah’s and [Intelligence Chief Majed] Faraj. The prisoners are well, and they send their regards to everybody. I want to tell the prisoners that everybody is asking about them. The president asked me about each and every one. Let me thank the president for this meeting – he cleared his schedule so that we could meet immediately after my release. We sat together for a full hour, and he listened to me. He asked me about the prisoners, listened to me, and wrote down everything. The president sends his regards [to the prisoners]. He heard what I had to say. Everything will be alright, Allah willing.”…

    right there is why muslim nations are s**thole nations. islam is a pirate cult out for money to steal and women (and little girls, and little boys) to rape. the fact that a word such as “islamophobe” exists is sickening.

      The sickening thing is that every word you wrote is true. How can anyone honor members of a religion like that? What is their motto? “Want a piece of candy, little girl?”

    Might this be the same Abbas who financed the massacre of 11 Israeli athletes and 1 German police officer at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich? He and his people are undoubtedly very proud of his past and present “moderation”.

    It’s actually over $5 BILLION from USAID alone since the early 90’s…”and that’s only half the story”.

    Meanwhile, Mahmoud Abbas just bought a $50 million private jet.

    And the sprawling new Palestinian National Museum is empty. Maybe the archaeologists only found Jewish artifacts on the ancestral Palestinian homeland.

    But Palestinian terrorism is a booming growth industry. Financed in large part by Western useful idiots and dhimmified Leftist stooges.

    “Moderate” Abbas welcomes jihad murderer released from prison as a returning hero”
    …………………

    Sickening, but no surprise.

    Why was he released? Do not blame only Abbas for welcoming him as a “hero”: blame Israeli authorities. They should know better that he will receive such warm welcome. But, maybe, that’s their “plan” to expose Abbas as abetting terrorists…

      He served his sentence. Israel has no control over how these Muslim thugs are going to react.

    I care as much about Israel as it does about my nation. Which is about as much as the Muslims do. Neither is a friend of Europe or the West. Neither is a victim. They’re as bad as one another. Which is why there will never be any peace between them. I just don’t want them bringing their wars to our countries.

    • gravenimage says

      I see the repulsive antisemitic kouldb is at it again.

      Jews are not attacking, raping, and murdering Gentiles as Muslims are Infidels. What grotesque calumny.

      And no–Israel is not attacking Muslims–she is just defending against the Jihad against her.

    Thank you for that, Brother Barack. Glad to know you had our backs with the Religion of Peace for eight (long) years.
