Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

“Palestinians” give “Palestinian” US citizen life in prison at hard labor for selling Jerusalem home to Jews

Jan 2, 2019 4:34 pm By Robert Spencer

The depth and the virulence of this hatred is inexplicable to most mainstream analysts, and they assume that it’s because of Israel’s putative atrocities. In reality, its roots are far different. This will be the focus of my next book, Fatal Delusion: The Catastrophic History of the Israeli-Palestinian Peace Process, which will be out later this year from Bombardier Books.

“Palestinian-American sentenced to life in prison with hard labor for selling a Jerusalem home to a Jewish organisation,” Associated Press, January 1, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

A Palestinian court on has sentenced a American-Palestinian man from east Jerusalem to life in prison with hard labor for trying to sell property in the Old City to an Jewish settler group.

The court said Monday that Issam Akel, who has dual Palestinian and American citizenship, was convicted of ‘attempting to cut off Palestinian land and sell it to a foreign country.’

The ruling underscored an increasingly visible battle in the city’s eastern sector that has emerged following President Donald Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital a year ago.

Since then, Israel has been taking steps to cement its control over the contested area while the Palestinians have attempted to push back to maintain their limited foothold.

One of those steps has been trying to prevent Palestinians in east Jerusalem from selling their properties to Jews – a major taboo that the Palestinian Authority is largely powerless to prevent.

The Palestinian Authority, which is barred by Israel from conducting political activity in Jerusalem, arrested Akel in Ramallah in October. Officials say he confessed to attempting to sell property in the Old City of Jerusalem to a Jewish settler group.

Living in east Jerusalem, Akel has Israeli residency rights and is permitted under Israeli law to sell his property to whomever he wants.

But the Palestinian Authority, which claims east Jerusalem as its capital, considers land sales to Israeli Jews to be treason and even punishable by death….

      If we are giving any money to this lot, cut the rest off. I really don’t care about muslims killing and putting muslims in prison, except we may get stuck paying welfare for this idiots family. All ofhis family should move there.

    We should cut off any further aid to the PA until they release this man.

      We should go get him.

      Israel should stand back and watch.

    So did the deed actually change hands? If the pa has “no authority,” then is it not possible for Israel to get him out?

    This guy is a hostage and bargaining chip taken by the so-called “PA”. That is the way games are played by hard people, particularly by Muslims when dealing with “infidels”, in this case the US government. He will be available for some sort of trade with the US, presumably for the benefit of the “Palestinian Authority” and its corrupt leaders.

    The recent takings of what are effectively hostages (claimed to be spies) by both Russia and China in their dealings with the US have given the so-called “PA” this idea.

    The best way, short of war, to discourage hostage-taking is to not reward the hostage-takers.

    Oh well.

    Maybe Ilhan Omar might be publicly asked to comment on the case, by an actually intrepid journalist?

    The “Palestinians” will be eaten alive by their own hatred. In fact that is what is happening to them. But it’s not just hatred. It’s blindness and ignorance and brainwashing.

    We should encourage the US to tighten sanctions against all “Palestinian” entities.

    Watch on YouTube Dr David Wood’s presentation, “Who Killed Muhammad?” It examines passages in the (unholy) qur’an, sura’ 69:44-46, in four translations, & the arabic, to compare his boasts with the earliest accounts of Muh’d’s death, & his dying words. There can be no doubt “who” killed him. He confesses publicly to be a false prophet! Every muslim deserves to know this, & be set free from the bondage to falsehood & wrong.
