“It’s official. It’s a Palestinian “value” to murder Israeli men on their way to prayer,” by Itamar Marcus, Palestinian Media Watch, December 19, 2019:
Two Israelis, Rabbi Nehemiah Lavi and Aharon Bennett, were stabbed to death in October 2015 by 19-year-old Palestinian terrorist Muhannad Halabi. The terrorist attacked the Bennett family on their way to pray at the Western Wall in Jerusalem. Halabi murdered the father and another man, and also stabbed and seriously wounded Bennett’s wife, Adele and their 2-year-old son.
In the eyes of senior Fatah official Abbas Zaki, murderer Muhannad Halabi was following Palestinian “values,” when he only killed the father and “spared” the mother and the son. Zaki’s claim is false on two accounts.
1. PA ideology does not limit its support for murder to Israeli/Jewish men but supports murder of women and children as well.
2. Murderer Halabi did in fact try to murder the mother and the son, however they miraculously survived with stab wounds.Although the PA’s policy of promoting and rewarding the murder of Israeli men, women, and children has been documented thousands of times by Palestinian Media Watch, it is unusual for a senior Palestinian leader to admit in front of cameras that murdering a rabbi is a Palestinian “value” because the murderer did not also kill his wife and infant child: “We don’t kill people as we please. There are values, customs.”
The following are Zaki’s words and lies:
Fatah Central Committee member Abbas Zaki: “When the children of Palestine felt a while ago that the [PA] leadership didn’t know what to do… Muhannad Halabi went out with a knife… He succeeded in infiltrating Jerusalem and killed a rabbi [Nehemiah Lavi]… When he saw… a small child – a woman and her son – he did not kill him (sic., he stabbed and injured both). This is from Almighty Allah. For we don’t kill people as we please. There are values, customs.”

How many lies can Zaki make in one sentence?
First lie: Murdering Men, Women, and children is supported by the PA:
Zaki claims the PA values support murdering only men, but not the murder of women and children. This is a lie. The PA rewards and honors all Palestinian terrorists. The PA pays high monthly salaries to all terrorist prisoners including murderers of women and children. The Awad cousins murdered Ruth and Ehud Fogel and their 3 children; Yoav aged 11, Elad aged 4, and Hadas aged 3 months and the terrorists have already received 548,800 shekels ($156,337) in PA salary following their arrest.Reconfirming the PA’s support for those child murderers, Abbas’ official PA TV chose to interview the mother and aunt of these murderers, and one of the child killers was glorified as “the hero, the legend.” [Official PA TV Jan. 19 and 21, 2012]
Dalal Mughrabi led the murder of 37 Israelis, including 12 children, some aged 2, 3, 5 and 6, and the PA has named 6 schools, numerous sporting events, and cultural centers for children after her.
The families of all Palestinian suicide bombers – who have murdered hundreds of women and children – all receive high monthly PA allowances for life, because their relatives were killed and died as “Martyrs” while murdering Jews.
Conclusion: The PA absolutely values murdering Israeli women and children, along with murdering men….
