Moderate Peace-Loving Abbas Happily Celebrates With Killers of Jews

The purported leader of a state that the whole world wants to create happily greets the killers of Jews. That’s not news anymore. What is amazing is that no western leader finds these images to be disgusting.

No academic notes the hypocrisy of a “peace partner” welcoming, in person, murderers and terrorists. No mainstream journalist or editorialist says the obvious – that a people who lionize murderers are clearly not deserving of any Western support, let alone a state.

There is not one word of condemnation from the enlightened West that Mahmoud Abbas – personally and proudly – poses with and praises people with blood on their hands. Photos that would instantly torpedo the career of any other politician on the planet are not newsworthy when the politician is “President of Palestine.”

The world agrees: Palestinian Arab leaders are moderate, peace-loving victims and that the people that their people murder are evil colonialist oppressors who deserved to be shot, stabbed, and bludgeoned to death.

There is no other interpretation.

The people see them as heroes and victims of the occupation. When they are accused in Israel of committing acts of terror or of having blood on their hands, the Palestinians respond that the occupation is also an act of terror and the source of violence, and compare between the number of victims among civilians – children, women and innocent people – on both sides.


The Israeli objection to the release of prisoners as part of the peace process helps bolster the radical elements among the Palestinians, those who argue that there is only one way that has proved itself – kidnapping Israeli soldiers and exchanging them for prisoners. As far as they are concerned, Israel only understands the language of force. This is not what those who see themselves as part of the Palestinian peace camp prefer, but we welcome any prisoner release in any form.
