Palestinian TV presents synagogue terrorists as victims
This is Palestinian Authority government TV. Moderate peace partners....
The official Palestinian television channel has described two terrorists who killed five people in an attack on a Jerusalem synagogue last week as victims of Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people. In a broadcast on November 18, the same day that Rabbi Moshe Twersky, Aryeh Kupinsky, Rabbi Kalman Levine, Rabbi Avraham Shmuel Goldberg, and traffic policeman Zidan Saif were killed in Har Nof, PA TV described the spate of recent terror attacks in Jerusalem as incidents where Israel took the lives of innocent Palestinians.
“The latest reaction to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s policy and means was the death of 2 Palestinians as martyrs from occupation police fire in West Jerusalem,” declared a PA TV newsreader, according to an English translation of the broadcast supplied by Palestinian Media Watch, an Israeli-based watchdog.
The two men, Uday and Ghassan Abu Jamal, cousins from East Jerusalem’s Jabel Mukaber neighborhood, entered the Bnei Torah synagogue armed with a gun, axes and meat cleavers and began killing the Jewish worshipers at prayer. The slaughter went on for several minutes before police reached the scene. Zidan, a policeman, was the first to arrive and was critically wounded as he charged the two terrorists in an effort to intervene. Both terrorists were later shot by police in a gunfight on the steps of the synagogue. Zidan died a few hours later.
PA TV listed the names of Palestinians killed after carrying out recent attacks in Jerusalem but described them as “martyrs” who caused the deaths of Israelis by accident.
