Mahmoud Abbas Welcomes Released Terrorist Home With Big Warm Embrace

13

Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian Authority leader who’s supposed to be forging amicable relations with Israel — at least, that’s what the left wants believed, anyway — nonetheless grabbed ahold of a terrorist who was released from a prison in the Jewish nation and gave him a big bear hug welcome.’

Two-faced would be a kind characterization.

Abbas makes no secret of his utter hatred of the Jewish people — his utter contempt for Israeli ally America and President Donald Trump’s administration — his utter lies and deceptions about goals for Mideast peace that he sells so well to the mainstream media.

From the Times of Israel:

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas welcomed a terrorist immediately upon his release from a 20-year sentence in Israel prison for murder, in an hour-long meeting that focused on Palestinian prisoners.

Rajaei Haddad was saluted by other Fatah members as “a leader, a hero, and a fighter.”

Palestinian Authority TV showed footage of the meeting between Abbas and Haddad, who spent two decades in prison for his role in the November 1997 murder of yeshiva student Gabriel Hirschberg in the Old City of Jerusalem, in an April 10 television report. The report stressed “that our leadership gives top priority to the issue of our prisoners.”

Haddad told viewers of Abbas’ concern for the well-being of all the jailed Palestinian terrorists.

“The president asked me about each and every one,” Haddad said. “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).”

Haddad was released from jail on March 14. He was the lookout for the terror attack on Hagai Street, signalling to Ayman al-Sharbati when he saw two yeshiva students approaching. Al-Sharbati, who is still in prison, opened fire with a Kalashnikov assault rifle, killing Hirschberg and seriously wounding the other student.

The news clip, translated by the MEMRI Middle East Media Research Institute, also showed a celebration held in Jerusalem to welcome the released terrorist that was attended by senior members of Fatah, the dominant party ruling the Palestinian Authority.

“First, let me salute our prisoners who are languishing in prison,” said Fatah Revolutionary Council secretary Adnan Ghaith, “Here, in our capital of Jerusalem, our people welcome a leader, a hero, and a fighter, who sacrificed 20 years for the sake of Jerusalem, Palestine, and our great people.”

In addition to supporting the other prisoners, Fatah said the celebrations were intended to send a message to the Israelis that the issue of prisoners and “martyrs” was non-negotiable.

“I am very happy to join the people of Jerusalem, our eternal capital, in welcoming this Fatah knight, who spent 20 years in the prisons of the Israeli occupation, in defense of our land, our people, our independence and our freedom,” said Fatah Central Committee member Jamal Moheisen. “This (event) is a message of loyalty to the prisoners, the heroes. It is also a message to the occupation that the issue of the prisoners and martyrs is where we draw the line.”

The meeting between Abbas and Haddad came some two weeks before US President Donald Trump signed into law a bill that cuts some aid to the Palestinians until they end stipends to terrorists and the families of slain attackers, as he approved a massive $1.3 trillion omnibus spending bill. Abbas condemned the Taylor Force Act and vowed to continue paying families of “martyrs and prisoners.” Yusef al Mahmoud, spokesperson for the PA government in Ramallah, said that the US should instead have called for “ending the occupation and suffering of the Palestinian people.”

The Palestinians must embrace peace if they are to build a better future for their children in the decades to come.

Sung to the tune of Tom Lehrer’s Werner Von Braun

Gather round while I sing you of a moderate muslim clown
a man whose veracity is ruled by mendacity
call him a moderate, he won’t even frown
at his research in rocketry in old Gaza town

Don’t say that he’s an islamist
Say rather that he’s an moderist

once the rockets are up
who cares where they come down
that’s not my department says Abbas with a frown

some have harsh words for this muslim of renown
but some think kuffar attitude should be one of gratitude
like the terrorist pensioners of old Gaza town
who owe their large pensions to kufar jizya they’ve found

Abbas tells the kufar it’s easy to piss-on-ya
Once you’ve learned to count kufar jizya
in dollars and sheckels and yen
and soon Chinese yuan says Abbas with a grin

Abbas has more akin to a bag of you-know tied-up in the middle than a human being. Abbas is a terrorist, as are all Palestinians and Islamist scum, who milks the sentiments of the Leftist-Fascist west, excepting President Trump. The fact that a terrorist is released by Israel is more disconcerting; there’s no doubt more Israelis will be murdered once again by this scum-sucking Islamist. The West is blatant in its want of destruction, mass-suicide by Jihad; I give Israel more credit but the release of this a-hole doesn’t bode well.

Agree. Trump was conned by Abbas initially but when he found out the truth boy was he mad as hell at the jihadi http://bit.ly/2rOmfyJ

That’s when he decided enough is enough and that inspite of huge opposition led to shifting of Embassy to Jerusalem and No more funding to the jihadis.

Well, the piece of garbage is home just in time to plan the next one. Why did Israel give him only twenty years. He should have gotten fifty. Israel just created more problems for itself by letting this human excrement out.

We really need to take up a collection, for the Nation of Israel. It appears that they haven’t enough in their budget to purchase rope.

That’s ok. A few dirty night shirts seized by the IDF can be used in a pinch for that purpose.

Then the question arises, why didn’t they use them?

The IDF had to first make sure they were kosher. You know, remove all the goat spunk first.

Nice “hug” from Abbas. Had the terrorist dropped the soap in the shower, a guaranteed different kind of hug would have been given…..
