Abbas' advisor blesses terrorists  
and their weapons:

"Blessed be your quality weapons, the wheels of your cars,
your kitchen knives and axes... because [they are
being used] according to Allah's will.
[We,] Allah's soldiers carry out his will."

Following yesterday's terror attack in which five Israelis were killed by two terrorists with pistols, knives and axes, Abbas' advisor and Fatah Central Committee member Sultan Abu Al-Einein praised the terrorists and their weapons on his Facebook page. Continuing the PA policy of justifying the attacks and riots as religiously mandated, he referred to the terrorists as "those who carry out Ribat" (religious conflict/war over land claimed to be Islamic) and stated that "[We,] Allah's soldiers carry out his will."

"Peace be upon you, oh children of Jerusalem. Oh, those who carry out
Ribat (religious conflict/war over land claimed to be Islamic) in the plazas of the first direction of prayer of Allah (i.e. the Al-Aqsa Mosque) in the name of your people and your Arab nation... Blessed be your quality weapons, the wheels of your cars, your kitchen knives and axes. By Allah, these are stronger than the arsenals of our enemy, because [they are being used] according to Allah's will. "[We,] Allah's soldiers carry out his will." [Facebook page of Abbas' advisor and Fatah Central Committee member Sultan Abu Al-Einein, Nov. 19, 2014]

Both PA Chairman Abbas and Mahmoud Al-Habbash, Abbas' advisor on religious affairs, have stressed that the PA leadership encourages Palestinians perform "Ribat"in Jerusalem. Palestinian Media Watchhas shown that Abbas recently stated that "we must all carry out Ribat." Al-Habbash confirmed that this is PA policy by saying, "Yes, we are inciting the people in Jerusalem to [perform] 
Ribat."

Yesterday, Al-Einein immediately praisedthe terrorists who killed four Jewish worshippers and a policeman in the attack on a Jerusalem synagogue. He has praised terrorists who have killed Israeli civilians numerous times, including the terrorists who ran over and killedIsraelis and the shooter of Rabbi Yehuda Glick.

Members of US Congress have condemned Al-Eineinfor similar statements and glorification of terrorists in the past, and demanded Abbas dismiss him. However, Abbas defied this demand.

On Nov. 18, 2014, two Arab terrorists, Ghassan and Uday Abu Jamal, from East Jerusalem, entered a synagogue in Jerusalem and attacked worshippers with guns, knives and axes, killing 5 and injuring 7, 3 of them seriously. The terrorists were killed in an exchange of fire with Israeli Security Forces that arrived on the scene.
