The wine that Pompeo drinks “is diluted with the blood of Palestinians”
Excerpt of an op-ed by Muwaffaq Matar, Fatah Revolutionary Council member and regular columnist for the official PA daily
Headline: “Pompeo’s Tea [Party] and wine in the colony Psagot!”
“‘The only path to redemption in the world is to follow in the footsteps of the messiah [Jesus]’ – this is what American Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who intends to participate in a ceremony in the colony Psagot in the coming days, announced.
[We do not] know which messiah Pompeo is referring to... We think that he is talking about a false messiah who is in love with oppression, wars, fraud, and falsehoods, and not about the messiah [who is the] messenger of love, justice, and peace for humanity…
Pompeo is an extremist Zionist fundamentalist who is using religion like every fundamentalist extremist in the world, who has no connection to the Christian believers. Therefore it is no wonder that he said that ‘The Christian West is in a state of war with the Islamic East’ – and this is exactly what those who are responsible for the settler colonialist Zionist organization’s activity and plans always want to hear; they are interested in fanning a conflict like this so that behind its smokescreen, flames, and tragedies, they will continue with the occupation and will expand the settler colonialist attack…
Let Pompeo drink as much wine as he wants, but he should know in advance that the wine in the glass that he will raise, which bears his name and is produced in a colony of terrorists (refers to a special edition wine produced by the Psagot Winery named after Pompeo –Ed.), is diluted with the blood of people – the Palestinians – and diluted with the blood of the true messiah, and not the fake one in whose footsteps he is calling to follow.”
Psagot - Psagot is an Israeli town in the West Bank north of Jerusalem and near Ramallah. It was established in 1981
