PA columnist portrays Israel as standard of evil
Abdallah Awwad, PA columnist for Al-Ayyam:
“The fact that the occupation [Israel] is torturing me in its prison cells and killing me is a routine matter, because it is my enemy, having come in order to seize my land, to kill me, and to cause me to leave. In other words, [Israel] came to live off my death, and therefore it is my right to defend my life. But why do you [Hamas] kill me? Why do you arrest me?”
