Released Israeli Arab terrorist murderer Karim Younes –
- Implicitly calls for kidnappings to release terrorists:
“In the past, [Palestinian] prisoners weren’t [in prison for long]… Every three or four years there was an exchange deal, and therefore the prisoners always had hope.

Following his release from prison, Israeli Arab terrorist murderer Karim Younes has been treated by the PA and Fatah as a celebrity. Younes himself has made a number of striking statements – he has not only stressed his contempt for his Israeli citizenship, but also implicitly called for kidnapping Israelis to use them as bargaining chips to release imprisoned terrorists in exchange deals.
The following are examples of Younes’ own statements and expressions of praise for him made by PA and Fatah officials:
Released murderer Karim Younes implicitly calls for kidnappings to release terrorists
Upon his release from prison after 40 years, terrorist murderer Younes implicitly encouraged the Palestinian “people and factions” to kidnap Israelis to bring about exchange deals and the release of prisoners:
Terrorist Karim Younes: “In the past, [Palestinian] prisoners weren’t [in prison for long]. The time between one [prisoner] exchange deal and the next was no more than five or six years. Every three or four years there was an exchange deal, and therefore the prisoners always had hope. Today our people and our factions must not let despair and frustration enter the souls of [the prisoners]. They must not feel that they are paying a price to no avail, in the shadow of the absence of a future for them and for all our people.”

Released Israeli-Arab terrorist murderer insults his “racist” Israeli citizenship: “The most hated… No one is sorry [to lose it]”
Terrorist murderer Younes’ comment on Israel considering revoking his Israeli citizenship was one of contempt:
Terrorist murderer Karim Younes: Everyone knows that the Israeli citizenship - and the Israeli passport - is the most hated passport in the world. This is a citizenship that doesn’t venerate the one holding it. It is known that it is a racist citizenship. No one is sorry about [losing] this citizenship. However, we will continue to insist on remaining in our lands, in our homes, on our land, and in our cities and villages. This is what we have learned, and this will always be our goal… We are Palestinians before anything else. The Israeli identity card and Israeli passport were forced upon us. No one is sorry about [losing] the Israeli passport. Let them do whatever they want.”

Released Israeli-Arab terrorist murderer: “I’m proud I was among those who gave and sacrificed for Palestine”
No remorse or regret has been expressed by Karim Younes over his and his cousin’s murder of Israeli soldier Avraham Bromberg in 1980. On the contrary, Karim Younes stressed that he is “proud”:
Terrorist murderer Karim Younes: “I’m proud I was among those who gave and sacrificed for Palestine, and we were prepared to sacrifice more for the freedom of Palestine. Forty years passed like nothing, because we consider them as one of the stations of the struggle.”

Released Israeli-Arab terrorist murderer: “All of Palestine is ours”
Similarly, Younes rejected Israel's right to exist, stating that “all of Palestine is ours”:

[Official PA TV News, Jan. 7, 2023]
The PA hails a hero
Numerous PA/PLO/Fatah officials met with and congratulated murderer Younes upon his release, referring to him as “a hero” and “a heroic commander.” The following are some examples:
As murderer Younes himself stressed that Israel has no right to exist because “all of Palestine is ours,” a Fatah official utilized the release of murderer Younes to stress the same message, stating that “Palestine” stretches “from the [Jordan] River to the [Mediterranean] Sea”:
Fatah Jerusalem Branch Secretary Shadi Mattour: “Prisons and cells have turned us into revolutionaries. Freedom, freedom to the heroes of freedom. Long live, long live Palestine, from the [Jordan] River to the [Mediterranean] Sea. We are the giants of endurance, and Karim [Younes] is our commander.”

In an unusual break with practice, the official PA daily published on its front page this cartoon of Karim Younes on the day of his release under the headline:
“Today [Jan. 5, 2023] Karim Younes will breathe freedom after 40 years in captivity”
[Official PA daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, Jan. 5, 2023]
The cartoon shows terrorist Karim Younes in a prisoner’s uniform breaking out of the roof of a prison, while holding a glowing orb that apparently is meant to be the sun.
In a phone call congratulating Younes upon his release, PA Chairman Abbas repeated his admiration and unwavering support for terrorists and murderers and his wish to “get rid of” Israel:
“The [PA] president said: ‘All the prisoners are before our eyes. They are all our brothers, and their cause is sacred for us all. We will not relinquish and will not agree to any concession regarding our prisoner brothers, whether they have served 40 years or 40 seconds in the occupation’s prisons. They are all fighters who carried out the most prominent forms of struggle for our people.’
He added: ‘We hope to see you very soon in high morale in order to continue this struggle that you began 40 years ago. We will also continue to take action for the freedom of the prisoners and the homeland, and in order to get rid of the occupation and establish our independent state whose capital is Jerusalem.’
The president said: ‘We look forward to the release of brother Marwan Barghouti (i.e., terrorist, orchestrated three attacks in which 5 were murdered) soon, and also of Maher Younes (i.e., terrorist, murdered 1 together with Karim Younes), so that we will celebrate their freedom and empty all the prisons, Allah willing.’”

The joy that you cause us is great, and the pride that your steadfastness causes us is even greater. We wish for the rest of your [prisoner] brothers that you will all meet in liberated Jerusalem.”

Posting the same photo of Younes and words of praise, Abbas’ advisor and PA Supreme Shari’ah Judge Mahmoud Al-Habbash expressed hope that Israel will be destroyed and “all of Palestine will be liberated”:

The chain must break. After 40 years in the occupation’s prisons, Karim Younes is breathing freedom. Soon, Allah willing, all of Palestine will be liberated from the chains of occupation and all our heroic prisoners will enjoy the breaking of the chains of prison and the prison guard.”

“Prisoner Karim Younes (i.e., terrorist, murdered 1 together with an accomplice) wrote a letter to his prisoner comrades a number of days before his release, in which he said: ‘Here I am about to leave the [prison] cells of darkness, where I learned not to fear the darkness, and where I learned not to feel alienation or solitude, because I am among my brothers, my brothers in the chains and the suffering, brothers united by one pledge and one covenant.’
He also added: ‘I am leaving my cell, which I hoped for a long time to leave while extricating my freedom accompanied by my brothers on the path and my comrades in the struggle, and in my mind’s eye I see a reception in which a great victory and achievement are expressed. Despite this, I see myself as if I do not want [it], I am trying to ignore the pain of separation, and the suffering of the moments of separation from brothers who I thought I would end my life alongside them, and they are permanent factors like mountains in my life. As the time comes for me to leave, I feel disappointment and helplessness, especially when I look into the eyes of one of them, and some of them are already [in prison for] 30 years.’
He continued: ‘I will exit my cell and I will leave, but my spirit remains with those who are maintaining the spark and maintaining the quality of the entire Palestinian struggle, with those who did not break and will never break, but the years of their lives are trickling through their fingers in every direction, below them, above them, in front of them, and behind them, and they still aspire to see the sun of freedom in what remains of their lives before unwillingness and deterioration harm their desire for life.’”

Excerpt of letter from terrorist murderer Karim Younes to his fellow inmates:
“I am leaving my cell, and I take my hat off to a generation that without a doubt is unlike my generation, a generation of active young men and women who are leading the scene in recent years, a generation that is clearly more decisive, more daring, braver, and more worthy of receiving the flag – and how could it not, when they are knowledgeable about the story and know the entire narrative by heart, and they are determined to carry out the orders, the orders of our people that is dispersed in every direction, uprooted, [these orders asking] to extricate its right to return and self-determination. Therefore, happy is this rising generation, despite the atmosphere of oppression… Here I am approaching the moment when I have no choice but to pass over my old wounds and old memories, the moment when I will be able to smile before my old image without feeling regret or disappointment… I am returning to recite with my people everywhere the anthem of my land, the anthem Fida’i (i.e., “self-sacrificing fighter”; see note below), the anthem of return and liberation.”

Text in first comment: “Today, Wednesday [Jan. 11, 2023], the [PA] Ministry of Education gave 40,000 letters written by the students of Palestine to free man Karim Younes (i.e., terrorist, murdered 1 together with an accomplice) on the occasion of his release, after he finished serving the entire term to which he was sentenced in the occupation’s prisons, whose length was more than 40 years.
Ministry [of Education] Undersecretary Dr. Nafa Assaf, Chairman of the [PA-funded] Prisoners’ Club Qadura Fares, and teams of the [PA] Ministry of Culture and the [Prisoners’] Club participated in the activity.

Those responsible for the activity emphasized that the students’ letters reflect the great level of awareness regarding our most prominent and significant causes, and they come as a clear response to the occupation’s ongoing attempts to target the Palestinian collective consciousness, especially among the new generation, as part of it is the awareness regarding the first human cause, which is the prisoners’ cause. The participants emphasized the significant role that the Ministry of Education is fulfilling with all its teams and employees, which stood out with their great earnestness in accompanying this initiative that had many responses among the prisoners’ families and the prisoners themselves. They directed attention to how the students’ contributions were not only summed up by letters but drawings were also drawn, and various texts and poems were written.
The [PA] Ministry of Prisoners’ [Affairs] noted that popular activities in all the districts will begin in cooperation with all the institutions to celebrate the freedom of prisoner Maher Younes (i.e., terrorist, murdered 1 together with Karim Younes), the most veteran Palestinian prisoner, who will be released on [Jan.] 19, [2023].”
