Abbas’ advisor: We will use “all means” – including terror – to “resist” against Israel
Abbas' senior advisor legitimizes and threatens terror against Israel by declaring "resistance" a sacred duty and insisting that Palestinians retain the right to use "all possible means."
PA Chairman Abbas' Advisor on Religious Affairs and Islamic Relations Mahmoud Al-Habbash: "We have two hands, not one, even on the national level. One hand we will keep free for the purpose of resisting the occupation (i.e., Israel)by all possible means (i.e., term that also refers to violence and terror) at our disposal, and one hand we will keep free to build ourselves. But we must not focus on one area and forget the other. Resistance to the occupation is a duty, an honor, and a sacred right."
