Abbas’ terror-hypocrisy continues
Fatah praises killers of 8:
Murder of 6 at bat-mitzvah celebration in 2002
was “heroic operation”
Killer of 2 was “brave lion” and “heroic Martyr”
“Our Martyrs are torches on the path
to victory and freedom”

Palestinian Authority Chairman Abbas’ Fatah movement continues to glorify killers of Israelis as “heroes” and “Martyrs.”
On Jan. 17, 2002, terrorist Abd Al-Salam Hassouna shot and killed 6 and wounded dozens at a bat-mitzvah celebration in Hadera. Anticipating the anniversary of this “heroic operation” and the killer’s “Martyrdom-death,” Fatah posted a photo of the murderer holding a rifle and praised him and other “Martyrs” as “torches on the path to victory and freedom”:“With an M16 he opened fire on many Zionists, killed 9 and injured dozens, until his rifle jammed. Our Martyrs are torches on the path to victory and freedom.”

This is yet another example of Abbas’ terror-hypocrisy, exposed by Palestinian Media Watch. Last week, PMW reported that while Abbas condemned the killings of civilians in Paris, his Fatah movement glorified 5 terrorists who killed 10 Israelis and terrorist Dalal Mughrabi who led the killing of 37 civilians.
Fatah also glorified another terrorist who shot and killed 2and wounded dozens on Jan. 22, 2002. Abbas’ movement uploaded a poster of terrorist Sa’id Ibrahim Ramadan (possibly from
2002), on which Fatah’s Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades expressed their “utmost pride” accompanying “the brave lion” in his wedding procession - a reference to the Islamic belief that the “Martyr” marries 72 virgins in Heaven:
“With the utmost pride the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades escort [in his wedding procession] the brave lion, the Martyrdom-seeker The heroic Martyr (Shahid) Sa’id Ibrahim Ramadan who carried out the heroic operation in Jerusalem on Tuesday Jan. 22, 2002. You made a promise and you kept it, and we are committed to you."

The following are the full texts of Fatah’s Facebook posts glorifying the two killers from 2002:
“The first to respond to the assassination of Raed Al-Karmi:
Martyrdom-seeker Abd Al-Salam Hassouna, who carried out the heroic operation (i.e., terror attack) on Jan. 18, 2002 (sic, it was on Jan. 17, 2002 -Ed.) in Hadera, in response to the assassination of Raed Al-Karmi. With an M16 he opened fire on many Zionists, killed 9 and injured dozens, until his rifle jammed.
Our Martyrs are torches on the path to victory and freedom.”
