PLO official: Terror attacks in Paris were West’s fault because it hasn't condemned “Zionist terror”
"[Palestinian National Council, the legislative body of the PLO, member] Bassam Abu Sharif condemned the bloody terrorist attack, which took the lives of dozens of victims among French citizens, and said that this despicable crime is a result of policies of Western leaders, who use different criteria when they judge bloody indiscriminate terror. Likewise, he said: ‘At a time when we are feeling sorrow and pain over the death of innocent civilians in France, we note that [it is a result of] the policy of leaders of Washington and the West, who have adopted and [still] adopt the policy of applying different criteria to terrorists. The West has already used terrorist organizations in the past, armed them and trained them, in order to use them as a tool to serve its schemes and the schemes of Israel in the Middle East. In addition, the West did not object to or condemn the ongoing terror operations against the entire Palestinian people, being carried out by the government of Israel and the occupation forces, during which they shoot women, children and civilians who are demanding their freedom.’ Bassam Abu Sharif said that if the West persists in this policy of applying different criteria, which serves the ‘Zionist’ occupation forces and protects the crimes they are carrying out against an entire people, it will backfire. Likewise, he said that dealing with the terror and coming out against it are a human and cultural duty at this moment, and anyone who puts obstacles in the way of coming out against terror and is silent about the terror of the ‘Zionist’ state is serving the interests of this organized terror.”
