TV Mahmud Abbas calls “martyrs” the terrorists – ABC.es

The means of the Palestinian National Authority states that intentional violations were “accidents”

The Palestinians responsible for attacks against Jews are rated “martyrs” by means of the National Authority Palestine. “This is something that usually happens, but this time the big difference from last year is that it was Mahmoud Abbas who has encouraged violence” says Itamar Marcus , director of the Observatory Palestinian news (PMW, for its acronym in English), Israeli institution founded in 1996 to analyze the messages of the Palestinian leadership. The agency keeps track of the Palestinian media and dedicates his latest newsletter to dismantle the vision of the recent attacks provided by the Palestinian national television.

As an example, this television calls “accidents “intentional abuses carried out by Palestinians or presented as an” attack Israel “the attack on the synagogue in Har Nof in which four rabbis and a policeman were killed.

PMW notes in his report that, in the case of the synagogue, the Palestinian channel “ ignored completely the fact that the two terrorists were Armed with guns, knives and axes, and killed five people. ” The response of the security forces, who a few minutes arrived at the scene of the killing and shot dead two prime perpetrators of the attack, was described as’ Israeli attack our people, “according to the Palestinian information analyzed by PMW which insists that is always called “martyrs” the perpetrators of attacks .

“We have the right to resist by all means, peaceful or not ‘

In the Office of Mediation PLO defend the use of this terminology because “for Israel each attack is synonymous with terrorism, but their information omitted any mention of the Palestinians suffer an occupation since 1967 and we have the right to resist by all means, peaceful or not “says Ashraf Khatib , who recalls that” from the Palestinian leadership does not encourage violence. ” He adds. “We are faced individual responses to frustration and misery with which daily lives our people, especially in Jerusalem ”

The spark that had finished building the atmosphere of the holy city was the attempt radical Jews pray at the Temple Mount (Temple Mount for Muslims), a authentic red line for Muslims. Mahmoud Abbas responsible for a decade with little violence in West Bank against Israel, then sent a message to his people by appealing to “defend Al Aqsa by all possible means” . Words that, according to Itamar Marcus, “were repeated in 19 times on television within 72 hours and had a direct effect on neighborhoods of East Jerusalem where there is no wall and easier for Arab move “.

Since the Israeli government has also been directly targeted Palestinian leader after each attack, but these allegations contrast with the opinion of the head of Shin Bet (security agency), Yoram Cohen , which was quoted by Ynet said that “Abbas is not interested in terror. Not even hidden, although this is the interpretation that the public has made their statements. “
