Hamas in Gaza is labeling the Itamar killings of three sleeping children and their parents a "heroic operation" (http://www.jpost.com/MiddleEast/Article.aspx?id=211849). I apologize for shocking the sensibilities of any of my readership, and I hope there are no children who read this blog, but for those capable of withstanding the horror of viewing graphic pictures of these tragic murders, see http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/142846. What monster could possibly perpetrate such an act?
Palestinian President Abbas is now denouncing the killings as "despicable, immoral, and inhuman", but on Sunday Abbas's Fatah faction dedicated a town square in El-Bireh after Dalal al-Mughrabi, the leader of the 1978 Coastal Road Massacre.
The Coastal Road Massacre? On March 11, 1978, 11 Fatah terrorists landed near Ma’agan Michael. After killing Gail Rubin, an American nature photographer, they hijacked a passing taxi and drove south toward Tel Aviv. Stopping a northbound bus, they turned it around and began shooting passing cars.
Stopping another bus and taking additional hostages, they were halted at the Glilot Junction north of Tel Aviv, where a battle ensued. As the ultimate result of this barbarity, 37 Israelis and one American lost their lives, including 13 children, and 71 were wounded. (See: http://www.jpost.com/Features/InThespotlight/Article.aspx?id=211632)
Make no mistake about it: Abbas is saying one thing for the consumption of Washington, while doing something altogether else to please the Palestinian street and save his own skin.
