"... I and most Israelis will never forget the sight of King Hussein consoling the Israeli families whose children had been killed in a terrorist attack. After learning that a Jordanian soldier had murdered seven Israeli schoolgirls, King Hussein traveled to Israel to visit the homes of the bereaved families. One by one, he sat with the grieving parents, held their hands, offered words of condolence and hugged and kissed them.

King Hussein told them (and I quote), “I feel that if there is anything left in life, it will be to ensure that all the children enjoy the kind of peace and security that we never had in our times.” This is the legacy that his son, King Abdullah, proudly continues today.

Mr. President,

Contrast this picture, with a picture from just a few weeks ago. In December, Israel once again made the heartbreaking decision to release convicted Palestinian terrorists in an effort to advance the peace process.

The released terrorists were given a heroes’ welcome by the Palestinians and embraced by President Abbas. Murderers were met with fireworks and festivities and showered with candies and congratulations. The Palestinian Authority is rewarding terrorists with tens of thousands of dollars. The motto of the PA’s pension plan seems to be ‘the more you slay, the more we pay.’

This is coexistence? This is tolerance? This is mutual respect? Grieving Israelis watched as Palestinians celebrated men like Abu Harbish who threw a firebomb at a bus, murdering 26-year-old Rachel Weiss and her three young children.

To everyone in this room I ask - how would you feel if you had to watch your family’s murderers being celebrated? Would you call into question the so-called 'peaceful' intentions of your neighbors? President Abbas could learn a great deal from King Hussein of Jordan about demonstrating his commitment to making peace..."

 

Exempel på vad Abbas och hans organisation Fatah står för:

Fatah publicizes threats to bomb Tel Aviv on its official Facebook page by terror organization Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades- the military wing of Fatah

 "We swear to you that we will turn the beloved [Gaza] Strip into a graveyard for your soldiers, and we will turn Tel Aviv into a ball of fire."

Abbas om frigivna mördare - "våra hjältar"

Abbas: "[The release of our prisoners] is a day of joy for our nation, for our people, for our heroic prisoners... There will be more groups of heroes who will come to us... They [the Israelis] postponed these heroes' release by 24 hours... we congratulate you and ourselves for the [release] of these heroes."

[Official PA TV, Dec. 31, 2013]

Three released terrorist "heroes" celebrated with Abbas on stage:

Jamal Abu Muhsin - stabbed a 76 year-old Israeli civilian to death in a park in 1991.

Ahmad Kmeil - a commander of a terrorist cell that murdered an Israeli soldier and 15 Palestinians who they suspected of helping Israel.

Na'im Al-Shawamreh - placed a bomb in 1993 that killed the police sapper who was trying to defuse it.

Har EU, som enligt sin ambassadör i Israel för en balanserad politik,  kallat in palestinska diplomater för att protestera?Knappast!
