The meeting, held just hours after a 19-year-old border policewoman was killed at Damascus Gate in the Old City, invited 11 families of “martyred sons” to the the PA president’s headquarters in Ramallah, Israeli daily Yediot Aronoth reported.
This included family members of Baha Alyan, who on October 13 boarded the number 78 Egged Bus in Jerusalem and proceeded to stab and shoot Jewish passengers. Alyan was shot dead by police and Ghanem was taken into custody.
Haim Haviv, 78, Alon Govberg, 51, and Richard Lakin, 76, were murdered, and over a dozen other passengers were seriously wounded in the attack, which rattled the nation.
The family of Ala Abu Jamal, a resident of Jabal Mukaber, was also in attendance. Jamal, 33, drove his vehicle into a group of several people waiting at a bus stop. He then exited his car with a meat cleaver and began attacking the wounded and others with the implement.
Rabbi Yeshayahu Krishevsky, 60, was killed, apparently both from the vehicular attack and the axe wounds while two other people were seriously injured.
Just hours before Abbas’ meeting, Border Police Cpl. Hadar Cohen was killed in a terror attack at the Damascus Gate in the Old City when three Arab terrorists, wielding machine guns, pipe bombs and knives, attacked her and another female guard. The second female border policewoman remains in critical condition.
All three assailants were shot dead at the scene. Their explosives did not detonate and were later neutralized by a police bomb disposal team.
Since September of last year, , Israel emergency medical services have treated victims in 91 rock throwing incidents, 83 stabbing incidents, 22 vehicle ramming attacks, and 15 shootings, according to MDA. Over two dozen Israelis have been killed during the same length of time.
What to do?
Simple
Expell the families of the murderers and demolish their homes.
That’s the only thing these murderous animals care about. Their parents and their homes
And your president Obama thinks this guy is a partner in peace. Either Obama is stupid or a fool. I am not sure which one.
Obama’s cousin openly & publicly supports terrorism. this fact is purposely ignored by the media. &don;’t forget this is a “moderate”. 1mo thing- the Abbas’s receive medical services ONLY in ” occupied ” isreal
Is it not obvious that Abb ass supports terror? He should be captured and put in solitary administration detention.
If the grandson of Rabbi Kahane, Meir Etinger can be held for 4 months with no charges, this creepy Abbass who was elected for a 4 year term in 2006 yet does not allow elections and supports terror activities should be put in jail or shot for helping terror.
Reply to 2. Unfortunately he’s neither. He’s dangerously cunning and most likely an ISIS plant. We can look forward to 40 more years of Jimmy Carterism anti-Semitism from Sheik Obama
Obvious to anyone that Israel is a suicidal nation. In this instance they should issue an arrest warrant for Abbas for taking part in terror activities! Hello? The jewish kid sits in car and gets 21 years and the PA gov actively and openly supports the murder of Jews and you do nothing???
