Synagogue killers glorified as Islamic Martyrs by PA official news agency WAFA and Fatah

Posting a picture of the graves of the two terrorists who murdered 5 Israelis in a synagogue in West Jerusalem last month, Abbas’ Fatah movement glorified them with the supreme Islamic status of Shahids - “Martyrs... who ascended to heaven”:

“This is the place of eternal rest of Martyrs (Shahids) Ghassan and Uday Abu Jamal of Jabel Mukaber [neighborhood] in occupied Jerusalem, who ascended [to heaven] a month and a half ago during an operation (i.e., terror attack) at an occupation synagogue in occupied Jerusalem. Early morning today, they were escorted to their graves at Al-Sawahreh Al- Sharqiyeh.”
Fatah’s Facebook page, “Fatah - The Main Page”, Dec. 25, 2014

Fatah called the terror attack “an operation at an occupation synagogue in occupied Jerusalem.” On Nov. 18, 2014, the two Arab terrorists from East Jerusalem entered a synagogue in Jerusalem and attacked worshippers with guns, knives and axes, killing 4 worshippers and a police officer. 7 people were injured, 3 of them seriously. The terrorists were killed in an exchange of fire with Israeli police that arrived on the scene....

Abbas is considered a moderate by morally depraved standards.

The same morally depraved standards that consider Hamas freedom fighters, not terrorists. And the glorification of the aforementioned terrorists above as no barrier to peace at all, but rather something to be ignored, explained away, or defended as a natural response to the mere existence of Jews in their indigenous homeland.

Earlier this month, Palestinian Media Watch reported that the PA Mufti likewise called them Shahids, when he demanded that Israel return the bodies of the killers because “it is the Shahids’ right for us to pray for them, and this is a right according to Shari’ah. Their relatives, friends and loved ones also have the right to see them one last time.”

Palestinian Media Watch also showed that Abbas’ condemnation of the synagogue massacre was later explained away by Fatah officials as a condemnation for diplomatic reasons only.

When Abbas later condemned the hostage taking in Australia by an ISIS affiliate and the subsequent killing of two of the hostages, PMW compared the two condemnations, showing Abbas' condemnation of the synagogue killings to be insincere.
