Fatah celebrated the attempted murder of Rabbi Yehuda Glick, yesterday in
Jerusalem, and glorified the shooter. Rabbi Yehuda Glick is the Chairman of
the Temple Mount Heritage Foundation that works through educational
activities to increase awareness of the central place the Temple Mount in
Jewish heritage and works to promote civil rights for Jews to pray on the
Temple Mount.

Fatah referred to him as an "extremist Zionist," called the attempt on his
life "the assassination of the despicable Glick," and honored the terrorist
who was subsequently killed by Israel as a "heroic Martyr."

PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas' advisor on NGOs and Fatah Central Committee
member Sultan Abu Al-Einein shared a poster published by Fatah's Jerusalem
branch praising the terrorist and referring to him as the "heroic Martyr" on
the way "to his wedding":

"Fatah's Jerusalem branch accompanies its heroic Martyr to his wedding,
Mutaz Ibrahim Khalil Hijazi, who carried out the assassination attempt of
Zionist rabbi Yehuda Glick."

Last week "Palestinian Media Watch" documented that this same advisor to
Abbas glorified a terrorist who murdered a three-month-old
baby.http://www.palwatch.org/main.aspx?fi=157&doc_id=12911

In addition, PA TV has presented Abbas himself as a central force promoting
violence. A clip of Abbas calling to "use all ways" to prevent Jews from
approaching the Temple Mount was aired 25 times in the last two weeks- a
indication that the PA is promoting the ongoing riots and terror.

The Fatah poster honoring the terrorist shows his picture with Jerusalem in
the background.

Another Fatah Facebook Text:
"Celebrations throughout the Old City of Jerusalem - the attempted
assassination of the extremist Zionist Yehuda Glick, who engineered the
invasions of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and heads the council of the 'Temple Mount'
Faithful, with three bullets as he was leaving a conference of the alleged
'Temple' [Mount] Faithful"

The following are the image and text posted on the Fatah's Facebook page,

Text: "Martyr (Shahid) Mutaz Hijazi,the Martyr of Dawn in Jerusalem, is a
released prisoner. He died as a Martyr (Shahid) following a gunfight. The
occupation forces accuse him of attempting to assassinate the Zionist rabbi
Yehuda Glick."

Text on poster shared by Abbas' advisor, Abu Al-Einein:
"'Among the believers are men true to what they promised Allah. Among them
is he who has fulfilled his vow [to the death], and among them is he who
awaits [his chance]. And they did not alter [the terms of their commitment]
by any alteration.' (Surah 33:23, trans. Sahih International)
