PA TV misrepresents murderers of rabbis in Jerusalem synagogue and streets
as victims of Israeli attacks

Terrorist attacks with cars were "accidents"

To the Palestinian public, Abbas' official Palestinian Authority TV has
presented four Palestinian terrorist murderers as "Martyrs." Israel's
shooting of these terrorists - either during their attacks on Israeli
civilians or while trying to apprehend them later - was described by PA TV
as "Israel's attacks against our people." PA TV avoided mentioning the
terror attacks altogether, and referred to recent attacks in which
terrorists deliberately ran people over as "accidents" and "incidents."

Completely ignoring the fact that two terrorists armed with guns, knives and
axes murdered five people in an attack against worshippers in a Jerusalem
synagogue, PA TV included their deaths in the list of "Israeli attacks." The
fact that the terrorists were killed in an exchange of fire with Israeli
Security Forces that arrived at the synagogue was not mentioned. PA TV
described them as victims:

PA TV newsreader: "The latest reaction to Netanyahu's policy and means was
the death of two Palestinians as Martyrs (terrorists who murdered 5 in
synagogue) from occupation police fire in West Jerusalem (image from terror
attack at Jerusalem synagogue is shown in the PA TV studio - Ed.)"

[Official PA TV, Nov. 18, 2014]

The following is the full report on official PA TV News on Israel's
"attacks" on Palestinians who were in fact terrorists who had murdered or
seriously injured civilians:

PA TV newsreader: "Here are the most prominent attacks Israel carried out
against our people in occupied Jerusalem in October [2014]: The death of Abd
Al-Rahman Al-Shaloudi as a Martyr (terrorist who ran over and murdered 2).
He was shot by the occupation after a car accident. The death of Mutaz
Hijazi as a Martyr (terrorist who tried to murder Rabbi Yehuda Glick) and
the wounding of other [Palestinians] by shots fired by the occupation police
in Silwan... And in November [2014], the death of Ibrahim Al-Akari as a
Martyr (terrorist who ran over and murdered 2) in Sheikh Jarrah after a
run-over incident... The latest reaction to Netanyahu's policy and means was
the death of 2 Palestinians as Martyrs (terrorists who murdered 5 in
synagogue) from occupation police fire in West Jerusalem (image from terror
attack at Jerusalem synagogue is shown in the PA TV studio - Ed.)"

[Official PA TV, Nov. 18, 2014]

The terrorists mentioned above as victims of "Israeli attacks" carried out
the following attacks:

On Oct. 22, 2014, Al-Shaloudi deliberately ran over people waiting at a
light-rail station in Jerusalem with a car, killing a three-month-old baby
and a young woman, and injuring 7 others. He was shot by Israeli police
officers while attempting to flee, and later died of his wounds.

On Oct. 29, 2014, Mutaz Hijazi, a member of the Islamic Jihad terror
organization and released prisoner, attempted to assassinate Rabbi Yehuda
Glick, a prominent activist working to assure rights for Jews to visit and
pray on the Temple Mount. Glick was seriously wounded in the attack. Hijazi
was killed soon afterwards when he opened fire on an Israeli police force
that was attempting to arrest him.

On Nov. 5, 2014, Ibrahim Al-Akari, a Hamas terrorist, ran over people
waiting at a light-rail station in Jerusalem, killing two and injuring at
least 13 others. He was shot and killed by Israeli police officers who
arrived on the scene.

On Nov. 18, 2014, Ghassan and Uday Abu Jamal entered a synagogue in West

Jerusalem and attacked worshippers with guns, knives and axes, killing 4
rabbis and a police officer. 7 people were injured, 3 of them seriously. The
terrorists were killed in an exchange of fire with Israeli Security Forces
that arrived on the scene.

Palestinian Media Watch has documented that Abbas himself has honored the
shooter of Rabbi Yehuda Glick, his advisor has honored the terrorists who
killed people by running them over with cars and glorified the synagogue
murderers and Fatah officials have explained away Abbas' condemnation of
these murders, saying Abbas had no other choice due to pressure from the
international community.
