‘No’: Palestinian Ambassador Refuses To Condemn Murder Of 7 Jews By Palestinian Terrorist

Speak The English interviewer asked the ambassador of Palestine to the United Kingdom if he had condemned the murder of seven Jews outside of a synagogue. He also said no, despite being asked by the interviewer if he did not believe that he could.

The terrorist responsible, which was the most serious terrorist attack on Israel since 2011, was a>=”https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/israel-prepares-to-demolish-home-of-palestinian-gunman-who-killed-7-in-east-jerusalem”>reportedly 21 years of age Hatred for Jews is Usually inculcated In education of Palestinian children. Natali and Eli Mizrahi who had just been married were among the dead. Natali was reportedly performing CPR on one of those victims when she was killed.

It is important to note that terrorists “kills seven Israelis, including a newly-married couple helping the injured,” interviewer Kay Burley Frequently Asked Questions Palestinian ambassador Husam Zomlot, “Shot outside a synagogue on Holocaust Memorial day. Do you condemn that?”

“Every life lost is absolutely a tragedy,” Zomlot deflected. “And no one works for non-violent solution to this problem more than us.”

Zomlot’s statement flies in the face of the fact that the Palestinian Authority has utilized a “pay-to-slay” Program for years that remunerates families of terrorists who kill Israelis.

“The Palestinian Authority’s legislation and allocations of monthly salaries and benefits rewarding imprisoned and released terrorists, and the families of ‘Martyrs,’ amount to $300 million annually,” The Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs is a registered charity. noted, Add to that the money “clearly demonstrates the PA’s institutional commitment to sponsoring terror against Israel.”

“Do you condemn it?” Burley pressed.

“No,” Zomlot stated it bluntly. He then apparently spoke of an IDF action that took place prior to the murders at the synagogue in which terrorists in Jenin were killed. “I condemn the original violence. That’s what needs to be condemned.”

According According to the IDF (Israel Defense Forces), Islamic Jihad terrorists were planning a major attack in Jenin, according to IDF. A top IDF official said, “We eliminated a ticking time-bomb in the form of Islamic Jihad terrorists who were planning a series of attacks on the homefront.”

Israel’s Ambassador to the UN, Gilad Erdan, declared at the opening of Yad Vashem’s Book of Names exhibit at the United Nations, “There are those that are working to erase the memory and lessons that must be learned from our horrific atrocity. They question the right of the Jewish people and the Jewish State to protect ourselves. Just today, we witnessed another example — one of thousands — of Israel defending itself against terrorists in Jenin preparing to carry out an attack against innocent Jews.”

“I expect the international community to stand behind the Jewish people defending ourselves in the Jewish State, as this is one of the most fundamental lessons learned from the Holocaust. The tragedy of the Jewish people. This is the embodiment of Never Again,” He concluded.

Burley tried Zomlot again: “So you don’t condemn that action?”

Zomlot, after much hawing and hemming, said: “We can sit here until the morning and talk about condemnation. We must stop the cycle of violence. That’s what we need to do. And we must visit the root cause of this violence. For many, many years — and the media has been guilty of that — it’s trying to draw some parallels — is failing to focus on the actual cause of all this. Like yesterday you asked if there’s violence on both sides. What both sides? What are the ‘both sides?’”

“I’ve just given you an illustration,” Burley stated simply.
