Palestinian Murderers Receive Hero’s Welcome in Ramallah
Early this morning, just after midnight, Israel, as part of an agreement with the Palestinian Authority to return to the negotiating table, released 26 prisoners, most if not all, convicted of murder. The question being asked by most Israelis this morning, “And how does releasing terrorists bring peace?”
Below are videos and photos from the reception they received in Ramallah (11 were sent to Ramallah and 15 to Gaza). Just to be clear, none of these terrorists killed soldiers in an act of war, but all targeted civilians.
PLO member Salam Ali Atia attacked Holocaust survivor Isaac Rotenberg with an ax, killing him. Ra’ai Ibrahim Salam Ali also used an ax when he butchered 79-year-old Moris Eisenstatt while he peacefully sat, unarmed, on a public bench reading a book. Ian Sean Feinberg, who was helping Palestinians grow their economy, was killed by Abdel Aal Sa’id Ouda Yusef.
