Israel Matzav: Rajoub supports kidnapping Israeli soldiers, but Israel is the inciter

Senior 'Palestinian' representative Jibril Rajoub is all in favor of Hamas kidnapping Israeli soldiers because 'it's the only language Israel understands.' 

"If Hamas wants to kidnap Israeli soldiers, they should go ahead and kidnap Israeli soldiers," Rajoub stated earlier this month in a live PA television broadcast. "They should kidnap them if [the Israelis] refuse to release more prisoners, if they want to keep them imprisoned forever - only releasing them as ghosts or skeletons." 

"The Israelis need to understand," Rajoub declared. "It is obvious that kidnapping is a language they understand." 

"If anything, we encourage Hamas to kidnap Israeli soldiers," he continued. "When they kidnapped [Gilad] Shalit, we welcomed it. When they performed the Shalit [prisoner exchange] deal, we had some reservations about it, but we welcomed it too."

But that kind of statement doesn't stop the insufferable Hanan Ashrawi from claiming that Israel is 'inciting' against the 'Palestinians.' 

The Bethlehem-based Ma’an news agency reported that Ashrawi’s accusations were made during a meeting in Ramallah with a delegation from the American J Street organization.

Ashrawi briefed the delegation on "the latest political developments, the ongoing negotiations, and Israel's violations of international law and their impact on prospects for peace and on the region," according to a statement quoted by Ma’an.

"Israel is willfully sabotaging U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry's efforts and using the negotiations as a cover to continue with its illegal settlement activities, particularly in and around Jerusalem, and the theft of Palestinian lands and resources, among other violations," she charged.

"The Jewish American community, particularly as represented by J Street, faces the dual challenge of influencing both the U.S. administration and the hardline and extremist Israeli government; for there to be peace and stability, we must move rapidly," she added.

Ashrawi also reiterated the PA’s demands that any successful peace agreement must include the establishment of a Palestinian state along the indefensible pre-1967 borders with its capital in eastern Jerusalem, a "just solution" to the Palestinian refugee question and the "beginning of the dismantlement of settlements and outposts and the implementation of the Palestinian people's inalienable rights to freedom and sovereignty."

And the 'international community,' including much of world Jewry, continues its willful blindness to the 'Palestinians' duplicity....
