ISRAEL MATZAV: I hope he dies. I hope he dies soon. I'm waiting for him to die

The 'Palestinian' newspaper Maan reports that 'a Palestinian with Jordanian citizenship' is on a hunger strike and has been hospitalized. They give the man's name as Abdallah Barghouti, and mention that he is serving 67 life terms in an Israeli prison - the longest sentence of any prisoner. He is demanding that he be transferred to a Jordanian prison to serve out his sentence (like Ahlam Tamimi?). 

What the article fails to mention is why Abdullah Barghouti was sentenced to such a long prison sentence. It says "A Hamas leader, Barghouthi was convicted of involvement in multiple attacks in Israel." 'Involvement' is an understatement. Barghouti was Hamas' master bomb maker. Among others, he made the bomb that blew up the Sbarro restaurant in Jerusalem 12 years ago next month.

The article also fails to mention that your tax dollars are paying him a salary of NIS 4,000 per month, which is due to go to NIS 6,000 sometime in the next two months. 

The article also fails to mention that Barghouti does not consider himself a murderer.

Let's go to the videotape. 



It's very harsh to wish for the death of another human being. But I wish for Barghouti's death. He should have been executed in the first place. If he starves himself to death, that's a fine outcome. He's a mass murderer who has vowed to continue to fight against Israel if he is ever - God forbid - released from prison.

Hamas Arch Terrorist: No Regrets for Murdering 67 Israelis Hamas terrorist Abdullah Barghouti, serving 67 life sentences in Israel, speaks out from his prison cell

A Hamas terrorist who engineered the deaths of 67 Israelis during the Second Intifada, also known as the Oslo War, has said that he has no regrets whatsoever over the Israeli blood he spilled.

The terrorist, Abdullah Barghouti, was sentenced to 67 life sentences for his role in the murders of Israelis in a string of suicide bombings, including the suicide attack at the Sbarrorestaurant in Jerusalem in 2001. In aninterview from his cell in an Israeli prison, which was broadcast on Hamas television, Barghouti said that he is in good health and that his morale is high.

"I do not regret the effort I made in the way of Allah," he said during the interview, which was translated by Arab affairs expert Dalit Halevi. "On the contrary, my heart and mind are filled with the grace of Allah, in hope, in optimism and full confidence that the victory of Allah and his salvation are close."

Last year it was speculated that Barghouti may be included in the Shalit deal, which saw Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit released from Hamas captivity in exchange for more than 1,000 terrorists. Barghouti was ultimately not included in the deal, but Ahlam Tamimi, the female terrorist who drove the suicide bomber to the Sbarro restaurant, was released as part of the deal. She was later rewarded by Hamas by being given a weekly talk show on its television network.

Commenting on the Shalit deal during the interview, Barghouti said that a year after the release of the prisoners who were exchanged for Shalit, Hamas must now act to complete the release of all prisoners, by kidnapping more Israeli soldiers to be used as bargaining chips.

Barghouti said in the interview that he has been working during his imprisonment on a two-part book which will be published in 2014. The book, he said, will describe his activities as a senior commander in Hamas’s military wing and will describe Hamas’s ideological perception.

It was revealed in September that Barghouti is one of many terrorists who regularly receive salaries from the Palestinian Authority. Barghouti reportedly pocketed $1,000 a month for the first 10 years in jail and has received an additional $500 a month starting from his 11^th year in jail.

A Channel 2 News report revealed that the PA, which has been screaming for foreign funds to stay solvent, spends six percent of its annual budget to pay $4.5 million a month to jailed terrorists and another $6.5 million to their families.
