Palestinians across Judea and Samaria and the Gaza Strip marked the death from cancer on Tuesday of arch-terrorist Nasser Abu Hamid with “Day of rage” protests and a general strike.
Abu Hamid co-founded the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade, which is aligned with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah faction, during the Second Intifada. In December 2002, he confessed in Jerusalem District Court to killing seven Israelis and received seven life sentences and 50 additional years’ imprisonment.
Abu Hamid died at Assaf Harofe Medical Center in Rishon Lezion after a lengthy battle with lung cancer. Since September, Palestinians had called for his release on medical grounds.
Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh accused Israel of “deliberate medical negligence,” while Hamas called for “a real escalation in the occupation prisons” in response to Abu Hamid’s death.
Fatah called for a general strike across cities in Judea and Samaria “in response to the crimes committed against Palestinian prisoners.”
Fatah “also called for a day of rage at contact points with the Israeli army,” official P.A. news outlet Wafa reported. JNS
I hope Ned Price will prevent the terrorists from carrying out such horrific plans.
We call for increased cigarette and tobacco exports into Gaza and reduced customs taxes on them.
No arab who is hurt in these protests should be allowed treatment in an Israeli hospital.
The pro-Arab self-appointed leftist supreme court of injustice would never allow that. In fact, they get priority.
This terrorist died of the same kind of cancer as McCain, the Queen and other wicked.
