Abbas Pay-for-Slay Program Claims Three Members of a Family Celebrating the Birth of a Child
At 8:15 p.m. local time yesterday, a young Palestinian named Omar al-Abed logged on to his Facebook account.
“This is my will to you,” he wrote. “I am a young man, not even 20 years old. I have many dreams and ambitions. I know that with Allah’s help, they will all come true. I have loved life, and making people smile, but what kind of life is this? They kill our women and our young, they befoul our al-Aqsa and we slumber. Take your weapon and resist. They have declared a war on Allah. They have shut down al-Aqsa, and what’s your weapon? Mine is a knife, and my knife will answer the cry of al-Aqsa.”
