Hamas to Abbas: 'Abducting soldiers is at the heart of our culture'
2013-05-30
[IsraelTimes] Kidnapping Israelis is a source of pride, not shame, declares front man in rebuttal to PA president's speech

The kidnapping of IDF soldiers is at the heart of Paleostinian culture, a military Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, front man said on Tuesday, responding to a speech by Paleostinian Authority President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas
... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial...
in which Abbas called such abductions alien to Paleostinian norms.

"Those who refuse to abduct Zionist soldiers renounce the pain and suffering of thousands of prisoners yearning for freedom," wrote Abu-Ubaida, a front man for the Izz ad-Din Al-Qassam Brigades, on his Facebook page, negating the words used by Abbas in his speech.

"Operations to capture enemy soldiers and trade them for our heroic prisoners are at the heart of our people's culture, and are a source of pride for them and their resistance," Abu-Ubaida added.

At the "Breaking the Impasse" session closing the World Economic Forum on the Middle East and North Africa in Jordan on Sunday, Abbas pleaded with Israel to release pre-Oslo Paleostinian security prisoners. He criticized Israel for only releasing large numbers of prisoners to secure the release of kidnapped Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, who was held hostage by Hamas in Gazoo for five years. The Paleostinians he spoke for were not capable of or interested in carrying out such actions, he said. "Do you want us to abduct other Shalits?" Abbas asked. "This is not part of our culture. We cannot do this."

Meanwhile,
...back at the Senate, Odius Sepulcher called for war against the Visigoths...
responding to a proposal by Secretary of State John F. I was in Vietnam, you know Kerry
Former Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, self-defined war hero, speaker of French, owner of a lucky hat, conqueror of Cambodia, and current Secretary of State...
to boost the Paleostinian economy through a mega-investment of $4 billion and jump-start peace talks with Israel, Hamas front man Fawzi Barhoum said the plan merely "markets an illusion, deceives public opinion and wastes time for the benefit of the Zionist entity."

"Everyone should beware [of this plan] and not cooperate with it, so long as American administrations promote these kinds of misleading plans under the guise of which the Israeli occupation completed all of its hard boy Judaizing racist projects," said Barhoum.

Abbas's speech was not attacked only by the Islamic right, however. The pan-Arabist daily Al-Quds Al-Arabi dedicated its editorial on Tuesday to tearing the speech apart as well.

"Paleostinian President Mahmoud Abbas uses every opportunity to stress his friendship with Israel, his care for its security, and his readiness to negotiate with it," read the editorial.

"Moreover, he said that settlers and Israeli soldiers are not kidnapped, referring to the kidnapping of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit in the Gazoo Strip. President Abbas forgets that this kidnapping brought about the release of more than 1,000 Paleostinian prisoners, a large number of whom belong to Fatah."

#1  Reply should be:
"Our culture is to shoot 25 Paleo prisoners for every day one IDF soldier is held captive. Your move"
