Palestinian Minister of Justice incites to murder Israelis and to hate Americans
... By Itamar Marcus, Palestinian Media Watch Bulletin, November 19, 2003.
From the article: "Nahidh Muneer Al-Ris, the new Palestinian Minister of Justice, has a long record of hateful incitement, including incitement to murder Israelis through suicide terrorism. He distorts Jewish history in order to deny Israel's right to exist, and de-legitimizes Israel's existence as a state with expressions like the "occupation" 50 years ago.
In addition he has a history of hateful incitement towards the US and its political and Christian leaders. Bush and Rumsfeld, he calls "bloodthirsty beasts" and he repeatedly libels American Evangelical Christians, attributing to them deep hatred of Muslims.
In addition, Al-Ris recently participated in a ceremony in a summer camp - named for a 17- year-old girl suicide bomber. PMW will continue to monitor the actions and behavior of the new Justice Minister, to determine to what degree his behavior as Justice Minister reflects his hate beliefs.

Also from the article: "It is noteworthy that an individual with such outspoken hatred of the US has been appointed to such a senior PA position. While his hatred of the US certainly follows the official PA ideology, which even promoted murder of US soldiers in Iraq through its controlled media, senior PA officials are usually more discreet. As a rule, Ministers do not express American hatred publicly, so as not to endanger US political and financial support.
It is thus surprising that the new PM, Ahmad Qarie, chose such an outspoken terror supporter and America hater for a senior position in his cabinet." |
