Mahmoud Al-Habbash, who serves as senior advisor to PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas portrayed the massacre as an outcome that Israel itself provoked. He added, “There is an illusion among Israeli leaders that they can benefit strategically from these terrorist attacks that emerge from time to time. We hope that Australia’s (pro-Hamas) policies will not change because of this isolated incident, which is only a reaction to the brutality that has been committed by the Israeli government.”
PALWATCH The idea that Israel is actually the party responsible and that the murder of Jews overseas is just a reaction to Israeli policy serves the Palestinian Authority’s “Globalize the Intifada” campaign, and turns Jewish communities worldwide into legitimate targets. It normalizes violence against Jews wherever they may be and embeds it within a broader justification of supposed resistance and revenge.
Of course. Always the Jews fault.
