Israel Matzav

I hope he dies. I hope he dies soon. I'm waiting for him to die

The 'Palestinian' newspaper Maan reports that 'a Palestinian with Jordanian citizenship' is on a hunger strike and has been hospitalized. They give the man's name as Abdallah Barghouti, and mention that he is serving 67 life terms in an Israeli prison - the longest sentence of any prisoner. He is demanding that he be transferred to a Jordanian prison to serve out his sentence (like Ahlam Tamimi?).

What the article fails to mention is why Abdullah Barghouti was sentenced to such a long prison sentence. It says "A Hamas leader, Barghouthi was convicted of involvement in multiple attacks in Israel." 'Involvement' is an understatement. Barghouti was Hamas' master bomb maker. Among others, he made the bomb that blew up the Sbarro restaurant in Jerusalem 12 years ago next month.

The article also fails to mention that your tax dollars are paying him a salary of NIS 4,000 per month, which is due to go to NIS 6,000 sometime in the next two months.

The article also fails to mention that Barghouti does not consider himself a murderer.

Let's go to the videotape.



It's very harsh to wish for the death of another human being. But I wish for Barghouti's death. He should have been executed in the first place. If he starves himself to death, that's a fine outcome. He's a mass murderer who has vowed to continue to fight against Israel if he is ever - God forbid - released from prison.
