How A State Commits Suicide

IMRA reports

Secretary General of Hadash party proud of their terrorist candidate who "fought occupation" - Jerusalem attack killed 6

Ayman Auda, Secretary-General of the Hadash party tells a reporter from the top circulation Yediot Ahronot - for attribution - that the Hadash party considers recommending targets for terror attacks to be acceptable activity to be proud of.

[This item was buried on page 14 of the 31.10.08 Hebrew edition of Yediot Ahronot and appears to have failed to generate any interest or response.]

Here's the actual article:

Terrorist running for city council: Arab-Israeli woman jailed over Jerusalem market attack to compete in Sakhnin elections




Tagrid Saadi, a 28-year-old Arab-Israeli woman convicted of failing to prevent a terror attack in Jerusalem, is vying for a city council spot in the northern town of Sakhnin.

Saadi was detained immediately after a female suicide bomber detonated herself at Jerusalem's Mahane Yehuda market on April 12, 2002. The bombing killed six Israelis and wounded 60. Saadi was in contact with the cell commander, via the Internet, and was informed about the date of the attack...Saadi was sentenced to six years in prison, where she affiliated with Hamas and Islamic Jihad prisoners. She was released less than a year ago, and has now decided to enter politics.

In a conversation with Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper, Saadi did not express any regret for her actions. "I do not look back - I only look forward," she said.

A Hadash official [AL: in the Hebrew report - Ayman Auda, Secretary-General of the Hadash] told Yedioth Ahornoth that the party is proud of Saadi, because "she fought against the occupation, and continues to fight against the occupation...we have no faith in the court that sentenced her, as it is part of the Israeli establishment, and this court allows radical Jews to protest in Umm al-Fahm. She acted against occupation."


Now you know why Israel's national anthem is "Our Hope has not yet been lost..."

Not yet but maybe at some time...?
