From Abbas praises ‘our hero martyrs and prisoners of war’
Concluding his comments to the UN General Assembly, Abbas rejects criticism of the Palestinian Authority for paying monthly stipends to terrorists, saying that Israel applies a double standard to Palestinians and Israelis.
“Why is the man who killed Rabin praised when our martyrs are rejected,” he asks, referring to Yigal Amir, who was vehemently castigated by the vast majority of Israelis from the entire political spectrum.
“I pay tribute to our hero martyrs and prisoners of war,” he says.
