Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah Party Claims To Have ‘Killed 11,000 Israelis'

http://www.newsweek.com/mahmoud-abbas-fatah-claims-killed-11000-israelis-ahead-elections-hamas-487525?rx=us

The political party of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas bragged about its killing of Israelis on Tuesday, in a bid to whip up support from voters ahead of October’s local and municipal elections throughout the Palestinian territories.

In a Facebook post, Abbas’s Fatah faction made the provocative claim that it had “killed 11,000 Israelis.” It does not note the timescale for the deaths and the figure could not be independently verified.

Abbas just admitted to the mass murder of 11,000 civilians.

Crickets from the BDS bigots because the victims don't matter.

Make no mistake about the bigots who always cry "war crimes" against Israel. The 11,000 murdered is legitimate armed resistance in their view. Neo-Nazis, Skinheads, KKK'ers, Stormfront believe the exact same thing.

And if you don't believe that, you're drinking the Hasbara Koolaid.
