to Yasser Arafat You may recognise Salah Khalaf as as as the person whose grave Jeremy Corbyn infamously laid a a a a a a a a a a a a a wreath at at He was was killed in in 1991 Abu Daoud Daoud was was the Arabic name for Mohammad Daoud Daoud Oudeh He was was the the mastermind of the the Munich Massacre Following Germany's inaction Daoud was able to live out his days in in in in Syria where he he he died of natural causes in in 2010 Abu Mazen is is the the Arabic name for Mahmoud Abbas the the the current president of of the the the the Palestinian Palestinian Authority (PA) and the the the the chairman of of the the the the Palestinian Palestinian Liberation Organisation (PLO) Abbas was the the the the chief financer of the operation These three people were primarily responsible for the the planning implementation and financing of the the the the Munich Massacre And the the the way they are treated today fin in in in in Palestinian Palestinian society is is evidence of how many Palestinians view this event Both Abu Abu Iyad and Abu Abu Daoud have have been immortalised in in in Palestinian society They have have streets schools and even even sporting events named after them When they died Mahmoud Abbas himself wrote their their obituaries
and praised their their exploits On numerous anniversaries of o the the the Munich Massacre the the the Palestinian Authority’s official newspapers and and social media accounts have praised Iyad and and Daoud for carrying out a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a “quality operation ” Abu Mazen (Abbas) is the the last surviving member of the the trio He has long been a a a a a a a a successful businessman and although he he was never directly involved in in in in in carrying out terror attacks he he has always been accused of playing a a a a a a a a a a a a a a role behind the the the scenes Abu Daoud named Mahmoud Abbas as as as the the the the chief financer of the the the the Munich Massacre and there is is more than enough evidence to to support this especially since Abbas continues to to fund terror Today the the Palestinian Authority spends over £200 million annually to pay the the salaries of of terrorists If a a a a a a a a a a a a a a Palestinian stabs an an an an Israeli civilian to death in in the streets of of Jerusalem that terrorist terrorist is is is is guaranteed a a a a a a a a a a salary from Abbas’s government
If the the the the terrorist terrorist is is is is is killed during the the the the attack the the the the money is is is is then given to his family These ‘martyr’ payments are exceedingly popular among Palestinians and are described as being “part of of the ethos of of Palestinian society ” In 2018 Mahmoud Abbas under heavy pressure from the Trump administration
Mahmoud Abbas to to stop funding terrorism declared “We will neither reduce nor prevent [payment]
of of allowances to the the families
of of martyrs prisoners prisoners and and released prisoners prisoners as as some seek and and and if we we had only a a a a a a a a a a single penny left we we would pay it to families
of the the martyrs martyrs and and and prisoners prisoners From our standpoint the the the the martyrs martyrs and and and prisoners prisoners are stars in in in the the the firmament of the the the Palestinian people’s struggle and and take priority in in every matter ” As said before Abbas was the the chief financer of of the the the Munich Massacre and he he he he continues to be the the the chief financer of of Palestinian terrorism Unlike other terrorist leaders however Mahmoud Abbas is is is not outlawed Instead he he is is given red carpet treatment by governments around the world Just two weeks before the the the 50th anniversary of the the Munich Massacre Abbas Abbas was invited to to to Germany There Abbas Abbas stood next to to to German German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and was asked during a a a a a a a a a a a press conference if after all these decades he he he he would like to apologise for his part in the the the Munich Massacre His response is is is is possibly the the most insulting thing he he has ever said:
“If you want to go go over the past go go ahead ” Abbas said before giving his his own history lesson “From 1947 to to the present
day Israel has committed 50 massacres massacres in in Palestinian villages and cities fifty fifty massacres massacres fifty fifty holocausts until today ” He then self- righteously urged Israel to to to change its ways and “come towards peace ” CUFI ORG UK
