Several weeks ago, Arutz Sheva took a look inside the political history of the PA\'s man in Jerusalem, Sari Nusseibeh, to determine whether or not he was truly a \"moderate\" as claimed by many left-wing Israeli politicians including Foreign Minister Shimon Peres, who once called Nusseibeh \"courageous.\" In a study released today by Palestinian Media Watch (PMW), Itamar Marcus documents Nusseibeh\'s use of \"moderate\" language during diplomatic encounters in English, while he continues to support terrorism and anticipate Israel\'s destruction when speaking in Arabic.
Marcus obtained the text from an interview with Nusseibeh on Al Jazeera TV, together with a Hamas leader and a mother of a suicide terrorist, in which he expresses admiration for terrorists and their families.
\"Praise is due to this woman [the suicide bomber\'s mother], and to every Palestinian mother, and to every Palestinian female resistance fighter and Jihad fighter on this land,\" said Nusseibeh.
Marcus also obtained a copy of the main graphic in an official student calendar from Nusseibeh\'s university, Al-Quds. The graphic, which appears on every page of the calendar and on the back cover, is a map of Israel encircled by the Islamic moon and swords. The encircling of all of Israel represents Islamic “Palestine” replacing the entirety of Israel, through the sword. The calendar’s dedication on page 1 continues the violent themes:
\"[Dedicated]... to the mothers who stand firm, the believing women who received the funerals not by collapsing, but with deep belief and acceptance of fate and even with cries of joy …to the pure, who stand today despite their poverty, their lack of means, and their disgrace, stand erect and unwavering in the face of the American evil and those who aid it, because they know that the arrogance of heresy can be bent only through Jihad and Istishhad. [Istishhad means to Seek Death for Allah, and is also used to define suicide bombers.]\"
Marcus also notes that a recent petition signed by Nusseibeh, which was published in newspapers worldwide, calls for a halt to suicide bombings in Israel because they are \"politically damaging\" and not because they are immoral. Nowhere does the petition explicitly condemn suicide attacks.
