The Jerusalem Post, 11 June 2013
Sir – The editorial “Rami Hamdallah?” (June 6), asks what
possessed US Secretary of State Joh Kerry to praise the appointment of Rami
Hamdallah as the prime minister of the Palestinian Authority. PA President Mahmoud Abbas for appointing Rami Hamdallah as prime minister is unfortunate. Hamdallah is president of An-Najah University in Nablus, a hotbed of anti-Semitism and hatred for Israel and the US, to lead the Palestinian government.
At Hamdallah’s university, an art exhibition was mounted
honoring the slaughter by a Palestinian Arab suicide bomber of women, men,
children, and entire families eating pizza in the heart of Jerusalem. The artists had constructed a replica of the
Sbarro Pizzeria, site of the massacre.
Visitors pushed to see realistically sculpted body parts and
pizza slices strewn throughout an environment set for a performance
artwork. Wearing a terrorist’s military
uniform and black mask, the performance artist entered the mock pizzeria under
a sign “Kosher Sbarro” and set off a simulated explosion to the cheers of the
crowd. Upon entering and leaving, the visitors enthusiastically wiped their
feet on Israeli and American flags used as doormats.
The An-Najah art exhibit reveals the true beliefs of
“moderate peace partners” Abbas and Hamdallah.
Kerry needs to acknowledge this dangerous change of guard in Ramallah as
the enemy of peace.
