One person's Palestinian Arab savagery is another's political campaign

...The predictable next step, after the sacred canonization of yesterday's knife-wielding murderer, is likely to be a global campaign exploiting the usual allies, intellectuals and 'activists', urgently, angrily, righteously demanding freedom for this 'political prisoner' with the blood-drenched hands.

The murder of a sleeping Israeli teenager by means of an act of savage butchery is, predictably, hailed as an expression of some sick form of heroism in the circles that have elevated such barbarism to a way of life.

The author of the words below is Fawzy Barhoom, Hamas spokesman, writing on his Facebook page [Source: IDF Blog].

“Congratulations to the Palestinian West Bank hero who killed an Israeli soldier in Afula this morning... This is a heroic act of resistance showing that all methods of oppression and terror have not and will not succeed in stopping our people from carrying out jihad and resistance. We call on our people and the Palestinian youth to take part in the movement of the resistance, no matter the sacrifice.”

Barhoom of Hamas has a long history of lavishing praise on perverted acts of extreme violence carried out in the name of the values he and his cohort represent.

For instance, when eight unarmed high school boys in a Jerusalem seminary [background] were remorselessly gunned down by a Jerusalem Arab who had been a truck driver for a company that routinely made deliveries to their school, it was this same Barhoom who extravagantly praised the heroism of the killer. That was in 2008.

Puts him at the furthest extreme of the Palestinian Arab spectrum, right?

Not really. As politically incorrect as it may sound to say so, Barhoom accurately reflected widespread sentiment among Palestinian Arabs.

How widespread?
