Israels Homicidal Peace Partner

He was 76 years old.
Solomon had escaped Muslim persecution in Yemen, where the last remaining Jews live in a ghetto, only to be murdered by a Muslim terrorist in his own country.
At the end of last year, Solomons murderer, Abu Mohsin Khaled Ibrahim Jamal, was freed by Israel as a confidence-building measure to bring Mahmoud Abbas, the leader of the Palestinian Authority, to the negotiating table.
Most of the prisoners released along with Solomons murderer had also killed civilians; their victims included Steven Rosenfeld, an American immigrant, a mother of seven and a history professor.
The release of the murderers, negotiated by Kerry, was praised by a State Department spokeswoman as a positive step forward.
Mahmoud Abbas appeared together with Solomons murderer as well as two other killers and called them heroes and their release a day of our joy for our nation.
During his visit last year, Obama had told a handpicked Israeli audience, I genuinely believe that you do have a true partner in President Abbas. Obamas true partner refused to even show up for peace negotiations until the murderer of a 76-year-old gardener was released.
And Obama and Kerry backed Abbas demands.
