IsraelÂ’s 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, Solomon’s 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 SolomonÂ’s 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 Solomon’s 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.” Obama’s 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 AbbasÂ’ demands.
