The vile Nasser Mashni has posted about one of his heroes – PFLP terrorist Ghassan Kanafani:
And who was this man who Nasser Mashni calls “brilliant” and with “integrity and revolutionary spirit”?
On May 30, 1972 three Japanese Red Army (JRA) terrorists working for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-External Operations attacked Israel’s international airport at Lod, now Ben Gurion Airport, with machine guns and hand grenades. They kill 26 people: one Canadian; 17 Christian pilgrims from Puerto Rico; and eight Israelis, including biophysicist Aharon Katzir, considered a candidate for president of Israel.
While there is no smoking gun that Kanafani was directly involved with the operational aspects of this attack (like selecting the targets, training the gunmen, supplying their weapons or approving the operation beforehand), his office “dispassionately bragged of the PFLP’s role” in the massacre. What’s more, even anti-Israel website Samidoun admits he worked directly with Fusako Shigenobu, a co-founder of the JRA.
CAMERA quotes a now-deleted Ha’aretz article, which claims that there were pictures published in Beirut newspapers showing Kanafani in his office with the participants in the Lod massacre. One can speculate why they deleted this. But whether or not this actually happened is irrelevant to his culpability in publicizing and legitimizing one of the worst massacres of civilians in Israel’s history.
And this is the man who Nasser Mashni praises: the official spokesman and chief propagandist for a terrorist organization that massacred civilians, whose office bragged about its role in the slaughter, and who worked directly with the co-founder of the group that carried it out.
When someone tells you who their heroes are, believe them. Especially when they also have a criminal record involving beating a child with a wooden axe handle, shoving him into the boot of a car, driving him to an abandoned paddock and threatening to break his legs.
Oh, such revolutionary spirit!
