Elder of Ziyon
It appears that he had also shot at an Israeli bus two days ago.
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine says that he was one of their members.
This marks two PFLP members killed in two days, the other being the 14-year old Omar Lotfi Khumour. Both of them, as well as the 15 year PFLP "comrade" Adam Ayyad, wrote wills before being killed, indicating that in all of these cases they planned to die.
The PFLP is a secular, socialist organization. The members who write these wills are not religious Muslims. They are not aiming to reach paradise and cavort with 72 virgins.
Yet they are no less fanatic than Islamic Jihad or Hamas.
From the right or the left, Palestinianism is a death cult. It praises death, it encourages dying, and becoming a martyr is not a religious obligation - it is a political obligation.
The upsurge of attacks in recent months had been initially attributed to new groups, like the "Lion's Den". Then Islamic Jihad apparently became jealous and started ramping its own attacks up, and taking credit. Now the PFLP is joining the fray. And there have been lots of attackers who are from Fatah as well.
Ideologically, they have nothing in common.
The common denominator is a fanatical hate for Jews and the Jewish state.
As we know, antisemitism requires no consistent ideology, philosophy or creed. It stands alone as the one hatred that crosses all populations and groups. And the West Bank is now a microcosm of worldwide antisemitism.
