...against humanity on two accounts. Hamas has a greater desire to see Israel destroyed rather than to help Palestinians in Gaza. In the West Bank, the “more moderate” Mahmoud Abbas recently gave his strong approval for the naming of a square after a suicide bomber terrorist (Dalal Mughrabi) who was responsible for the deaths of 37 innocent Israeli civilians.

Convicted of the 1988 bombing of a Pan Am jet over Scotland - an attack which killed 270 people - al-Megrahi returned to a hero's welcome in Tripoli last August with Saif by his side.
