Propaganda by Wife of Islamic Jihad Terrorist: Courtesy of the Guardian
February 23, 2012 13:20 by GuestPostThe case of Khader Adnan, an Islamic Jihad leader held in Israeli administrative detention captured the attention of the international media as his 66 day hunger strike brought him close to death. While a debate over the merits of administrative detention is legitimate, many media outlets portrayed Adnan as an innocent baker and potential martyr for the Palestinian cause, preferring to turn a blind eye to Adnan’s involvement in one of the most extreme terrorist organizations.
In this cross-post courtesy of CIF Watch, Israelinurse addresses The Guardian’s decision to allow Adnan’s wife a propaganda platform.
Islamic Jihad terrorist Khader Adnan, imploring Palestinians to launch suicide attacks
Articles penned by high-ranking members of terrorist organizations proscribed by the British government – and also by UK-based supporters of those organizations – are, as we all too well know, nothing new to The Guardian’s Comment is Free. Now we have the WAGs (wives and girlfriends) version of puff pieces whitewashing terror groups and their actions in the form of an article written by Randa Musa. (My husband, Khadar Adnan has shed a light on Israel’s disregard for human rights, Feb. 22).
Mrs Khader Adnan, as she is also known, seeks to inform readers about her husband’s supposed exposure of “Israel’s disregard for human rights”. With considerable drama she tells us that as a result of Adnan’s arrest last December she “would not be surprised if even our unborn baby which I now bear will also be affected”.
Randa Musa’s concern for human rights apparently does not extend to the trauma her husband’s terror group, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, has caused to the thousands of family members of those murdered or maimed in its car bombings, suicide bombings and other terror attacks.
In fact, she tries to pass Khadar Adnan off as a “student activist” which, to British readers probably conjures images of someone whose activities stretch to handing out flyers or drawing placards.
The truth is of course very different.
The Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s own website describes Adnan as a “leader” of the organisation on more than one occasion. Reuters described him as a “senior figure in the Islamic Jihad” in 2010 and AP as “a top Islamic Jihad leader” in 2005. The Gulf Daily News has him down as “West Bank spokesman of the militant Islamic Jihad group” whilst Middle East Online and IMEMC both describe him as an “Islamic Jihad spokesperson”.
And if there were any further doubts about Adnan’s terrorist ideologies and affiliations, they are quickly dispelled in this video from 2007 in which he solicits suicide bombers.
Apparently banking on her readers’ lack of geographic knowledge, Musa tells us that “life under Israel’s military occupation has turned our dream into a nightmare”. However, their village – Arraba – has in fact been under Palestinian Authority control since the Oslo Accords in the earlier part of the 1990s.

Centuries ago a man in England called Matthew Hopkins gave himself the epithet the Witchfinder General. He went around drowning vulnerable women on ducking stools. All those who floated were considered to be witches. Eventually somebody had the gumption to challenge him by asking him to demonstrate he wasn’t a witch. He quietly disappeared.
So when this Khader Adnan next asks who is going to blow themselves to smithereens, he should be challenged to show people how it is done.

A “palestinian” lying to gullible Westerners, with the connivance of a leftist moonbat rag? What a surprise. One must be mentally and morally sick to believe one word she says.

Can anyone tell me if there is so much evidence about who this man really is – if even his organization’s own website tells us who he is – why he was held only under “administrative detention”. Surely he could have been charged with murder and tried?

Stanley, see http://www.mfa.gov.il/MFA/Archive/Peace%20Process/1995/BACKGROUND%20INFORMATION%20ON%20ADMINISTRATIVE%20DETENTION
See specifically subsections (a) through (e) et seq.
Basically, it’s a security procedure designed to stop an imminent threat without revealing the source of the information.

Congratulations once again to the Guardian of free hatred. The Guardian of incitement. The Guardian of warmongering . How the editors must dread the prospect of peace in the Middle East! How they must fear the day when they will be called upon to explain to the Arab masses, after peace has come, why they fostered and encouraged those phony leaders who lied and exploited them for so long.

Sorry, Joseph, but your post implies that Arab masses don’t know they are being lied to and exploited. Most likely you think that if you write that Arab masses actually support terrorism and genocide, you’ll immediately be called a racist, so you must pretend they are also victims of it. This is the worst effect of political correctness: trading in reality in exchange for social approval.

When the day comes to resolve these types of issues… will there be mercy by the hand of their(Islamic Jihad’s) enemies?
This man (Khader Adnan) is only held under detention and not long term imprisonment. Those placed in stewardship of Israel, are very merciful. When it comes back to the owner (wether people as a majority or God) there is going to be retribution!
If anything… the radical “Islamic Jihad” would do better to pray to KEEP Zionists, for the people who elected them might not have in power, the same MERCIFUL ZIONIST government (Likud), when Israeli leadership changes!

Unfortunately Israel gave in, as it nearly always does, to pressure from despicable allies of jihad like the Guardian. Truth is Randa Musa should not be Adnan’s wife. She should be his widow.

Everybody who charges Israel with behaving badly – like Nazis behaved to Jews – forgets that the Jews of Europe never ran a war of total annihilation aims against any European government they lived under, and never ran a delegitimisation campaign against any European people. The Arabs since 1947 when they threatened for six months to fight any UN solution involving a partition set out to destroy Israeli state rights to self determination, have maintained a spiteful and violent war to destroy Israel and to revive Antisemitism. Well people get the Jews – and trades unions – they deserve.
Further with all the Moslem hype about humiliation and “ethnic cleansing” everybody forgets that in the immediate post Shoah years the Jews of the World were supremely angry and humiliated – justifiably at the loss of a third of World Jewry and saw the World as having defaulted on the deal to protect Jews if Jews accepted exile. It was not the Jewish people that broke this deal but the Tsarist Russians and the Nazi Germans.
Accordingly the Shoah created the biggest Zionist “told you so” in history and the Jewish people in Golah and Yishuv understood their only security in the foreseeable future was to secure their own sovereignty; and the proof is that since 1948 we have not lost a Jewish community. The kehillot of the Arab World who would have been killed if they could not have got out were evacuated to Israel if their families were not rich or connected enough to go elsewhere and ditto those of the late USSR. Booth these millions were threatened by the same sort of angry “kick the cat” nationalism that turned on the German, Russian and Polish communities.
