Propaganda by Wife of Islamic Jihad Terrorist: Courtesy of the Guardian

February 23, 2012 13:20 by

Randa Musa makes the ridiculous claim that Administrative Detention is “part of an immoral policy used to keep Palestinians in a state of perpetual poverty and under-development”. In fact it is a means used by many democratic human rights-respecting countries around the world including the United States and the United Kingdom.

Despite having a degree in Islamic Law, Musa displays her ignorance of other forms of law when she states that:

When a military commander issues an order for administrative detention, no evidence is produced. No charges are brought against the victims, and the occupation has no obligation to give reasons for the detention. This is by no means a legal mechanism. It is simply an arbitrary draconian measure used to inflict psychological and physical harm on its victims. When they are fortunate enough to be brought before a judge, he can detain them for periods of six months that can be extended indefinitely.

In fact, the laws of Administrative Detention require that the detainee be brought before a judge within a short period of time. Detentions must be based upon evidence and all detainees – including members of terrorist organizations – have Habeas Corpus rights before the High Court of Justice.

Musa states that “the occupation has decided under pressure to free my husband in April” (emphasis added) whereas in fact Adnan’s detention was due to come to an end on April 17th in any case.

This self-described “devoted wife” is of course no less a propagandist for Islamist terror than her husband. Her concern for human rights, “freedom and dignity” is not universal and certainly does not apply to the ultimate right – the right to life – which her husband and his fellow PIJ members seek to deny Israelis.

She is also apparently prepared even to use her own children in furthering the Islamist cause. The picture illustrating Musa’s article is captioned as showing her daughter holding “a picture of her father, Khader Adnan, who is on hunger strike”.

The caption omits the fact that the child is also holding the flag of Islamic Jihad – a movement well-known for its indoctrination of children with hatred and glorification of terrorism.

In indulging its now infamous addiction to terrorist chic, the Guardian long since ditched its liberal credentials to such an extent that it is not ashamed to publish unchallenged fact-free articles by terrorists and their collaborators.

One would, however, have hoped that a terrorist organisation’s exploitation of a child for propaganda purposes would have been a step too far even for the Guardian. Apparently not.

    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?

    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.

    Hello, Neat post. There’s a problem together with your site in internet explorer, might test this? IE still is the market chief and a good part of other people will pass over your fantastic writing because of this problem.
