One of Israel's most vicious enemies, Popular Front for the Liberation [sic] of Palestine [sic] leader George Habash, entered eternity by way of a massive and sudden heart attack in Jordan Saturday night.
The man, described by the BBC as "a Christian, an Arab nationalist and a Marxist," was also a medical doctor – sworn to save lives, not to take them.
As PFLP founder and leader, Habash oversaw the hijacking of airliners in the 1970s as well as an attack on Israel's Ben Gurion International Airport in 1972, during which 27 people were murdered.
His organization has claimed credit for the perpetration of numerous other acts of terrorism against Jews down the decades.
Even though Habash denounced the Israeli-"Palestinian" "peace process," his fellow terrorist, PLO/PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas - the man US President George W. Bush vouches for as "sincere about making peace with Israel" - Sunday declared three official days of mourning for the PFLP chief.
According to the BBC, despite his group's waning influence since the 1990s, the "Christian" remained "a fierce opponent of Israel until the end."
Now dead, he is in the presence of the Lord God of Israel, the Judge of all the earth.
