The New Yorker, NYT, Foreign Policy are whitewashing Palestinian terror – I have seen no evidence that al-Sheikh has ever changed his terrorist ways. I have read no statements of remorse or regret from him for his role in the King George Street slaughter. | The Jerusalem Post

Palestinian Authority (PA) official Hussein al-Sheikh is “tall and affable,” according to a glowing feature article about him in the new issue of Foreign Policy. Al-Sheikh, a top candidate in the running to succeed PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas, “wears finely tailored suits;” he’s “pragmatic;” and he “urges cooperating, not clashing, with Israel,” the authors asserted.
