“Palestine correspondent” for the Nation, and one of Time magazine’s “100 Most Influential People,” Mohammed el-Kurd sent shock waves through Twitter with his recent rant glamorizing the Second Intifada, a five-year-long campaign of violence in which terrorist organizations such as Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad slaughtered more than 1,000 Israeli civilians.

To el-Kurd, the bloodshed was commendable because it “forced Zionists to live fearfully, giving them a dose of their own poison.” He brags, “Allegedly, an estimate of 300k settlers left back to where … they came from during that period,” as if ethnic cleansing of “settlers” is something to be cheered.
