Two cowards stab a defenseless kid riding a bike. One gets hit by car running from cops, Abbas tells world he was "innocent" and murdered by Israeli cops. Except he's not dead and is about as far from innocent as a 13 year old can be. Perhaps Abbas feels a little guilty (if that's even possible) since his previous lies are what encouraged the douchebag (and the dozens of others) to go on a stabbing spree.
It reminds me of the Michael Brown incident. It's easy to rile people up because people
want to believe he was innocent because it fulfills their pre-existing narrative.
