The truth, of course, is quite different from what the NYT editor added. In fact,
Barghouti was the leader and commander of the Al-Aqsa Brigades, the key
terror component of Fatah that carried out many terror attacks throughout the
Second Intifada. He was also the leader of the umbrella organization of the
Islamic and national forces, which oversaw the entire range of terror activity
during those years, and served as coordinator between the different
organizations. Barghouti was also responsible for inciting violence and terror
before the Second Intifada (for example, during the eight days of violence and
terror throughout the West Bank in mid-May 2000).
According to the court at his trial, Barghouti operated under the direct
command of Yasser Arafat and was beyond any doubt directly responsible for
murderous activity. He was convicted of terror attacks that were performed
following his direct orders, in which 5 people were murdered:
1. Yosef Habi (52, from Netanya), Eli Dahan (53, from Lod), and policeman
Salim Barakat (33, from Yarka) were killed and many people were injured in
an attack at the Seafood Market restaurant in Tel Aviv on March 5, 2002.
2. Yoela Chen (45, from Givat Zeev) was murdered in an attack at a gas station
near the entrance to Givat Zeev on January 15, 2002.

3. The Greek monk Georgios Tsibouktzakis (36, from the St. George
Monastery) was murdered in an attack on the road between Jerusalem and
Maale Adumim on June 12, 2001.
In addition, the court said that Barghouti was morally responsible for many
other terror attacks in which many more Israelis were murdered.
