"The Marty Roberts Show"

One more in our series of terrorist-murderers being honored by the Palestinian Authority, Israel’s alleged “moderate” “peace partners”.

This time, Palestinian Prime Minister Fayyad is naming a fencing tournament for young palestinians after the infamous Abu Jihad, one of the founders of Fatah and former sidekick to terrorist-murderer Yasser Arafat. Jihad’s greatest accomplishment was the planning of the worst terror attack in Israel’s history in which 37 civilians were murdered in a bus hijacking led by Dalal Mughrabi.

Oh, by the way, Mughrabi is the one who just had a town square in Ramallah named for HIM…

Peace now?…I don’t think so…

Terrorist-Murderer Abu Jihad...#2 to Yasser Arafat

Reprinted from Palwatch.org Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik

“The Baladna Club will hold the Shahid (Martyr) Abu Jihad Fencing Championship on [Palestinian] Prisoners’ Day and under the auspices of the Prime Minister [Fayyad]… in the club’s building located in the Shahid (Martyr) Yasser Arafat Center… The girls’ groups are [divided according to] age 13 – 20 and boys’ groups from age 16.”
[Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, April 13, 2010]

Honoring terrorists who have killed Israelis by naming sports facilities, tournaments and summer camps for Palestinian youth after the terrorists, is a policy of the Palestinian Authority, and part of its program to turn terrorists into heroes and role models for children. Palestinian Media Watch has documented this PA glorification of terrorists.
For more examples of Fayyad and Abbas honoring terrorists, see below.

Abu Jihad, honored through Fayyad’s sponsorship, was one of the founders of Fatah, and ran its terror activities starting in the mid-1960s. Second in command to Yasser Arafat, he headed the military wing of the PLO and served as deputy military commander of Fatah. Abu Jihad planned many major Fatah terror attacks, including the worst in Israel’s history, in which 37 civilians were murdered in a bus hijacking led by Dalal Mughrabi in 1978.
