#3  The "good terrorists" have also declared him one of their superstars...

Killer of eight young men is Shahid

Mahmoud Abbas's official Palestinian Authority daily newspaper has honored the killer of the eight high school students gunned down this week with the status of Shahid - Holy Islamic Martyr.

In so doing, the PA is sending its people a straightforward message of support for the terror murders and the murderer. According to the PA interpretation of Islam, there is no higher status that a human being can achieve today than that of Shahid.

The official PA daily Al Hayat Al Jadida prominently placed a picture of the killer on the front page, with the caption, "The Shahid Alaa Abu D'heim." In a Page One article on the terror killings, his act is again defined as a "Shahada achieving" action.

This honoring of terror and terrorists by the PA has significant financial ramifications, particularly at this time. Last week the US Administration sent a request to Congress to allocate $150 million to the Palestinian Authority. In response to earlier PMW reports on the widespread Palestinian honoring of terror, Congress made it illegal for the US to give money to entities that "advocate" terror, as follows:

"[The US] shall terminate assistance to any individual, entity... which she has determined to be involved in or advocating terrorist activity." Congress further legislated that "none of the [US] ... assistance under the West Bank and Gaza Program may be made available for the purpose of recognizing or otherwise honoring individuals who commit, or have committed acts of terrorism."

-2008 Foreign Operations Bill Sec. 657.B - C.1

Since a society's honoring of terrorists is one of the greatest terror promotions, and as the budget for the PA newspaper comes from the PA's general budget, the incessant honoring of this and all recent terrorists by Abbas's PA as Holy Islamic Shahids should render the Palestinian Authority ineligible to receive any American money under the terms of US law.


Think that'll happen? Or will it be another Muzzie mulligan?
I'm betting on the mulligan.

#2  The silence is DEAFENING!

Where is the global, moral outrage?! These people are CELEBRATING the deaths of civilians. Students.

NO OTHER GROUP COULD GET AWAY WITH SUCH DESPICABLE, MORALLY DESTITUTE BEHAVIOR. But Paleos and Jews? Apparently that's easily understood worldwide: Paleos are held to a different (lower) set of moral standards and Jews, well, Jews are just.....Jews. They probably did something to deserve it.

#1  Rather reminiscent of another Palestinian celebration. Hunt them down and burn their bodies into ashes. Then I will pass out candies.
