The Palestinian Authority's (PA) official news agency, WAFA, and Mahmoud
Abbas' Fatah party glorified the two terrorists who killed five Israelis in
a Jerusalem synagogue last month, Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) reports.
Fatah's official Facebook page posted a picture of the two terrorists'
graves last Thursday and referred to the murderers as Shahids –
Martyrs.
"This is the place of eternal rest of Martyrs (Shahids)
Ghassan and Uday Abu Jamal of Jabel Mukaber in occupied Jerusalem, who
ascended [to heaven] a month and a half ago during an operation (terrorist
attack) at an occupation synagogue in occupied Jerusalem," the Fatah
Facebook page posting said.
Even though the terrorist attack occurred in the western part of
Jerusalem, Fatah still referred to the scene of the murder as
"occupied Jerusalem."
Two Palestinian terrorists from East Jerusalem attacked worshippers in
the synagogue with guns, knives, and axes Nov. 18. Four worshippers were
killed, along with a police officer, and seven civilians were injured.
The PA's WAFA news agency also honored the terrorists as martyrs in
reporting on their funerals.
This is just the latest example of explicit Palestinian Authority and
Fatah glorification of Palestinian terrorists who killed
Israeli civilians. In recent months, rising Palestinian incitement to
violence against Israeli Jews has been coupled with increased Palestinian
terrorist attacks.

Terrorism (IPT) report outlining recent Palestinian incitement and attacks.
But the latest glorification of cold-blooded killers comes as the PA is
renewing attempts to win international recognition for a Palestinian state
without negotiating a peaceful settlement.
A Washington Post Tuesday editorial criticized PA President Mahmoud Abbas's
diplomatic push as futile and counterproductive, citing his refusal to
respond to a U.S. proposal that envisions a Palestinian state based on
Israel's 1967 borders.
Instead, Abbas continues to ask the U.N. Security Council to force
Israel to withdraw from the West Bank in one year. Because of a likely U.S.
veto, it has no chance of being passed, the Post editorial said, and
it "wouldn't bring Palestinians any closer to statehood."
Washington insists that the draft is counterproductive and fails to
address Israel's security concerns. Britain also will not support the new
Palestinian resolution, Reuters reports.
Abbas fails to respond to a U.S. peace proposal while trying to force a
flawed unilateral move. All the while, his party and his government
continue to glorify terrorist killers. Somehow, the PA is still supposed to
represent a partner for peace.
