“Don’t tell it - show it,” is a golden rule in marketing. With that in mind, you could say PA Chairman Abbas has a funny way of showing it.
 
While Abbas recently proclaimed to Israeli TV viewers that he “extends his hand in peace” to Israelis, his own Fatah movement raises its hands in honor of suicide bombers who have killed Israelis.
 
Fatah this week glorified two of its female suicide bombers who in total killed 8 and wounded over 100 Israelis in 2002. On Facebook, Fatah posted their pictures and referred to one as “hero” and the other as “bride of Palestine.” Both posts ended with the praise:
 
“Glory and eternity to our righteous Martyrs"
 

Andalib Takatka detonated her suicide bomb on Jaffa Road in Jerusalem on April 12, 2002, killing 6 and wounding more than 80.
 
Ayyat Al-Akhras was the youngest female Palestinian suicide bomber (aged 17) and detonated her bomb near a Jerusalem supermarket on March 29, 2002, killing 2 and wounding 28.
 
The following are Fatah’s posts on Facebook glorifying the suicide bombers:

Glory and eternity to our righteous Martyrs
We remain loyal to the path”
