Official PA Daily Glorifies Terrorist Leader in Cartoon
Cartoon published in the official PA daily
The cartoon shows terrorist Khalil Al-Wazir “Abu Jihad,” who was responsible for the murder of 125 people, wearing a uniform with a Palestinian flag on the sleeve. In the background are the silhouettes of the PA map of “Palestine” that presents all of Israel together with the PA areas as “Palestine,” rifle barrels, an upraised fist possibly holding a rock, and a mosque.
Text on cartoon: “To our heroic prisoners,
This willpower is not undermined and will not be undermined either. This is determination and will to continue the fighting and self-defense with all means (i.e., Palestinian term that also refers to the use of violence and terror). This is everyone’s motto.
[Khalil] Al-Wazir [‘Abu Jihad’] during the siege of Beirut,
Palestine 1936 – Tunisia 1988”
