Reminder: Palestinian Authority, like Hamas, fully supports terror

Itamar Marcus and Ephraim D. Tepler  |

The Palestinian Authority continues to endorse terrorism against Israelis as Islamic religious acts. The PA's official daily elevated the terror-stabbing in Tel Aviv this week, which seriously injured an Israeli man in his thirties, to a supreme act in Islam.

The official daily called the terrorist a "Martyr," meaning that the stabbing and near-murder of an Israeli civilian is an ideal act desired by Allah, and being killed in the act makes the perpetrator a Martyr for Allah = Shahid.

Headline: Young man stabs Israeli in Tel Aviv and dies as a Martyr

An Israeli in his thirties was seriously wounded after being stabbed in the city of Tel Aviv. An armed Israeli shot the young man (i.e., the terrorist) under the pretense of his having carried out a "stabbing operation," causing him to die as a Martyr.

This is the message that the PA continues to disseminate through all its channels. Every terrorist killed by Israelis is doing the highest service of Islam. He is dying for the sake of Allah and thus reaches the elite status of Shahid, i.e. Martyr.

Meithalun Mayor Hamad Rabai'ah: "The young man who died as a Martyr was [PA] Preventive Security [Force] officer Hassan Ali Rabai'ah."

Father of terrorist Hassan Ali Rabai'ah: "I, my children, my brothers, and my sisters, we are all ready to be a sacrifice for Palestine. May Allah accept us together with [my son Hassan] as Martyrs. Allah willing, we will die as Martyrs. It is a great pride and honor for us to resist the occupation that has been crouching on our chest for more than 75 years (i.e., since the establishment of Israel)."
