Murderers of 7 are Martyrs and heroes

On the anniversary of their terror attacks, Fatah honored suicide bombers Andalib Takatka and Fadi Al-Amoudi as Martyrs and heroes.Andalib Takatka killed 6 and wounded more than 80 when she blew herself up at the Mahane Yehuda market in Jerusalem in 2002.
Fadi Al-Amoudi killed 1 and wounded 3 when he detonated a bomb he was carrying at the Erez crossing at the Israeli-Egyptian border in 2004.
Fatah's Facebook administrator called terrorist Al-Amoudi "a hero" and referred to both these murderous attacks as "Martyrdom-seeking operations" in which "Zionists" were killed. Recently, Facebook removed Palestinian Media Watch's post that exposed hate speechon PA TV because Facebook's Statement of Rights and Responsibilities stipulates that "you will not post content that is hate speech" or "incites violence." However, Facebook is not applying this principle to Fatah's Facebook postings that glorify terrorist murderers.
Palestinian Media Watch has documented that Fatah has used its Facebook page to promote terror and glorify suicide bombers.
The following posts were all posted by Fatah's Facebook page administrator:
Fatah in Lebanon encouraged violence and terrorism by posting a picture of a mother dressing her young son with a suicide belt. The picture was accompanied by an imaginary conversation between the son who is being sent to his death and the mother encouraging it. "Why me and not you?" the child innocently asks his mother, who answers that she will continue to have more children "for the sake of Palestine." This terror promotion and glorification still appears on Fatah Lebanon’s Facebook page.
Fatah glorified two suicide terrorists who killed 6 Israelis, referring to them as “the Bride of Palestine” and “our hero” respectively. These two suicide bombers are still honored on Fatah’s Facebook page.Fatah paid tribute to suicide bomber Wafa Idris who killed 1 and injured over a hundred Israelis during her attack in Jerusalem in January 2002. Part of the text about the terrorist read:
"The hero whose name the Zionists will remember well and so will Palestinians; the hero who sacrificed herself and her body for Palestine and became a symbol of the struggle and of Palestinian loyalty through one of the most honorable Martyrdom-seeking operations."
The posts glorifying suicide bomber Idris still appear on Fatah’s Facebook page.
In addition, Fatah posted a picture of terrorist Dalal Mughrabi and a poem honoring her. Mughrabi was responsible for the most lethal terror attack in Israel's history when she led a group of terrorists who hijacked a bus and killed 12 children and 25 adults. Part of the poem read:

This is the Martyrdom-seeking hero Fadi Al-Amoudi."[Fatah's Facebook page, April 17, 2013]
