PA honored the killers of 238 Israelis during Ramadan

As a major focus of its Ramadan activities, the Palestinian Authority chose to honor and glorify terrorist murderers.

In all, 22 terrorist murderers who killed 238 Israelis were glorified, along with numerous other terrorists who caused injuries. Those honored included suicide bombers, bomb makers, hijackers, snipers, stabbers, and planners of terror attacks. Palestinian Media Watch has reported that many of them have been honored numerous times in the past for their terror attacks.

Terrorists responsible for horrific attacks were honored, including Dalal Mughrabi, whose bus hijacking left 37 killed, Abdallah Barghouti, who planned and made explosives for suicide bombings that killed 67, Raed Al-Houtari, who recruited a suicide bomber for the Dolphinarium discotheque suicide bombing that killed 21 young people and others. The PA’s terror glorification during Ramadan was not related to Israel's release of 26 terrorists from prison.

Most days during Ramadan, PA Minister of Prisoners' Affairs Issa Karake and other officials made at least one publicized visit, sometimes televised, to the home of one of the terrorists. PA TV had numerous programs honoring terrorists and Fatah honored terrorists by posting their pictures on Facebook, glorifying the terrorists and their terror attacks.

PA TV broadcast the words Tayseer Al-Bardini, member of the Fatah leadership, about the visits and gatherings in honor of the terrorists, because the PA "extols" the acts of terror they committed:

PA Minister of Prisoners' Affairs, Issa Karake said:
