Headline: Huntley: Verdict affirms blood-soaked history of Palestinian terrorism
by Steve Huntley
Intifada is the name commonly given to the wave of Palestinian terrorism that engulfed Israel in the last decade, killing, maiming, wounding and traumatizing thousands of people… The jury verdict in New York affirmed what had been obvious from the start: The wretched campaign of murder and mayhem was supported, aided and abetted by the Palestinian Authority, the governing body for Palestinians in the disputed territories, and its parent organization, the Palestine Liberation Organization. (PMW Ed. Note: Palestinian Media Watch's documentation of the PA leadership's conduct during the period in question and later statements by PA leaders was a vital part of the prosecution's preparation for the court case.)
And let’s not forget that the victims included Americans. This verdict came in a civil suit filed under the Anti-Terrorism Act, that gives U.S. citizens harmed by international terrorism the right to seek redress in federal court. This lawsuit was brought on behalf of 33 Americans killed and more than 450 injured in suicide bombings and shootings from 2002 to 2004…
Under the leadership of Abbas, Palestinian official media, schools and society in general continue to glorify terrorists and dream of a Middle East without Israel on the map. A recent Facebook posting by Abbas’ Fatah party advocated rocket attacks and the “end of Israel,” according to the monitoring group Palestinian Media Watch.
