Headline: “Yes, [PA Chairman] Mahmoud Abbas, you incite terror”
“’Twenty five schools in the PA territories are named after terrorists.’ Itamar Marcus, Director of Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) said recently in an interview. ‘Three of them are named after Dalal Mughrabi (i.e., terrorist responsible for most lethal terror attack in Israeli history)’ who we mentioned above. Marcus, who has monitored the official media and textbooks of the PA for many years, suggested investigating the surroundings in which the young terrorists are growing up. And it is not only the local media; on the PMW website you can find official PA sports events that are named after Martyrs. Marcus told of a sport competition for youth held recently that was named after Ahmad Manasreh (i.e., terrorist who stabbed 2 Israelis). And exactly what message does a Palestinian boy or girl absorb when they wave around a trophy with the name of a terrorist their age on it? The PA is behind this incitement and it needs to take responsibility for the results."

Dalal Mughrabi led the most lethal terror attack in Israel’s history, known as the Coastal Road massacre, in 1978, when she and other Fatah terrorists hijacked a bus on Israel's Coastal Highway, killing 37 civilians, 12 of them children, and wounding over 70.
Pisgat Ze'ev stabbing attack - On Oct. 12, 2015, two Palestinian terrorists, Hassan Manasrah (15) and Ahmad Manasrah (13), stabbed Yossef Ben Shalom (21) in the Pisgat Ze'ev neighborhood of East Jerusalem, and then repeatedly stabbed Naor Ben Ezra (13) who was riding his bike. Hassan Manasrah was killed while fleeing the scene, and Ahmad Manasrah was shot by Israeli police and hospitalized. Both victims of the attack were seriously injured. The terrorists, who were cousins, came from the nearby Palestinian neighborhood of Beit Hanina.
