Palestinians Dedicate Youth Camp to Terrorist Who Massacred 13 Israeli Kids

March 10, 2017

Friday, 10 March 2017 | The Palestine Liberation Organization is naming a new youth camp after a terrorist who led one of the deadliest terrorist attacks on Israeli soil, Palestinian Media Watch reported Sunday.

The PLO Supreme Council for Youth and Sports will launch the “Brothers of Dalal” youth camp next month, named for Dalal Mughrabi, a Fatah terrorist who led the 1978 Coastal Road massacre. The attack, which left 38 Israeli civilians dead—including 13 children—and 71 more injured, turned Mughrabi into a national hero among Palestinians with multiple schools, buildings, and streets in the West Bank [Judea and Samaria] bearing her name.

District Governor of Ramallah Laila Ghannam, a Palestinian Authority official, praised the effort and hailed Mughrabi, who died in a firefight with Israeli authorities, and other perpetrators of the 1978 massacre as “pure-hearted Martyrs.”

The PLO Supreme Council for Youth and Sports is led by Jibril Rajoub, a member of Fatah—the PA’s ruling party—who frequently promotes and endorses terrorism.

Mughrabi is often glorified by the PA. In commemorating the 52nd anniversary of its first terror attack against Israel earlier this year, Fatah honored Mughrabi along with founders of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad on its Facebook page. Days later, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas posed with a child who held a photo featuring Abbas and Mughrabi.

Official PA television broadcast a segment in 2013 referring to Mughrabi and other female terrorists as role models, an ideal also promoted by the “Sisters of Dalal”organization.

In 2010, the PA dedicated a square in the town of El Bireh in honor of Mughrabi.
