Dirty Little Secrets
Palestinians Still Glorify Terrorists

Discussion Board on this DLS topic
Although Palestinian politicians are making loud noises about peace and
negotiations with Israel, the Arab language Palestinian media is still praising
terrorists. The February 25 terrorist bombing in Israel was vigorously condemned
by Palestinian leaders. But in the Palestinian media, the suicide bomber was
praised as a “martyr.” If Palestinians have any regrets about the attack at all,
it’s the “unfortunate timing.” After all, Palestinian leaders are working to
extract several billion dollars of aid from the United States and European
countries. The February 25th bombing cast into doubt the sincerity of
Palestinian peace efforts. Thus the ease with which the Palestinian media
praised the killer, but deplored his timing. The Palestinians feel beaten by
Israeli counter-terrorist efforts, but not defeated. The suicide bombers will be
back, and the English and Arab language Palestinian pronouncements will be in
sync once more.
