again presented as role model for
youth
by Itamar
Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik
The Palestinian Authority practice of
honoring Dalal Mughrabi and presenting her as a role model for youth
continues. In 1978, a group of terrorists led by Dalal Mughrabi
sailed from Lebanon to Israel to carry out a terror attack. They
hijacked a bus and killed 37 Israeli civilians.
The following is
the news report on the latest event named for
Mughrabi:
"The physical education
department at Al-Quds University in Abu Dis completed the 12th
educational [program] for its scouts team. It was held in cooperation
with the university, and under the auspices and with the support of
the [PLO´s] Supreme Council for Youth and Sports, at the Martyr
(Shahid) Salah Khalaf Center in Al-Fari´a, for 40 male and
female scouts...
Participants were divided into four small
groups, named for Martyrs: the Martyr Izz a-Din Al-Qassam group; the
Martyr Abd Al-Rahim Mahmoud group; the Martyr Bajes Abu Atwan group;
and the Martyr Dalal Mughrabi group." [Al-Hayat Al-
Jadida, May 2, 2012]
The Supreme Council for Youth and Sports,
which sponsored the tournament named after terrorists, is a PLO body,
whose members were approved last year by PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas
[Ma´an, Palestinian news agency, April 20,
2011].
Salah Khalaf (Abu Iyad) - a
founder of Fatah and head of the Black September terror group.
Attacks he planned included the murder of two American diplomats, as
well as the murders of 11 Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics in
1972.
