Introduction:
The Palestinian Authority [PA] has named a summer camp for girls
after the first woman suicide bomber - Wafa Idris. Idris murdered 1
and injured over 150 in Jerusalem, when she blew herself up on
January 27, 2002. This is a continuation of PA policy of naming
educational programs, schools, and summer camps after terrorists,
including, suicide bombers.
The camp received UN funding through UNICEF.
The following is from the article that appeared in a PA daily:
“Yesterday, activities ended in the camp named after the Shahida
[Died for Allah] Wafa Idris, for girls in the city of Kalkiliya. The
camp was founded by the Scout general administration in the Ministry
of Youth and Sports. The camp was under the supervision of the
Scouts in the Kalkiliya Administration and about 100 girls from the
organizing committee of the city’s Scouts participated.
“…[At the closing ceremonies thanks were given including] to UNICEF
for its support of the camps.” [Al-Ayyam July 18, 2003] (PMW.ORG.IL
