Abbas, a hypocrite like Arafat

PA Sees Dimona Terrorists as Holy Martyrs

Al-Hayat al-Jadeeda newspaper: "The executors of the operation died as martyrs..."

Al-Ayam: "Dimona: An Israeli Woman was Killed in a Bomb Operation in the Commercial Center; the Two Perpetrators Died as Martyrs."

Palestinian Media Watch notes that the term "martyr" places the terrorists on the highest level in Islam - a far cry from the formal criticism expressed by Abbas. A "martyr" is also looked upon as a hero and a model to imitate, especially among the youth.

PMW concludes: "It is true that terrorists have always been called martyrs, but the significance of the latest reports is that in the midst of the renewal of a peace process, the terrorists continue to receive the supreme badge of honor by the Palestinian Authority itself."
