Wouldbe Palestinian state celebrates a killer

Wafa Idris was the first Palestinian female suicide bomber. She blew herself up at a shoe store killing one Israeli and wounding 150 others.

And now a Fatah-affiliated youth center, near Ramallah, has named a sporting event for youth in her honor. Yeah.

This is the stuff you rarely hear about outside of Israel: “the long [Palestinian] history of glorifying terrorists and presenting them as role models for children.”

J’accuse!

Spanish journalist Pilar Rahola, on accepting the ADL’s Daniel Pearl Award:

I accuse journalists and intellectuals of remaining silent before the barbaric oppression of millions of women, condemned to live under medieval laws which amputate them as human beings. No demonstrations, no Obama declaration, no boycott, nothing. These victims interest nobody, perhaps because Israelis or Americans cannot be blamed for their misfortune. And only anti-Americanism and anti-Israelism mobilizes their selective ire.

“I accuse journalists and intellectuals of remaining silent before the permanent slaughter of hundreds of Muslims, victims of Islamic bombs, whose plight interests nobody because one cannot put the blame on Jews nor on Americans.

“I accuse journalists and intellectuals of criminalizing Israel to the point of delirium, and of helping to create a mentality that is understanding with Palestinian terrorism.”

Millions of oppressed women. Ignored.
