Palestinian terrorist Muhannad Halabi, who fatally stabbed 41-year-old Nehemia Lavi and 21-year-old Aharon Bennett and wounded two others, including a toddler, last month in Jerusalem, had a soccer tournament named after him by the Yasser Arafat Youth Centre in Jenin.
Palestinian Media Watch first reported the Centre’s decision on Nov. 4, via the official Palestinian Authority (PA) newspaper Al-Hayat Al-Jadida.
Deemed a martyr for his murder of Israeli civilians, the 19-year-old Halabi has also been honoured in other ways, including the Palestinian Authority naming a street after him, Abbas’ Fatah movement reportedly bringing soil from the Al-Asqa mosque to Halabi’s grave (so he could “hug the soil for which he died”), and the PA Bar Association awarding him an honorary law degree.
Palestinian Media Watch regularly documents how Palestinian Fatah and PA institutions openly glorify terrorists.
