While the Jews buried their dead

While the Jews buried their dead on Sunday, the 'Palestinians' dedicated a square in the town of El Bireh - next to Ramallah - to the memory of Dalal al-Mughrabi, the terrorist who led the squad that perpetrated the Coastal Road Massacre on March 11, 1978.
Palestinians from President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah faction named a town square on Sunday after the leader of a 1978 bus hijacking in which 35 Israelis were killed.

The ceremony, in Al-Bireh, a town near the Palestinian city of Ramallah, was held while Israelis mourned five members of a Jewish settler family knifed to death on Saturday in a West Bank settlement in an attack Israel blamed on Palestinians.

Many Palestinians see Dalal al-Mughrabi, a member of the then-underground Fatah movement, as a heroine for her role in hijacking the bus on Israel's Haifa-Tel Aviv highway.

Israelis consider Mughrabi, who was killed in the incident, a terrorist.

"We stand here in praise of our martyrs and in loyalty to all of the martyrs of the national movement," Fatah member Sabri Seidam said at the unveiling of a plaque showing Mughrabi cradling a rifle against a backdrop map of Israel, the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The square was festooned with Palestinian flags.
The dedication was originally scheduled to take place a year ago, but was postponed because Vice President Joe Biden was in town. Somehow, Sunday seems an even less appropriate day (not that there ever is an appropriate day to dedicate a memorial to a terrorist).

This is exactly why there will never be peace.

The Arabs laud the murders of Jewish children and consider them heroes.

What kind of peace is possible with people who think barbarism against Jews is the basis on which construct their future society?

They have given us their answer.
