Fayyad's summer camp divisions named after terrorists

When I went to summer camp, the lower divisions were named after animals (we were called Gurim, Kfirim and Arayot, which were three stages in the life of lions) and then the higher divisions had names that indicated their loftier status (they were called Maalot, which means merits, and Kerem, the CIT unit from which future counselors would be chosen).

'Palestinian' summer camp is a little... different. Even when it's run by the 'moderates' from Fatah.

A Palestinian Authority summer camp for children divided its campers into three groups named after the terrorists Dalal Mughrabi, Salah Khalaf and Abu Ali Mustafa.

Dalal Mughrabi in 1978 led the most lethal terror attack in Israel's history, in which 37 civilians were killed, 12 of them children.
Salah Khalaf (Abu Iyad) was the head of the Black September terror group. He planned many terror attacks including the murder of two American diplomats, as well as the murder of 11 Israeli athletes in the Munich Olympics in 1972.
Abu Ali Mustafa, General Secretary of the terror organization Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). He planned numerous terror attacks against Israeli civilians during the Palestinian terror campaign ("the Intifada").

A fourth group was named after Yasser Arafat.

The summer camp was held under the auspices of PA Prime Minister Salam Fayyad, who visited the camp to participate in the closing ceremonies, which he also sponsored.

And you think that if they become a state they won't attack us?
