PA (Palestinian) soccer tourney named after Passover Massacre suicide bomber
Palestinian Media Watch Bulletin ^ | January 21 2003 | Itamar Marcus

A Palestinian soccer tournament held at a school has been named after the suicide bomber who attacked a Netanya hotel last Passover Eve, the official Palestinian Authority daily Al Hayat Al Jadida reports. All seven school teams participating in the tournament are named after other “Shahids”[those who died for Allah].

The article did not specify whether children or adults are participating in the championship event held at the school.

The following is the report in the PA paper:

"…in Tulkarm’s Abd Al Majid Tia School soccer field, under the auspices of Jamal Tarif, director of education; Sport Supervisor Jamal Odeh; and in the presence of school principal Jamal Ayat; the head of the Sports committee, and committee members; the Tulkarm Shahids Memorial soccer championship tournament of the Shahid Abd Al-Baset Odeh (the suicide bomber who attacked a Netanya hotel last Passover Eve), began with the participation of seven top teams, named after Shahids who gave their lives to redeem the Homeland. Isam, the brother of the Shahid [of the Passover eve Massacre], will distribute the trophies.

The teams are:

-Abed Al Basset Odeh (carried out the Passover Eve Massacre at the "Park" Hotel in Netanya)
-Raed Carmi (slain Tulkarm Fatah Al Aksa Martyrs Brigade commander)
-Wajdi Al Hatab (Palestinian youth who requested cake be distributed after his martyrdom)
-Tarek Abu Safaka (carried out the suicide attack on the Samaria community of Hermesh on Feb. 10, 2002, killing three Israelis)
-Tarek Alqato (Al Aksa Martyrs Brigade operative killed in a clash with IDF troops)
-Mahmud Marmash (Netanya suicide bomber)
-Husam Al Hamshari

(Sports pages of the official PA daily newspaper Al Hayat Al Jadida Jan 21, 2003).

Maybe the title should say Palestinian instead of PA which made me and maybe others think this was in Pennsylvania?

Nice story knighthawk and a good catch.

Those people are really sick. You can't reason with them, you can't bargain with them, and they will keep on killing Israelis until....

And yet the Left continues to justify their atrocities.

LOL...I thought that at first too...and had to wait until another thread finished loading in a new window in order to scroll down to see for sure...as a Pennsylvania resident, I was getting ready to do some battle on the old home turf!

If only these ragheads knew how totally stupid and immature they look to some people, sadly I can't say the rest of the world for there are many others that agree with their tactics. My whole support and prayers are with the Israelis.

This is hardly surprising.....remember the diorama depicting the slaughter at the pizzeria? That there are jews who continue to believe they can live along side these murderers is what continues to amaze me.

I wish I could be shocked, but nothing shocks me about the blood lust of the Palestinians.
