PA TV sends greetings
to stabber of Kay Wilson and killer of Kristine Luken
"in defiance" of PMW that last week
exposed PA TV's glorification of the murderer
PA TV also honored four terrorist prisoners
who between them are serving 18 life sentences
in Israeli prisons
 |
Last week, Palestinian Media Watch exposed that a Palestinian Authority TV program namedGiants of Endurance had honored the terrorist who brutally stabbed Kay Wilson and murdered Kristine Luken in a forest near Jerusalem. PMW's story was reported in the international media, including Fox News and the Daily Mail in Britain.
This week, PA TV decided to honor four additional terrorists, four brothers who in total are serving 18 life sentences in Israeli prisons. But before interviewing the mother of the four terrorists, the PA TV host condemned last week's PMW report - which exposed their terror glorification - as "incitement," and then sent "greetings" and "all our respect" to the terrorist murderer "in defiance of the occupation." In this case, the term "occupation" seems to be PA TV's euphemism for PMW who exposed the story:
Official PA TV host: "A few days ago there was a campaign of incitement by several of the occupation's websites (i.e., reference to PMW report) against our program because we visit the prisoners' mothers. The latest was the mother of prisoner Kifah Ghneimat from Hebron (i.e., stabbed Kristine Luken to death and critically wounded Kay Wilson) to whom we send our greetings and all our respect, in defiance of the occupation..."

Following its condemnation of PMW, PA TV then interviewed the mother of four brothers, all terrorists, who between them are serving 18 life sentences in prison. After interviewing the mother, PA TV honored these terrorist murderers as well, saying:
"...each one in his own right. We are proud of them, and we are proud of every Palestinian fighter."
PMW has documented that the Palestinian Authority claims the murder of Israeli civilians is aprotected Palestinian right according to international law, and therefore presents the murderers of Israeli civilians as Palestinian heroes. As PMW has exposed, the PA honors Palestinian terrorist murderers, by naming sporting events, schools, and streets after them.

Kifah Ghneimat and Iyad Fataftah - Palestinian terrorists who attacked and stabbed two women, Kristine Luken - an American Christian tourist, and British Israeli Kay Wilson, on Dec. 18, 2010, as they were hiking in the Mata forest, near Beit Shemesh. Luken was brutally stabbed to death and Wilson was severely injured. Wilson survived by remaining still so the terrorists assumed she was dead. After the terrorists fled the scene, she forced herself to get up and walk for help.Ghneimat and Fataftah were arrested a month after the attack and admitted to the crime. Wilson's testimony and Fataftah's DNA, from his blood on a knife Wilson had tried to defend herself with, were crucial to the prosecution. Ghneimat was sentenced to 2 life sentences and an additional 60 years imprisonment. Fataftah was sentenced to 1 life sentence and an additional 20 years imprisonment.
