20 Years Later, PA Still Glorifies Perpetrators of Passover Seder Massacre

(Palestinian Media Watch) Lt. Col. (res.) Maurice Hirsch - March 27 marked the 20th anniversary of the Passover Seder Massacre at the Park Hotel in Netanya in 2002, when a Palestinian suicide bomber blew himself up, murdering 30 people and injuring another 160. Every month since then, the Palestinian Authority spends thousands of dollars to reward the family of the bomber and pay salaries to the terrorists who were arrested for their part in the massacre. Four of the terrorists arrested for the attack - Abbas Al-Sayid, the main planner; Fathi Hatib, who transported the bomber; Muhannad Shreim, who financed the attack; and Muamar Al-Sheikh, Al-Sayid's deputy - have by now each been paid over one million shekels by the PA as a reward for their participation in the murders. The PA has also paid hundreds of thousands of shekels to the families of Kais Adwan, one of the main planners of the attack, and to the family of the bomber, Abd Al-Basset Odeh. The PA has repeatedly honored Al-Sayid, calling him a "heroic fighter" and "the lion of the prison cells." The PA has also repeatedly glorified the bomber, Odeh. People who praise and reward terrorist murderers, simply because they murdered Jews, are not and will never be partners for peace. The writer, director of legal strategies for PMW, served for 19 years in the IDF Military Advocate General Corps.
