Abbas Honors Palestinian Terror Leader
(Gatestone Institute) Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik - PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas has awarded the "highest order of the Star of Honor" to arch-terrorist Nayef Hawatmeh, leader of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP). The DFLP carried out many deadly terror attacks in the 1970s, including the killing of 22 schoolchildren and 4 adults in Ma'alot, the killing of 9 children and 3 adults in an attack on a school bus, the killing of 7 in a Jerusalem bombing, and the killing of 4 hostages in an apartment building in Beit Shean. Abbas praised Hawatmeh's "efforts to raise the flag of Palestine since the launch of the Palestinian revolution."
