When honoring terror is “conciliatory”

The AP has the most fascinating pro-Palestinian spin. The PA cancelled an anniversary ceremony that was supposed to honor a terrorist who helped her people murder 35 Israelis who were traveling on a coastal highway. Here’s the AP spin:

The Palestinian Authority has called off a ceremony honoring a woman involved in the deadly hijacking of an Israeli bus.

The Palestinians had planned on Thursday to name a square in the West Bank city of Ramallah after Dalal Mughrabi for her part in the 1978 hijacking on Israel’s coastal highway. Thirty-eight people were killed in the assault.

But they decided Wednesday to put it off. They offered no official explanation and it was not immediately clear if the ceremony would be rescheduled.

And here’s Ynet’s view:

On March 11, 1978, 11 Fatah terrorists infiltrated Israel’s coast using a rubber raft. They murdered photographer Gail Rubin and proceeded to hijack a bus while shooting at passing vehicles. They shot at the passengers and al-Mughrabi blew up the bus.

Altogether, 35 people were killed and 71 injured in the massacre, which to this day remains the deadliest terror attack in the State of Israel’s history.

Thirteen of the dead were children. I wonder why Joe Biden didn’t condemn the anniversary ceremony that was to take place today? He sure condemned Israel quickly for the crime of—building in east Jerusalem.

It is, as always, Israeli Double Standard Time. But not to worry: That only happens on days that end with a “y.”
