Arch-terrorist Abu Jihad (Khalil Al-Wazir), who organized terror attacks in which 125 Israelis were murdered, has been made into one of the greatest heroes by the Palestinian Authority. One of the P.A.’s and Fatah’s ways to promote Abu Jihad as a role model to Palestinians is by naming sports tournaments after him.
Thus, Fatah’s Bethlehem branch organized the “Martyr Khalil Al-Wazir [Abu Jihad] and Loyalty to the Bethlehem District Prisoners [Futsal] Championship”

The terrorists’ families were invited to a ceremony and given honorary posters with pictures of their imprisoned terrorist relatives.
