Abbas’s Fatah Party is encouraging Palestinian parents to teach their children about a terror bombing in which 15 Israelis were murdered and more than 60 wounded in 1975.

In a post on Facebook, Fatah writes about the terror attack in which terrorist Ahmad Abu Sukkar filled a refrigerator with explosives and had it driven to the center of Jerusalem where it was detonated: “Share so that our children will know about it.” For years, Fatah has glorified this murderous attack as the “refrigerator operation.” Fatah also honored the terrorist himself by posting three photos of him: Posted Text: “38 years since the refrigerator operation, which caused the death of 13 Israelis (sic., 15) in Jerusalem’s markets Share so that our children will know about it From the memory: The refrigerator bomb operation, Jerusalem, 1975 The Palestinian National Liberation Movement-Fatah “The operation was carried out by Ahmad Jabarah Abu Sukkar, born in July 1936. He was taken captive long after the operation and sat in the Israeli prison for 27 years.”
