[Dr. Aaron Lerner - IMRA:

PA PM Fayad does more than honor a dead terrorist who was killed as he
attempted to stab an Israeli soldier. He asserts that the terrorists
activities were part of the "non-violent protests".

This is an important warning to those who are so impressed by all the talk
about Palestinian "non-violent protest" as if Fayad and Abbas were going to
march arm in arm in some kind of nonviolent protest.

This is Palestinian "non-violent protest":

- rock throwing
- fire bomb throwing

and now, apparently "moderate" PA PM Fayad has added knifing.

Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Salam Fayyad has honored the terrorist
who attempted to stab an Israeli soldier by paying a condolence call to his
family. The terrorist was killed by Israeli soldiers after the attack Friday
in Hebron.

Today's official PA daily carries a front-page picture of the terrorist,
glorifying him with the title "Shahid" - a holy Islamic Martyr - together
with the picture of Fayyad's visit. Becoming a Shahid represents the
highest religious achievement that can be attained by a Muslim.

"Fayyad pays condolences to the family of Shahid (Martyr) Faiz Faraj in the
Hebron region."

The following is the front page story of Prime Minister Fayyad's condolence
visit as reported in the official PA daily. This article likewise glorifies
the terrorist as a "Shahid":

"The [Palestinian Authority] Prime Minister [Salam Fayyad] paid condolences
to the family of the Shahid (Martyr) Faiz Faraj, who was killed on Friday
evening by the occupation forces (Israel), having been fired upon directly
in the old Al-Shalala neighborhood in Hebron. Fayyad denounced in extremely
harsh terms the actions of the occupation forces, carried out as part of the
ongoing campaign to suppress the non-violent protests of residents in the
various regions."
