Fatah has chosen to use its official Facebook page to glorify terrorists.

Fatah's page currently displays a poster with the pictures of 8 terrorists
who carried out a terror attack on the Savoy Hotel in Tel Aviv in 1975, that
was posted by the Fatah administrator.

8 Israeli civilians and 3 soldiers were killed in the attack.

Text on poster:

"The Tel Aviv operation, March 6, 1975
The Palestinian passage to the homeland"

The text under each terrorist's picture reads:

"The heroic Shahid (Martyr)"
followed by the terrorist's name.

Note that the poster on Fatah's Facebook page also includes the visual
representation of a map of "Palestine" which in addition to PA areas
includes all of Israel.
