In an odious distortion of the World Cup 2014 logo, the official Palestinian
Authority daily printed today a cartoon celebrating the kidnapping of three
Israeli youths on Thursday night. Instead of the famous logo of the World
Cup 2014, in which three victorious hands hold the globe, together creating
the prestigious trophy, the PA cartoon shows a "trophy" of three hands
holding three people with their hands up in surrender. Instead of the text
"Brasil" below the "trophy," the word "Khalil" is written - Arabic for
Hebron, a city near where the Israeli youths were kidnapped.

Similarly, Fatah is celebrating the kidnapping as a victory. On its official
Facebook page, the movement posted a cartoon of a victory sign with three
fingers held up instead of two, symbolizing the three kidnapped youths.
Accompanying the picture was a smiley with the text, "For your
interpretation :)".
