We are already used to the palestinians co-opting Christmas.
I mean, who can forget scenes like this from Christmas seasons past?
And true to form, ’tis the season they show folly.
Exhibit A: A “Martyr” Christmas tree
As its contribution to the Christmas spirit at Birzeit University near Ramallah, Fatah’s student movement Shabiba decorated a Christmas tree with pictures of “Martyrs” – among them terrorist murderer Muhannad Halabi who recently stabbed and killed two Israeli civilians in Jerusalem.
Additional “Martyrs” who the Fatah students apparently think express the message of love, benevolence and goodwill generally associated with Christmas and Christianity, were founder of the terror organization Hamas Ahmed Yassin, founder of the terror organization Islamic Jihad Fathi Shaqaqi, and Secretary-General of the terror organization PFLP Abu Ali Mustafa – all responsible for numerous terror attacks and the deaths of hundreds of Israeli civilians. Crowning the top of the tree was a picture of former PA and Fatah Chairman Yasser Arafat, who throughout his rule endorsed and encouraged terror attacks against Israelis.
Exhibit B: Israel-bashing cover of “Happy Xmas” (War Is Over)
I am sure there will be plenty more examples by the time Christmas rolls around.
