Video: PA TV celebration of most murderous terror attack in Israel's history by Itamar Marcus and Barbara Crook
Last week PMW released the transcript of Palestinian Authority television's glorification of the most murderous Palestinian terror attack in Israel's history. Today we are resending this bulletin with the video link to view the program.
The terror attack on March 11, 1978, involved a bus hijacking that left 37 civilians dead. The Palestinian Authority celebrated the 20th anniversary of the attack with an hour-long TV special about the hijacking. The program included file footage of PLO training camps, and interviews with a number of terrorists describing the planning and implementation of the attack.
The program opened with the narrator glorifying the attack as:
"... one of the most important and most prominent special operations, executed by the Palestinian revolution by sea, on the coast between Haifa and Tel Aviv. This operation, carried out by a team of heroes and led by the heroic fighter Dalal Mughrabi, had great impact on continuing events of the Arab-Israeli conflict." [PA TV (Fatah), March 11, 2009]
