Feminism, PLO style: Mother of 4 murderers honored for "International Women's Day"

From Palestinian Media Watch:

On the occasion of International Women's Day, the PLO Commission of Prisoners' Affairs held an event to honor its female employees as well as female prisoners in Israeli prisons. Among the guests of honor was Um Nasser Abu Hmeid, who the official Palestinian Authority daily described as "mother of four prisoners sentenced to life in the occupation's prisons." What the paper did not mention was that Hmeid's four sons are all terrorist murderers who have either murdered Israelis themselves, or participated in murderous terror attacks and are serving a total of 18 life sentences.

At the event, PA Parliament Member and Director of the PLO commission Issa Karake venerated "the Palestinian woman" for her being "a maker of men and of the future":

"The honoring of the Palestinian woman on her special day stems from loyalty to her role as a maker of men and of the future, and in recognition of her long-standing sacrifice which no one can deny, through giving birth, education and orientation. She is the Martyr (Shahida), the prisoner, the wounded and expelled one, the mother, sister, wife and daughter of all of those."

Karake presented Hmeid with a rose and a plaque of honor at the ceremony.

  

Palestinian Media Watch has reported in the past when the PA has honored this mother of 4 terrorist murderers. This latest event is at least the fifth time she has been honored.
