Palestinian teen murderer praised as hero

The 17 year old who stabbed Yotam Ovadia to death yesterday and injured two others, is being hailed as a hero and a martyr in Palestinian media and social media.

Palestine Today and other outlets are praising his last post on Facebook, written an hour before the murder, where he complained that Palestinians were being silent in the face of Israeli crimes in Gaza and against Al Aqsa. "Remember that the children in Gaza suffer the most suffering ...Praise the heroes, and for those who betrayed their homeland and sold their land, let them fall, cowards, with the blood of your martyrs...The time has come for your consciousness. The time has come for the Great Revolution. By your blood, honorable ones, to bring back the Muslims of Gaza, a rush to keep away the oppression of the Jews from your people, did not the time of this revolution come? Oh God, forgive our negligence towards the Aqsa and the oppressed."

People are making martyr videos juxtaposing pictures of him with the scene in Adam.



Facebook pages with the story of his "martyrdom" are filled with praise for him.

As always with Palestinian terror attacks, the story isn't the universal praise that the murderers get from Palestinian society.

The story is that it is virtually impossible to find a single Palestinian voice - not one - who can publicly says that murdering a civilian father of two is wrong. Whether it is because of fear of retribution or because there are truly no moderate Palestinian voices, it doesn't matter. The lack of a single pushback to a horrible murder and to the canonization of the murderer says all you need to know about the disgusting pro-terror and antisemitic mindset of Palestinian society.

The reason that peace is impossible is not because of Israeli actions but because Palestinians simply love their murderers - they encourage them, they pay them, they honor them, and no one speaks out against them.
