| PA wants 'festive' funeral for coastal road killer |
| 2008-07-11 |
| The PA. They're the "good terrorists", right? The Palestinian Authority has asked Israel to hand over the remains of Dalal Mughrabi, the Palestinian woman who led the March 11, 1978 coastal road attack in which 36 people were murdered and 71 wounded. On March 11, 1978, Mughrabi led a band of eleven terrorists who took boats from Lebanon and landed north of Tel Aviv. Upon landing, they met an American photographer, Gail Rubin. Their intended target was Tel Aviv so they asked her where they were. Once she told them, they murdered her. They then hijacked a bus filled with families going on an outing, seemingly with the intent to take it to Tel Aviv. An IDF unit chased the bus and finally forced it to stop, and then the shootout began. Mughrabi and her gang started shooting passengers point-blank and then they firebombed the bus itself, trapping the passengers. At least 35 were killed, including 13 children, in what became known as the Coastal Road Massacre. Israel is planning to deliver Mughrabi's remains, together with those of scores of Palestinians and Lebanese, to Hizbullah in the context of the new prisoner exchange between the two sides. The PA said in its request that it wanted to "honor" Mughrabi by holding a big funeral for her in Ramallah. How about a nice big airstrike on her funeral? Azzam al-Ahmed, a senior Fatah official closely associated with PA President Mahmoud Abbas, described Mughrabi, whose family originally came from Jaffa, as a "the first Palestinian woman to carry out one of the most courageous operations in Israel." He claimed that in her will, Mughrabi, who belonged to Fatah, had asked her family to see to it that she was buried in "Palestine". Nice culture when all your big heroes are murderers. "We want to turn Dalal's funeral into a national wedding, a major celebration," the Fatah official said. "The operation she carried out off the shores of her hometown of Jaffa was heroic and exemplary. She will always be remembered as a symbol for the Palestinian women's struggle." Hopefully, there's lots of casulties from all the gun sex. Even if Israel refuses to deliver her remains to the PA in Ramallah, Fatah officials said they were planning to hold big celebrations throughout the West Bank to coincide with her funeral in Lebanon. Lot's of sweets will be handed out to the kiddos, I'm sure. Ahmed also praised Lebanese prisoner Samir Kuntar for carrying out another terror attack in Israel one year after the 1978 carnage. He described Kuntar as a "stubborn and firm fighter in the ranks of the Lebanese resistance who led a very courageous operation." After taking the hostages, Kuntar's group took Danny and Einat down to the beach, where a shootout with Israeli policemen and soldiers erupted. Samir Kuntar shot the father, Danny, at close range in the back, in front of his daughter, and drowned him in the sea to ensure he was dead. Next, he smashed the head of 4 year-old Einat on beach rocks and crushed her skull with the butt of his rifle. Since its inception, the PA has honored Mughrabi by naming many schools and various institutions after her. An article published in Thursday's edition of the PA-funded Al-Hayat Al-Jadedda newspaper hailed Mughrabi as a "living legend and a wonderful example for all women." ...and, by the way, can we have another couple of billion to support our lazy murdering asses? The article criticized Hizbullah for agreeing to bury Mughrabi in Lebanon and not in the Palestinian territories. It said that someone like her deserved to be buried next to Yasser Arafat's grave in Ramallah. Oh, well. Maybe they can get together in hell and play gin or something? |

| #3 Deliver her body strapped to a 10,000-lb "route clearance" bomb. Poetic justice, especially if it were delivered to Ramallah. These people are such sickos there's no cure for them. I wish we had another Australia, where we could maroon all of them for the "duration" - or until the Sun novas, whichever comes last. |

| #2 I agree. Let's have a BIG funeral, with lots of Hamas and Fatah bigwigs. Then let's have a big fireworks show, provided by the IAF. With the fireworks really close to the ground, for maximum effect. |
