Palestinian Authority Names School After Planner of Munich Olympics Massacre

Think of the damage done to children going to a school named after such a POS.
Where's the UN? World Leaders? Peaceniks? Why the silence?

The Palestinian Authority has dedicated a new school to the mastermind of the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre, Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) reported Tuesday.

A school in the West Bank city of Tulkarem has been named “the Martyr Salah Khalaf School” in memory of the leader of the Black September terrorist group. Khalaf, who was also known as Abu Iyad, planned the attack on the Israeli Olympic compound at the 1972 Munich Olympics, during which 11 Israeli athletes and coaches were tortured and killed. Khalaf also had a role in the 1973 takeover of the American embassy in Khartoum, Sudan, which ended in the murder of two American diplomats and a Belgian envoy.

The cornerstone of the school was laid last month, when District Governor Issam Abu Bakr “emphasized the importance of the project of building the school named after Martyr Salah Khalaf, in order to commemorate the memory of this great national fighter,” Al-Hayyat Al-Jadida, the official PA newspaper, reported. Other PA officials attending the ceremony included Tulkarem Mayor Iyad al-Jallad and Salam al-Taher, head of the Tulkarem Education Directorate, part of the PA Ministry of Education.

This is the fourth school dedicated to the memory of Khalaf; the three others are in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip.

I found this one...

Following the tumultuous events in Jordan, Khalaf (by then using the nom de guerre Abū ʿIyāḍ ) reportedly organized a group known as Black September, which conducted terrorist operations in Jordan and elsewhere. He was thought to have orchestrated a number of the group’s actions, including the killing of 11 Israelis at the 1972 Olympic Summer Games in Munich, West Germany.

https://www.britannica.com/biography/Salah-Khalaf

Wikipedia has no mention of Munich on the page about him.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salah_Khalaf

The wiki page on Munich doesn't list him as being targeted by Mossad.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_September_Organization#Munich_massacre

Wiki says that it's Daoud who was the mastermind.

And like your link, they are all regurgitating this source Palestinian Media Watch

So I'm left feeling like this doesn't pass the DU smell test.

As to PMW, that's Hillary Clinton's go to source about Palestinian textbooks that incite terror/violence and hate.

Slate is interesting:

Because Abu Daoud's book is not yet published in English, his revelations have had no impact in the United States. However, the story has been picked up by right-wing pro-Israel groups seeking to discredit Abu Mazen, and, therefore, talks with the Palestinians.

Can Abu Daoud be believed? It's difficult to say, since Abu Iyad was assassinated in 1991. But Abu Daoud didn't want to blacken his former collaborators; he wanted to earn credit for Munich, which he still defends but says was not supposed to provoke bloodshed. He made his assertions to dispel the belief held by some Palestinians that he gave testimony in 1973 to the Jordanian intelligence services that both absolved him of responsibility for Munich and blamed men supposedly close to Salameh—men later killed by Israelis acting on the information.

Again, your links confirm what I am saying, not what you or PMW is saying.

That you claim that HRC considers PMW a good source, even if true, isn't winning me over.

So, again, what else do you have?
