An Aussie Christian Charity's Donated Soccer Field To Be Named After Palestinian Terrorist Abu Jihad

POLITICS. .

What's with the Palestinian love affair with their martyred, terrorist shahids? The Palestinian glorification of terrorists and suicide bombers is akin to the West's attempt to create positive role models like doctors and lawyers for our youth. The West's endeavours are far more healthy and palatable for the psyche of a child. Personally, I find it extremely sick, a major form of child abuse, to continuously instill in your children love for jihad.

But Palestinians are constantly celebrating some martyr or other, and after the Christian charity 'World Vision Australia' donated money to build a soccer field in Jenin, in the West Bank, fully-funded mind you, the Palestinians spit in their faces by deciding to build more facilities around the field and naming the complex after terrorist Abu Jihad (Khalil al-Wazir). It's to be called Abu Jihad Youth City.

Talk about gratitude! Why couldn't they have called it Jenin Youth City?

Why Abu Jihad? If you remember, Jihad (an appropriate name) headed the PLO, Fatah's fighting wing, back in the 1970's and '80s. During that time period the PLO was considered a terrorist organization, although it no longer is.

World Vision Australia claims they had no idea about the naming of the sports complex, since theirs was a community project aimed at aiding Palestinian youth.

"Subsequent to our work establishing the soccer field, the governor of Jenin and the ministry of youth and sport have embraced it and determined they will build additional sports facilities on the site," she said

"This blueprint for the future they have named Abu Jihad Youth City -- a name they came up with after consulting with the local communities.

"The Abu Jihad Youth City is a separate initiative by the ministry, Governor and community. It was initiated after our funding of the soccer field had been completed."

The spokeswoman denied reports by Palestinian Media Watch that World Vision had financed the youth centre itself.

"The aim of the soccer field is to involve young people in this region of the West Bank, who are frequently dealing with psychological trauma and stress, in soccer training and competition, and in sport generally, as a positive community activity . . . There is no other facility like it."

Whether they were aware or not, who knows. If they were, shame on them. If not, shame on the Palestinians. Why didn't they just build a sports complex somewhere else? And it's too bad the Palestinians continuously strive to remind the youth of those who have caused death and destruction. As if their lives aren't traumatic enough, as they claim, why make it a constant reminder. How about some positive, living, role models, for their youth, not dead, suicide bombers and terrorists. Stop polluting their minds!
