Palestinians Mourn Genocidal Lunatic, "Founder" Of Palestinian Cause (Plus: Ditto For Israeli-Arab MKs)

Back before their entire operational leadership was made dead for murdering sitting Israeli tourism minister Rehavam Zeevi, the Palestinian Front for the Liberation of Palestine invented airline hijackings and committed hundreds of terrorist attacks against Israeli and Western targets. Later they joined the PLO as the second-largest party, but scaled back their participation because Fatah didn't seem to wipe out Israel enough. Regarding contemporary Palestinian society, nothing really says "we're ready for peace" like handwringing panegyrics for intransigent arch-terrorists:
Thousands of Palestinians marched Monday in memory of George Habash, the legendary founder of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine terror organization, who was buried in Amman. The marchers in the west Bank city of Ramallah wore red scarves, symbol of the PFLP, chanting, "Your era is the era of Palestinian struggle." "It's the end of founders' generation," said Talal Okal, a local newspaper analyst.
George Habash founded the PFLP in 1951 with the explicit goal of modernizing Arab culture enough to wipe out Israel. Which makes people who say that Palestinian terrorism is a response to Israel's 1967 occupation of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank - like the Ahmadinejad embracing foreign policy experts at the Council on Foreign Relations - pretty fucking stupid. Anyway, here's the promised grist for the Israeli-Arab Fifth Column mill:
"I have come to pay my respects to a leader who has become a symbol of the struggle for freedom and national liberty," MK Ahmed Tibi said at the funeral of Dr. George Habash, the former head of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). A number of Arab MKs were participating in the funeral of the former arch-terrorist.
That's a really totalitarian apartheid state that the Israelis are running. Lots of open traitors sat in the South African parliament, did they?
