At a fast-breaking meal at Palestinian Authority (leader) Mahmoud Abbas’ “presidential headquarters” during Ramadan, Abbas entertained many dignitaries from the PA. These included:

Leadership members, Muslim and Christian religious figures, a number of ambassadors and consuls in the State of Palestine, [PA] government members, [PA] Security Forces commanders, families of Martyrs, prisoners, and wounded, judges, academics, publicists, journalists, and businessmen.

In other words — a lot of important people.

But who did Abbas choose to sit next to him at his table?

A fellow PA leader? A PA ambassador? A judge?

No.

He chose Um Nasser Abu Hmeid — the mother of six terrorists responsible for at least 10 murders.

This choice underscores PA ideology that Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) has exposed again and again: Terrorists and terrorist murderers are honored and put on a pedestal, and so are the family members of those terrorists who die — the “Martyrs” — either while attacking Israelis or of illnesses in prison.

The romance between the PA and Um Nasser Abu Hmeid has long since turned into a real relationship, lasting more than a decade.

PMW first reported on the glorification of Um Nasser Abu Hmeid in 2011, when the PA chose her to launch the PA statehood campaign with the UN. Since then the PA’s terrorist mom has been mentioned, honored, and presented more and more frequently, recently as reported above as Abbas’ dinner partner.

The following are the highlights of Um Nasser Abu Hmeid’s “career” as celebrated terror mom, exposed by PMW:
