Just a day after being released from prison, official Palestinian Authority (PA) TV interviewed despicable terrorist Muhammad Daoud, who brutally murdered Ofra Moses and her five-year-old son, Tal.
In 1987, Daoud threw a Molotov cocktail at Ofra’s car, setting it ablaze and burning her alive in front of her entire family as they also suffered severe burns. Ofra’s son succumbed to those wounds 90 days later as well.
Palestinian Media Watch has previously exposed how the PA portrayed Daoud on its official television channel as being “kidnapped” by Israel, and as someone from whom Palestinians “draw faith in certain victory.”
He was also featured as a “giant of Palestinian history.”
The PA doesn’t just stop at publicly glorifying Daoud. It has also made him a millionaire, rewarding him as much as 2,244,200 NIS as part of its Pay-for-Slay program.
Through the offer of fame and fortune, the Palestinian Authority thus continues to make the murder of Israelis a great deal.
