Palestinian Authority TV (PA TV) recently honored Ali Ja’ara and Muhammad Za’ul, terrorists who carried out Jerusalem bus bombings that killed 11 and eight people, respectively.

“This is Palestine, which embraces its Martyr sons, who are more honored than all of us, and which sends a message to the whole world that its Martyrs are not numbers, but rather a candle that lights the tunnel of liberty for the Palestinian people on the way to independence,” a PA TV reporter said on a broadcast of a burial ceremony for the two terrorists, whose bodies were handed over to the PA, Palestinian Media Watch reported.

Ja’ara killed 11 in a January 2004 suicide bombing on a bus in Jerusalem, while Za’ul killed eight in a similar attack just one month later.
