(Palestinian Media Watch) Itamar Marcus - On March 8, 2016, Palestinian terrorist Bashar Masalha attacked civilians in Tel Aviv-Jaffa, stabbing to death American tourist Taylor Force - a West Point graduate who served in Iraq and Afghanistan - and wounding 11 others before he was shot and killed by Israeli police. Last week, Israel gave Masalha's body to the Palestinian Authority. Reporting on the funeral in which hundreds participated, official PA TV glorified the murderer, calling him a "martyr" 11 times. Becoming a martyr in Islam represents the highest religious achievement. The PA TV reporter explained that the funeral was "a large national wedding befitting of martyrs."
