Palestinans Preaching Tolerance

Have I got your attention yet with the headline? Good. Because the Palestinians aren't teaching tolerance, but spreading the propaganda and hatred of the likes of Nasrallah and Osama bin Laden:

A student journal recently distributed among Arab students in Haifa University displays picture of Osama bin Laden, former Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat, Hizbullah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah and Fatah leader Marwan Barghouti, with attached pages describing their terror activities and details of their lives.

The journal, distributed by student representatives of the Islamic movement's northern faction in the university's Mount Carmel campus, is causing a storm of fury among many students and professors at the university.

"It is unacceptable," said David, a student. He raged against the "first-rate incitement material" that included memorial dates such as September 11, the date of the kidnapping of Israel Defense Forces soldiers on the northern border, Nasrallah's birthday, and more.

Yedioth Aharonoth discovered that the journal was funded by a branch of the Islamic movement located in the Arab town of Umm al-Fahem.

Two residents of the town distributing the journals said: "There's no provocation. We mention Nasrallah and other great leaders of the Arab people. If someone doesn't like it, it's his problem."

The person responsible for distribution of the journals on campus was Islamic movement member and Haifa University student Mouad Hatib.

"I don't understand the fuss," he said. "It's a journal for Arab students at the university. The student body of the Islamic movement stands behind the distribution of these journals."

"It's important for us to note important dates for the Arab nation. Nasrallah and Arafat are both leaders of the Arab people. We mention Nasrallah and the date of the kidnapping of the two soldiers and the killing of eight others as a brave operation that led to the Lebanon war ," he explained.

Of course Hatib doesn't understand the fuss. Idolizing people who call for genocide and jihad are par for the course. The journal lauds those who advocate the destruction of Israel and the mass murder of those who oppose their brand of militant Islam.

What is troubling is that this journal was distributed on the campus of Haifa University, which is part of Israel. The university's administrators are reviewing the situation.
