In a post on Facebook, the Fatah Movement and its Deputy Chairman Mahmoud Al-Aloul praised one of the planners of the Munich massacre in which Palestinian terrorists murdered 11 Israelis at the Olympics in 1972.
The Fatah Movement and Abbas' deputy Al-Aloul called terrorist Ali Hassan Salameh a "heroic commander" and specifically mentioned the Munich attack as one his achievements:Posted text: "#Video
Today is the anniversary of the death as a Martyr (Shahid) of heroic commander Martyr Ali Hassan Salameh (i.e., a commander of the Black September terror organization), who was called 'the Red Prince.'
He commanded special operations against the Zionist intelligence throughout the world, and the sending of explosive packages from Amsterdam to many agents of the Mossad (i.e., Israeli Secret Intelligence Service) in European capitals. His name was linked to the famous operation in Munich (i.e., terror attack, 11 murdered). [Former Israeli Prime Minister] Golda Meir was attributed with the statement: 'Find this animal and kill him (sic., PMW could find no record of such a quote).'"

The official PA daily also marked the anniversary of terrorist Ali Hassan Salameh's death, honoring him as a "Martyr." Like Fatah, the paper particularly mentioned the Munich killings, calling it one of his "quality operations":
"His name was linked to many quality operations, such as... the Munich operation (i.e., the Munich Olympics massacre), which was carried out by the Black September organization, which kidnapped several Israeli athletes and killed several of them."

Another "Martyr" murderer promoted by Fatah this week was the female suicide bomber Wafa Idris who murdered one and wounded over 100 when she blew herself up on Jaffa Street in Jerusalem in 2002. In the honorary post on Facebook showing a photo of murderer Idris, Fatah focused on the details of the bombing:
Posted text: "On this date, Dec. 28, 2002 (sic., Jan. 27, 2002) a massive explosion took place on an Israeli bus (sic., Idris detonated her bomb in the street) in the center of Jerusalem, in which 90 Israelis were killed and wounded (sic., 1 murdered, over 100 wounded). The one who carried it out was Martyr (Shahida) Wafa Idris, 27, a refugee from the city of Ramle and a resident of the Al-Amari refugee camp in Ramallah.

He was responsible for the assassination of several agents of the Mossad

Headline: "38 (sic., 39) years since Ali Hassan Salameh's death as a Martyr"
"On Monday, Jan. 22, 1979, at precisely 3:37 p.m., a strong explosion shook Beirut. The target was the senior Palestinian official Ali Hassan Salameh (i.e., a commander of the Black September terror organization).
Salameh died as a Martyr (Shahid) together with four of his guards, and this was after then occupation [Israeli] Prime Minister Golda Meir said: 'Find this animal and kill him (sic., PMW could find no record of such a quote)!' ...
In 1970, he commanded special operations against the Israeli intelligence throughout the world from Lebanon. His name was linked to many quality operations, such as sending the explosive packages from Amsterdam to many Mossad (i.e., Israeli Secret Intelligence Service) agents in Europe... and the Munich operation (i.e., the Munich Olympics massacre), which was carried out by the Black September organization, which kidnapped several Israeli athletes and killed several of them. Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir called him 'the Red Prince' (sic., PMW could find no record of Meir giving terrorist Salameh this nickname)."
