Israel's peace partner honors the Sbarro bomber: An Update

April 17, 2008 Posted by Scott at 7:03 AM

We wrote here yesterday about the Palestinian Authority media reports that the PA leadership was to make awards to two female terrorists (including the Sbarro bomber) imprisoned in Israel. Today the Jerusalem Post reports that the Israelis have talked peace partner Mahmoud Abbas out of making the awards to the two terrorists. The awards have therefore been "revoked." Apparently, for today, at any rate, Abbas is more afraid of the Israelis than of the “Palestinians.”
