Bus blown up in Coastal Road Massacre 1978
What would you call someone who led an attack in which a woman was shot to death was taking pictures on a beach, a bus was hijacked, rigged with explosives and used as a cover to shoot at civilians, then blown up causing the death of 35 people?
A freedom fighter, hero, terrorist, member of al-Queda? Would you honor this person with a ceremony and name a traffic circle after her? Think again.

Yes, the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank has just canceled a ceremony to honor this woman. My question is why they planned it in the first place. After all, this is the "moderate" group of Palestinians, right? These are the ones Israel is supposed to negotiate a peace treaty with, right?
I wonder what Joe Biden has to say about that since he is over there. Maybe that's why the move was canceled.
I wonder what other landmarks are named after terrorists and their deeds. Is there an Achille Lauro memorial in the West Bank? How about a street named after those who carried out the 1972 Olympic massacre in Munich? How about Skyjacker Blvd? The list is endless. One would need a city the size of Tokyo to name streets after all the "heroes" of the Palestinian movement.
