"There was a lot of incitement l=would say on behalf of the delegation meaning or implying that the Palesti=ians are the ones terrorizing Israel," Saidam said.

PMW has re=orted on the PA and Fatah's ongoing terror glorifica=ion <http://palwatch.=rg/main.aspx?fi=157&doc_id=16468> and promotion of violence <http://www.palwatch.org/main.aspx=fi=157&doc_id=16156> =/span> during the current wave of terror attacks against Israelis. <Apan> The following are=the reports on the delegation's use of PMW documentation at the meeting wi=h PA officials in the Jerusalem Post and SEM Headline: "Gra=evine: Between Jerusalem and Berlin" By Greer Fay Cashman "PRIOR TO the dinner on Sunday, following a presentation by It=mar Marcus from Palestinian Media Watch, Dialogue participants went to Ram=llah to meet with Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah and =he PA education minister, who were asked about the naming of a girls high =chool after a terrorist, Dalal Mughrabi; sporting events named after terro=ists; branding anyone who supported peace initiatives through sport as tra=tors; and the preaching of hatred through the education system. According =o the Australian Labor Party's Glenn Sterle, who is the senator for Wester= Australia in the Parliament of Australia, Australian and UK delegates wer= at all times respectful and courteous to the prime minister when putting =heir questions. The prime minister gave a brief o=erview of the situation between Israel and the PA. He shared the concerns =he PA has with Hamas and the reconstruction effort of the PA in Gaza. He t=ld the group that the Palestinians are willing to commence peace talks tow=rd a two-state solution with Israel, but not until there is a freeze on th= expansion of settlements. The term "occupation" was us=d numerous times, said Sterle. When questions from the =elegation were put to the prime minister, the responses were varied, Sterl= added. "Firstly, there was complete denial that any sc=ools in the West Bank were named after terrorists. He challenged us to che=k our information. He reiterated a number of times that our information wa= incorrect. But when he was returned to the question by=other members of the delegation, he then went into defending the practice =f 'honoring' terrorist-suicide bombers." Sterle noted t=at Hamdallah was at pains to share with the group the actions of Israeli s=ldiers who have killed numerous Palestinian youths who have done nothing m=re than throwing stones at the soldiers. He used the expression "they are =ot here having a picnic" several times when talking about the soldiers' pr=sence. His reasoning, said Sterle, was that Israel hono=s its "terrorists" by naming streets, buildings and airports after them. N=mes such as Ben-Gurion, Sharon and Meir - people who, he said, killed Pale=tinians - were cited. He also mentioned Baruch Goldstein, who killed 29 Mu=lim worshipers at prayer in Hebron. 2 EFTA_R1_00007 093 EFTA01733332 At one stage, said =terle, Hamdallah got a little agitated as the group continued to bring him=back to the topic of honoring terrorists through sporting events and the e=ucation system. The same theme of questioning was put t= the education minister, and the same answers came back to the group. Trim=le opened the session with the process of inclusion between children from =oth sides of the Northern Ireland conflict. The minister appeared not to b= interested in further conversation in this area, though he did say the as=istance of the international community was needed to commence peace talks.=/span> Sterle, for whom this was not the first Dialogue gather=ng, said that it is imperative to have the visit to Ramallah included in an Dialogue visits. "It is definitely worthwhile for delegates to meet and =ear from the PA ," he said, and strongly recommended a briefing from Pales=inian Media Watch before any meetings with the PA."
