PMW report prompts Wiesenthal Center's condemnation of German-Palestinian sports agreement
PMW report prompts Wiesenthal Center's condemnation of German-Palestinian sports agreement signed by PA terror promoter Jibril Rajoub
by Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik
Following Palestinian Media Watch's disclosure this week that Germany's most outspoken terror promoters, Jibril Rajoub, the Simon Wiesenthal Center is urging Chancellor Angela Merkel to "suspend this unthinkable agreement until the Palestinian Authority removes all names of terrorists from all sectors of Palestinian sport and their acts of terror be publicly condemned by Ramallah." [Simon Wiesenthal Center website, Feb. 7, 2017]
Jibril Rajoub and Peter Beerwerth sign bilateral sports cooperation agreement between PA and Germany. The Wiesenthal Center suggested that Germany instead encourage joint football matches between Israelis and Palestinians. PMW has documented that Rajoub, in his capacity as head of the PA's Supreme Council for Sport and Youth Affairs and the Palestinian Football Association, has described such peace-building matches as "a crime against humanity."
PMW has documented that it is PA policy to present terrorists as role models. Naming sporting events after terrorists is one of the many ways the PA glorifies and honors terrorists.
