NGO funded by UN bodies and foreign governments plants trees to honor 209 terrorists, in latest implication of quiet UN terror backing.
A Palestinian NGO funded by UN bodies and foreign governments held a tree planting ceremony last Friday for "Land Day," in which it honored 209 "martyrs of the intifada" in a mass celebration of the recent terror wave.
The event held by the NGO, Union of Agricultural Work Committees (UAWC), was exposed by Palestinian Media Watch (PMW) on Monday. PMW noted that among the "martyrs" were numerous terrorists who murdered or tried to murder Israelis since last September, in a terror surge that has left 34 dead and over 400 wounded.
PMW further revealed that UAWC is funded by UNRWA and UNDP, both UN bodies, as well as the governments of Australia, Spain, Netherlands and Japan in addition to numerous European NGOs, as recorded in UAWC's website.
"Their funding of the UAWC implicates all these institutions and organizations in the act of honoring murderers of Israelis," explained PMW, noting that it has recently exposed similar cases of UN funded groups honoring terrorists.
Among the terrorists honored with an olive tree and mentioned in a report on the event last Friday in the official Palestinian Authority (PA) daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida was Muhannad Halabi, who stabbed and murdered two Israelis and wounded the wife and 2-year-old baby of one them in Jerusalem's Old City last October.

In Islam, a “martyr” is someone who murders others for their beliefs.
As opposed to, say, Christianity where a martyr is one who is murdered for her beliefs.
Enough!!
This hatred of Israel is insane!!
I’m no Zionist. Not even sure what the word means so I might be :)
But 6 million people, LESS than NYC’s population relentlessly and mercilessly persecuted, prosecuted and slandered at the UN and other places.
They obviously don’t OWN the US, as that horrible myth went away with the knowledge that one lousy president can leave them without their closest ally through the decades
They DO need us. They are valiant fighters but to be surrounded on all sides by enemies. Now to have an enemy given 100s of billions of dollars to destroy you.
I’m an America first guy, but I am EMBARRASSED at what our congress has let transpired!!
Obama, he ALWAYS hated Israel, so I expected that.
Oh, and nothing worse than a person who hates their own background and culture so much so as to sell it up the river to gain some power here.
Liberal Jews are Israel’s Judas!
And they are legion. Oops, I mean Legion.
The UN, just like the EU headquarters and Obama/Kerry/Clinton....enemies of liberty, Christians, Jews, plus just about anything good, wholesome, decent.
Just the way it is. (Satan’s Legions are many...)
(Its not unexpected nor “newsworthy” when an enemy says or does something hostile)

Zion is another biblical name for the city of David.
A Zionist is someone who believes the Jewish people have a right to live in the land God gave them.
