A Palestinian university has named its new gate after the mastermind of the Munich Olympics Massacre, in which 11 Israeli athletes were murdered at the Munich Olympics in 1972, a Palestinian Media Watch report has uncovered.
The Student Union Council at Palestine Polytechnic University gifted the institution with the gate, named after Salah Khalaf “Abu Iyad” – the terrorist who headed the Black September terror organisation and planned the Munich Olympics massacre.
During the inauguration ceremony on 18th October, the chairman of the Student Union Council Saif Al-Muhtasib stated that the students are “proud” of the terrorist leader: “We have built this structure to commemorate the name of late Martyr Salah Khalaf ‘Abu Iyad.’ We are proud of the distinguished leaders whose bodies are no more, but whose spirit remains among us”.
On the gate are images of former PA Chairman Yasser Arafat and terrorist Salah Khalaf. Underneath the images is written: “The fortress of Martyr Saleh Khalaf ‘Abu Iyad’”.
To the left of the text is the logo of the Palestine Polytechnic University Student Union Council, which includes the PA map of “Palestine” that includes all of Israel in the colours of the Palestinian flag, indicating Palestinian sovereignty over the entire area.
The Palestinian Authority and Fatah have a long history of glorifying the Munich Olympics massacre and the terrorists behind it. In 2016, it was announced that the PA school would be named after Salah Khalaf.
