Here are the fascists racists and Nazis. PLO to name soccer tournament after Homicide bomber who slaughtered Holocaust survivors celebrating Passover.

The Palestinian Authority has decided to commemorate the memory of Abdel Baset Odeh, the Hamas terrorist who carried out the Passover night suicide bombing in Netanya's Park Hotel last year, by naming a soccer tournament after him.

Thirty people were killed and dozens wounded in the attack, which triggered Operation Defensive Shield.

The PA's ministries of sports and education have been naming tournaments after Palestinian "martyrs" for several years. But the decision to honor Odeh surprised many Palestinians because of his affiliation with Hamas.

Seven school teams are participating in the tournament, which is taking place in Tulkarm, the hometown of Odeh. Each one of the teams has been named after a "martyr" from the city.

Sources in Tulkarm told The Jerusalem Post the decision to honor Odeh and the others was not related to their political affiliations, but was based on the fact they all lived in the city.

According to the PA's newspaper Al-Hayat al-Jadeeda, the soccer tournament is taking place in Tulkarm's Abed al-Majid Tayeh School soccer field, under the auspices of Jama Tarif, director of the PA's education department in the city, and other senior officials.

According to the report, Odeh's brother, Issam, will present the trophies at the end of the matches.

Additionaly, a team has been named after Raed Karmi, the former head of Fatah's armed wing, the Aksa Martyrs' Brigades, who was responsible for the deaths of at least 10 Israelis.
Karmi was killed in what was believed to be an IDF targeted assassination.

Tarek Abu Safaka, who carried out the suicide attack in Hermesh on February 10, 2002, in which three Israelis were killed, has also been honored. One of the soccer teams now carries his name, the paper said.

Dozens of Israeli civilians would have been massacred by this Car Bomb.

Security forces remain on high alert along the Green Line and throughout the country amid ongoing warnings of pending attacks following the abortive attempt on Tuesday to carry out a major car bombing.

The attempt was thwarted by a Border Police patrol on the outskirts of Umm el-Fahm around 3 p.m. on Tuesday as the vehicle was being driven toward Israeli territory.

The members of the Border Police unit, whose actions were praised by Internal Security Minister Uzi Landau when he toured the area on Wednesday, were returning to their base when they spotted the suspicious pick-up. They said they chased the vehicle into one of the neighborhoods of Umm el-Fahm before it stopped and the occupants ran away.

Police sappers discovered that the van was packed with up to 400 kg. of explosives attached to four gas containers. The device was detonated in a controlled explosion at the scene due to the dangers of trying to move the vehicle and its deadly cargo.

Senior police and Border Police officers said there was no doubt that the discovery of the car bomb prevented a major terrorist attack and saved many lives.

Nevertheless, security sources stressed that they were receiving many warnings that Palestinian terrorists would attempt to carry out further attacks and even try to cause disruptions on Election Day. Police are asking the public to remain vigilant and to immediately report any suspicious objects, persons or vehicles.

Meanwhile, in the Tulkarm refugee camp early Wednesday morning, paratroopers arrested Islamic Jihad fugitive Mahmoud Khaled Mahmoud Hatib, who was planning to carry out a suicide bomb attack in Israel. Six other Palestinians suspected of terrorist activities were also arrested in the camp.

The IDF Spokesman revealed that security forces in Bethlehem blew up a bomb factory located in the Fawara neighborhood in the center of the city, as well as a huge weapons cache that included 10 mortar shells and a powerful Klimagor bomb found in the Dehaishe refugee camp southwest of the city. In the bomb factory there were metal balls placed in bombs in order to cause greater damage, scores of kilograms of chemical fertilizer, and containers of glycerine used in the manufacture of bombs.

Since the suicide bomb attack in Kiryat Menahem in Jerusalem on November 21, security forces operating in Bethlehem have arrested 252 Palestinian fugitives, among them 79 affiliated with Hamas.

Troops arrested five Hamas fugitives in the Dehaishe camp.

In the Gaza Strip sappers dismantled four used anti-tank rocket launchers near Netzarim. In the morning an anti-tank rocket was fired at a civilian convoy approaching the community. No one was wounded and no damage reported when the rocket landed meters from one of the cars. Shots were fired at an IDF post north of the Karni crossing and at army positions near Neveh Dekalim and Rafah Yam.

In the West Bank, security forces arrested 24 fugitives and Palestinians suspected of terrorist activities. Two fugitives were arrested in the al-Amri refugee camp in Ramallah, one in the Ein Bet Ilma refugee camp in Nablus, and one in Tel, west of the city. In Hebron a Tanzim fugitive carrying two pipe bombs and flares was arrested.
Other arrests took place in Silat a-Hartiyah, Beit Rima near Ramallah, and in the Tulkarm refugee camp.

During the day shots were fired at security forces in Jenin and at a Border Police patrol near Salem, north of Jenin.

Early Wednesday morning in Yata, south of Hebron, the IDF demolished the home of Tanzim terrorist Fathi Mahmoud Najar, who carried out 15 shooting attacks in the Zieff Junction area, near Samoa, and on the Sussia-Yata road. Last April he also detonated a bomb near an IDF jeep patrolling near Yata.
