Tel-Chai Nation

Another offensive example of terrorists being given prizes, including money that was no doubt stolen from the public's tax payments:

The father of a terrorist who murdered three Israelis won an international lawyer prize on Sunday for defending another terrorist's wife.

Attorney Muhammad Alyan's son, terrorist Baha Alyan, perpetrated the October 2015 attack in Armon Hanatziv neighborhood in Jerusalem, killing three Israelis.

Baha was killed by security forces.

Alyan recently represented Nadia Abu Jamaal, the widow of terrorist Ghassan Abu Jamaal, who participated in the November 2014 terrorist attack on a synagogue in the Har Nof neighborhood in the capital, which killed five worshippers and a police officer.

The terrorist in this attack was also killed by security forces.

Outrageously, for representing Abu Jamaal, Alyan received the prize for best international human rights attorney in a ceremony held in Al-Quds University in Abu Dis, east of Jerusalem.

The university collaborated with the International Institute for Human Rights and Peace in Caen, northern France, to present the award.

Caen's local bar association, along with its Palestinian counterpart, the French human rights institute and Al-Quds University held the ninth annual International Palestinian Pleading Competition for Human Rights on Sunday.

Many diplomats attended the event, including from Belgium and Canada, along with French MPs and human rights activists.

When a lot of politicians give their approval, you know something's wrong. If any members of Emmanuel Macron's party associated themselves with this atrocity, then it only compounds the bad reputation they should have. The "lawyer" voiced some hateful speech against Israel too, and that should be telling something about what he's really like.

Meirav Hajaj, whose daughter Lt. Shir Hajaj was murdered in a ramming attack in Armon Hanatziv this January, was enraged to learn that a terrorist's father had won the award.

"This is an absurd situation that we are trying to prevent," she said.

"The son committed murder and the father receives money and prizes. He has become a public figure who leads fights against Israel, instead of fearing for his status in the state. This is unreasonable. This is intolerable."

Maor Zemach, CEO of the Lach Yerushalayim ("For You, Jerusalem") advocacy group that seeks to safeguard Israeli sovereignty in Jerusalem, said that "the consul general of France in Jerusalem and four French MPs awarded a prize to the father of a despicable murderer. He defends the rights of terrorists who murder worshippers while they are praying. This is an unimaginable record moral low."

Zemach called on the political echelon to respond severely "against the countries who support this distorted morality, and against the university of terrorism in Abu Dis."

Yes, they should get on the ball and deal with this immediately, and luckily, there are some MKs already who've spoken out:

Habayit Hayehudi MK Shuli Mualem-Rafaeli has called on Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely to deny entry to Israel to lawmakers who took part in an awards ceremony that honored the father of a terrorist for his work as a human-rights lawyer.

"We cannot show restraint," Mualem-Rafaeli wrote in a letter to Hotovely, after an Israel Hayom report revealed that Muhammad Alyan, whose son killed three Israelis in 2015, won the International Institute for Human Rights and Peace in France's award for best international human rights attorney for defending another terrorist's wife. Many diplomats attended the event, including from Belgium and Canada, along with French MPs and human rights activists.

[...] Mualem called for those countries' representatives in Israel to receive a dressing-down. "The message to the world will be clear: The State of Israel will not allow subversive elements to pass through the entrance gates to Israel," she wrote.

Hotovely has asked the Israeli Embassy in Paris to relay her objection to the French Foreign Ministry.

Hotovely said, "I view with great severity the presentation of the award to the father of a terrorist, as the countries of the world, including France, Canada, Belgium and Israel [continue to] fight terrorism." She said the decision sent a "problematic and inappropriate message."

Likud MK Anat Berko called the move "very serious." She said it was as if there would be "a ceremony honoring the parents of one of the perpetrators of the Bataclan or Charlie Hebdo attacks."

In a way, that's what the "diplomats" were doing. They may not think so, but to honor a terrorist in a different country is to honor those in their own countries. It attests to how they truly don't see much wrong with jihadism committed in Europe.
