The day you get the settlers to see Goldstein for who he really was is the day I'll denounce the PA for naming that street for Al Mugrhrabi. Deal?

This is not some individual humming a tune who is caught on camera...this is an official state body honoring a terrorist. Or is that "different"? <a href="http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1155420.html" target="_blank">http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1155420.html</a> What do you think of the plans of the official Palestinian Authority to name a street for the terrorist who killed 38 Israelis in the 1978 Coastal Road Massacre?
