Arab Lawyers Union grants its highest honor to Palestinian suicide bomber

When you read things like this, you have to wonder what kind of peace Israel is expected to make with these "people".
(JPost) The Arab Lawyers Union [ALU] on Friday honored the Palestinian woman who carried out the 2003 suicide bombing at Maxim's Restaurant in Haifa by awarding her the highest decoration to ever be granted by the union.

Twenty-one people were killed and 51 injured in the attack, which was carried out by Hanadi Jaradat, a law student from Jenin who was due to qualify as a lawyer in a few weeks.

She was the sixth female suicide bomber during the second intifida.

The Cairo-based union, which represents lawyers from 15 Arab countries, dispatched a delegation to the home of Hanadi Jaradat in Jenin to present them with the award.

Ayman Abu Eisheh, member of the Palestine Committee at the ALU, said that the decision to honor the female suicide bomber was made during a meeting in Cairo last month.

Abu Eisheh was among the lawyers who visited Jaradat's family.

He said that the delegation relayed to the family greetings from the head of the ALU, Omar al-Zein, and head of the Palestine Committee, Sayed Abdel Ghani.

Abu Eisheh said that the Arab lawyers were proud of what Jaradat did "in defense of Palestine and the Arab nation."
