Related: About this forumDespite Husband's Terrorist Links, Palestinian Teacher to Keep U.K. Non-violence Prize
Best Teacher in the World! A hero to all!
The current I/P conflict can be easily summarized by this latest act of depravity.
In no way have the husband or wife shown remorse for past terror actions.
This shows utter contempt for Jewish victims of terror.
This is why Israel is needed more than ever for Jews throughout the world.
The husband's terror ties aren't reported anywhere outside of the Jewish press.
The world is still insane.
The U.K.-based foundation that awarded a Palestinian schoolteacher a $1 million prize for preaching nonviolence is sticking by its choice following revelations that the woman's husband participated in an attack that killed at least six Israelis three decades ago.
Earlier this month, the Varkey Foundation awarded Hanan al-Hroub its Global Teacher Prize. In its selection, it cited her slogan "No to Violence" and her efforts in protecting Palestinian schoolchildren from the effects of living in a conflict zone. She had developed a book called "We Play and Learn" focusing on the importance of playing, trust, respect, honesty and literacy.
However, her husband, Omar, served time in Israeli prison, convicted as an accomplice in a bombing attack that killed six Israelis as they were walking home from sabbath prayers in the West Bank city of Hebron in 1980. According to an Associated Press account at the time, Omar al-Hroub was a chemist who provided chemicals needed for making the bombs.

Revealed, how UK aid funds TERRORISTS: After yet more budget cuts, another £12bn of your taxes are being splurged on foreign hand-outs for militants, killers, Palestinian palaces and jobs that don't exist
The scandal of how Britain fritters away billions in foreign aid including paying salaries to convicted terrorists who have murdered hundreds of innocent people is exposed today by a major MoS investigation.
The shocking revelation that thousands of Palestinian terrorists, including men who have masterminded suicide bombings and murdered children, are given cash handouts from aid money will cause anger and disbelief, particularly in the wake of the Brussels massacres.
