‘Globalize the Intifada’: A Call to Repeat 2001 Sbarro Restaurant Bombing in Israel (VIDEO)

This week marks the anniversary of the August 9, 2001 Palestinian suicide bombing at the Sbarro pizza restaurant in central Jerusalem. Sixteen people, including eight children, were killed in one of the deadliest attacks of the Second Intifada. Another 130 were injured.

As of 2021, Mahmoud Abbas’ Palestinian Authority had rewarded the perpetrators and their families with almost $1.2 million, as part of Ramallah’s “Pay-for-Slay” policy that critics argue incentivizes terrorism against Israelis.

Ahlam Tamimi, who chose Sbarro as a target and drove the bomber there, is currently living in Jordan, after being released from an Israeli jail in a prisoner swap deal with Hamas. Tamimi never expressed any regret. On the contrary, she has continued to boast about how many innocents she helped murder.

When anti-Israel protesters in Brooklyn chant, “From New York to Gaza, globalize the Intifada,” they are encouraging actions that mimic Tamimi’s.
