Many people go to underprivileged nations and help. It does not make them martyrs.

before everyone at the UN Eurabia and Soros Whte Housw blame Israel. OH WAIT...Ashton, the German left wing parliamentarians and Samantha Powers already have

He deserves the Darwin award for stupidity, not an award from the PA.

when an israeli kills a palestinian that israeli is refered as the enemy. when a pro-palestinian is killed by another pro-palestinian again it is the enemies of palestine to blame. and who is the enemy of palestine?

but the premise is the basically the same. Hope his family enjoys the medal...about as worthless as a "Palestinian Passport".

die or be expelled for the cause, and win "Palestinian citizenship". So that's how they got to the number of 5 million "Palestinians". They had to include their Leftist supporters too.

Awarding a medal with a name to which they have no right, after a city over which they will never have any control? How very typically ersatz "Palestinian." That kind of thinking over the past seven decades is precisely why they are where they are today .... which is to say -- nowhere .... and sinking fast. "Jerusalem medal," indeed! Too funny! It is also -- given his particular set of hatreds -- not something that Arrigoni would particularly appreciate. He knew damned well who controls Jerusalem -- and who always will. Far more appropriate would have been awarding him the "Ersatz 'Palestinian' Medal of Appreciation for Wannabe Terrorists."

Arrigoni for Darwin award!! He was used by terrorists while alive and will serve their means after death. May his soul RIP ( although I doubt it)

Co-winners of the 2011 Darwin award.

for being honored by the Soros funded Islamists? you must have been murdered by those you are stupid enough to support. I shall toast many more such medals

their dead bodies. The Pals don't care about these men. This gesture is pure damage control. But there are idiots who will interpret this a a fine gesture. This is so freakish.

It´s not very hard to became a palestine. Several hundred of thousand that came from other muslims countries at the beginning of the 20th century and their descendents became the palestinian people.

What Palestine and how they dare to use the name of Jerusalem for their propaganda?? Hopefully they will sink soon in their own sh*t for their cynical misrepresentation and lies.

"He was murdered by a malicious hand that does not represent the tradition and values of the Palestinian people." Who does he think he's fooling?

why should they considered martyirs? they have been kiiled by palestinians not by israelis? i'm 100% sure that hamas is the responsable of both murders. hamas kills whoever wants peace and whoever wants the palestinians unification. Vittorio understood that hamas and terrorism is the problem of the palestinians so hamas killed him.

What a silly thing to say Sarah. Shows how the U.S. media has brainwashed you. Jerusalem is the Capital of Palestinian and is currently being illegally* occupied, like most of Palestine. He deserves the Medal and as a British Citizen, I look forward to seeing 100 Boats enter Gaza (One carrying Vittorio Arrigoni's family as well as many diplomats around the world. I really hope Israel attacks and shows the world it doesn't want peace.

First, they are not "underpriveleged" (they get the most 'foreign taxpayers money per capita in the world and the W-bank had (so they claimed) a GDP of approx. 6%). Second they are not a "Nation". What are they?......they are Arabs, who changed their name into Palestinians and who understood that playing the 'I'm so poor card, will bring them whatever they want from a world who 'loves to love the poor guy. What DO they have?........a great PR.

he was paving away for the slaughter of Israelis, and at that point him and all his pacifist fans will be nowhere to be seen I saw the video of him and you could tell he was fearful, he was not willing to die which means he did not believe in his cause

Before you go making a fool out of yourself you might want to pick up a Bible which makes very clear that Jerusalem is / was and always will be a Jewish city. How Ironic that you point a finger at Sarah B's post and call it silly when your own post is so monumentally stupid.

Ha ha ha...the arabs award a worthless medal to try and change the fact that it was they who killed the Leftist stooge. What? No candy?

You have it right: Useful Idiots about covers it all. Israelis should assign an outhouse for them as do the Pals name streets after them.

"Jerusalem is the capital of Palestine" There is no country called Palestine. For over 3,300 years Jerusalem has been theJewish capital. Jerusalem has never been the capital of any Arab or Muslim entity. Even when the Jordanians occupied Jerusalem, they never sought to make it their capital & Arab leaders did not come to visit. Jerusalem is mentioned over 700 times in the Tanach, the Jewish Holy Scriptures. Jersualem is not mentioned even once in the Koran. King David found the the city of Jerusalem, Mohammed never came to Jerusalem. Jews pray facing Jerusalem.Muslims pray with their backs towards Jerusalem. I suggest you start learning about the history of Jersualem before you babble your silly nonsense here.

a badge saying you threw away your life for the cause of hatred? no thanks.

Like the Mafia. On one hand they murder, on the other hand they send huge bouquet to his funeral…

sell the medals at ebay.there is for sure an idiot in the world who pays good money for the dung.

Don't Arabs have honest historians who can correct this injustice to Jews? Its amazing how ignorant the Nations against Israel are.The Arabs led by caliph Umar captured Jerusalem in 634 thereby then islamicised every Jewish place that the caliph prayed at including building a mosque on the Holiest Jewish site.Arab rule in Israel ended officially in 1948 with the return of Israel to their home.The ancestors of Vittorio(Romans) were defeated by muslims and are irrelevant.The Arabs should wake up,stop hiding behind terminologies like palestine and go home to Arabia instead of theatrics.
