In the “revitalized PA,” terrorists still reign as the PA’s superheroes
- Planner of murder of 125, Abu Jihad, is “a lofty example of sacrifice, daring, and self-sacrifice”
- Murderer of 37, Dalal Mughrabi, was “known for her daring, her courage"
- Planner of murder of 5, “fighting commander” Marwan Barghouti, is “a clear national symbol and a model of inspiration for the masses of our people”
- In the “revitalized PA,” terrorists still reign as the PA’s superheroes
Every year on the day of his death, the PA and Fatah celebrate arch-terrorist Abu Jihad as a great Palestinian leader and role model. On several occasions, the PA has proudly bragged that Abu Jihad was responsible for the murder of at least 125 Israelis in terror attacks. This year, the US-propelled “revitalized” PA is no different. Terrorists are still the PA’s ultimate role models.
1) Abu Jihad
Abu Jihad was the mastermind of the most lethal terror attack in Israel’s history prior to Hamas’ massacre on Oct. 7, 2023. In the “Coastal Road massacre,” a group of Fatah terrorists hijacked an Israeli bus with civilians and murdered 37, including 12 children.
To Fatah, Abu Jihad is “a lofty example of sacrifice, daring, and self-sacrifice,” and PA Chairman Abbas’ movement pledged again this year that it will continue to follow terrorist Abu Jihad’s “principles” and “draw inspiration from his opinions and ideas”:
“The Fatah Movement emphasized that during his campaign of national struggle, leader symbol Martyr Khalil Al-Wazir ‘Abu Jihad’ (i.e., terrorist, responsible for murder of 125) constituted a lofty example of sacrifice, daring, and self-sacrifice...
On the occasion of the 36th anniversary of the Martyrdom-death of founding leader Abu Jihad, Fatah said that it will not deviate from the principles and foundations that were delineated by Martyr leader [Abu Jihad] since the outbreak of the modern Palestinian revolution…
Fatah added that the anniversary of leader Abu Jihad’s death as a Martyr… motivates us to draw inspiration from his opinions and ideas.”
[Official PA daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, April 16, 2024]
To
stress its appreciation for Abu Jihad and his terror attacks, Fatah
posted a video of him encouraging terror, using the PA euphemism
“self-defense by all means”:
Khalil Al-Wazir “Abu Jihad”: “This desire will never weaken under any circumstances. It is the desire of determination and the desire to continue the struggle and the self-defense by all means (i.e., Palestinian term that also refers to the use of violence and terror).”
[Fatah Commission of Information and Culture, Facebook page,
April 16, 2024]
The timing of the rebroadcast of this particular video in which Abu Jihad calls for continued “self-defense by all means” is significant. The PA leadership, including Mahmoud Abbas, the PA prime minister, and Abbas’ advisor, have all defined the Oct. 7 atrocities as “self-defense”:
“[PA] President [Mahmoud Abbas] instructed to provide defense to our people, and he emphasized the Palestinian people’s right to self-defense.”
[WAFA, official PA news agency, Oct. 7, 2023]
"[PA Prime Minister Muhammad] Shtayyeh emphasized the Palestinian people’s right to defend its land and its holy sites."
[WAFA, official PA news agency, Oct. 7, 2023]
Mahmoud Abbas' Advisor on Religious Affairs Mahmoud Al-Habbash:
Mahmoud Al-Habbash: “We are enacting our legitimate right in resisting these invaders defending ourselves, and defending our holy sites and our people.”
[Official PA TV, Oct. 8, 2023]
Mahmoud Abbas' Advisor on Religious Affairs Mahmoud Al-Habbash:
“The occupation (i.e., Israel) is the reason that makes the Palestinians resist. The resistance is self-defense. It is a legal right. The occupation is the one that contradicts international law.”
[Mahmoud Abbas’ Advisor on Religious Affairs and Islamic Relations Mahmoud Al-Habbash, Facebook page, Nov. 12, 2023]
2) Dalal Mughrabi
Another celebrated PA hero and role model is Dalal Mughrabi. She led the group of Fatah terrorists from Lebanon who carried out the murder of 37 people in the Coastal Road massacre in 1978. As with other terror attacks, in order to justify the murders and to enhance its image as being successful in terror, the PA falsely claimed that the dead Israeli civilians were all “soldiers” and exaggerated the number of Israeli victims, claiming that “hundreds on the Israeli side were killed and wounded”:
Official PA TV reporter: "Dalal Mughrabi (i.e., terrorist, led murder of 37), the young Palestinian female fighter, known as the Bride of Jaffa. She shattered all the occupation’s (i.e., Israel’s) expectations: How could a Palestinian woman reach such a level of courage and lead an operation of hijacking a bus of Israeli soldiers (sic., civilians) that caused the killing of more than 30 Israelis in 1978 … Dalal and her squad…took over the bus with all of its soldier passengers (sic.), while outside the bus, the battle continued with other Israeli soldiers. Hundreds on the Israeli side were killed and wounded (sic., 37 murdered, 70 wounded)."
[Official PA TV News, March 12, 2024]
In both its official publications, the PA printed a long article praising murderer Mughrabi for “her daring and her courage” and her “devotion to Palestine.” (See full text below):
“Today [March 11, 2024] is the 46th anniversary of the Martyrdom-death of Palestinian fighter Dalal Mughrabi (i.e., terrorist who led murder of 37, 12 of them children). Fighter Mughrabi...decided to join the ranks of the Palestinian revolution and to act in the ranks of the self-sacrificing fighters (Fedayeen) in the Fatah Movement while still a student. She took many military courses and received lessons in guerilla warfare, during which she trained with different weapons. While taking these courses, she became known for her daring, her courage, her well-developed national sentiment, and for her devotion to Palestine and Fatah.”
[WAFA, official PA news agency, March 11, 2024;
Official PA daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, March 12, 2024]
Presenting the eagerness to murder Israelis as an admirable quality, the PA described the terrorists as ”competing” to be chosen to participate in the attack, and “first among them Dalal Mughrabi, who was 20.” As on TV, here too the PA lied, saying the dead Israeli civilians were “soldiers” and that they numbered in the “hundreds.”
Marking murderer Mughrabi’s death during the attack, Abbas’ Fatah Movement stressed Mughrabi’s “will” and directive to all Palestinians to continue to fight Israel and “escalate the conflict against the Zionist enemy”:
The article included an old poster featuring the 13 terrorists involved in the 1978 Coastal Road massacre. Text on poster:
“Dalal and her squad
Fatah and Palestine – Embrace until victory”
“Before her Martyrdom, Dalal left a written last will in her handwriting to the Palestinians, in which she wrote: ‘My last will to you all, my rifle-bearing brothers, begins with freezing the secondary conflicts and escalating the main conflict against the Zionist enemy and aiming the rifles, all the rifles, at the Zionist enemy. What protects the independence of the Palestinian decision is the firm rifles of all the Palestinians. I say to all my brothers wherever they are to continue on the same path we went on.’”

In another post, Fatah included photos of the bus that was hijacked and destroyed by Dalal Mughrabi and her terror cell. [Fatah Commission of Information and Culture, Facebook page, April 10, 2024]
3) Marwan Barghouti
A third Palestinian hero is imprisoned terrorist and PA Parliament Member Marwan Barghouti, who is serving 5 life sentences for orchestrating 3 shooting attacks in which 5 people were murdered. While imprisoned, he was re-elected to the PA parliament and elected to Fatah's Central Committee. On the date of his arrest, the PA and Fatah praised him as “a clear national symbol and an inspiring model of struggle for the masses of our people” as well as “a prominent symbol on the path of national struggle.” Fatah also stressed Barghouti’s involvement in the two terror waves—the intifadas—in which Palestinians murdered over 1,300 Israelis:
“The Fatah Movement emphasized that fighting commander, Fatah Central Committee member, and prisoner Marwan Barghouti (i.e., terrorist, orchestrated three attacks in which 5 were murdered) is a clear national symbol and an inspiring model of struggle for the masses of our people…
Fatah explained that fighting commander prisoner Marwan Barghouti still constitutes a prominent symbol on the path of national struggle, and noted his pioneering, national, and organizational role since he led the student movement, and afterwards his role on the ground during the first and second Intifadas (i.e., Palestinian wave of violence and terror against Israel, approximately 200 Israelis murdered, 1987-1993; PA terror campaign 2000-2005, more than 1,100 Israelis murdered).”
[Official PA daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, April 15, 2023]
Palestinian Media Watch reported last year that at a rally in honor of Barghouti, Fatah played one of Barghouti’s speeches in which he urged terror and praised several terrorists and terrorist murderers, including Hamas founders Ahmed Yassin and Al-Rantisi, Abu Jihad, and Hamas bomb-maker Yahya Ayyash “the engineer.”
Fatah also didn’t miss the opportunity to mark another attack planned by Abu Jihad: The Savoy Hotel “operation.” Here too, terrorists sailed from Lebanon and took over the Savoy Hotel in Tel Aviv, killing 3 and taking hotel guests and staff hostage. When Israeli forces carried out a rescue operation, the terrorists murdered 5 hostages and 3 soldiers. Here too, Fatah exaggerated the number of Israelis killed, claiming “more than 100”:
Text of announcement: “On March 5, 1975, two squads of Fatah Movement self-sacrificing fighters carried out the Savoy Hotel operation.
The operation was planned by Martyr commander Khalil Al-Wazir ‘Abu Jihad,’ in response to the crime of assassinating leaders Kamal Adwan, Kamal Nasser (i.e., senior members of the Black September terror organization), and Abu Yusuf Al-Najjar (i.e., operations commander of Black September) in 1973…
The operation led to the death of more than 100 Israelis (sic., 11).”
[Fatah Commission of Information and Culture, Facebook page,
March 5, 2024]
The PLO Commission of Prisoners’ Affairs and the PA-funded Prisoners’ Club praised Barghouti as a “leader and national fighter” who “led the most brilliant and lofty form of confrontation and struggle” – i.e., the second Intifada and the murder of more than 1,100 Israelis in terror attacks:
Posted text: “A statement issued by the [PLO] Commission of Prisoners’ Affairs and the Palestinian [PA-funded] Prisoners’ Club on the 22nd anniversary of the arrest of… leader, national fighter, and Fatah Movement Central Committee member Marwan Barghouti (i.e., terrorist, orchestrated three attacks in which 5 were murdered)… His arrest was part of the path of recurring persecution, expulsion, and assassination attempts by the occupation (i.e., Israel) against him at the height of the Al-Aqsa Intifada (i.e., PA terror campaign 2000-2005, more than 1,100 Israelis murdered) and in an attempt to [bring about its] collapse, as prisoner Barghouti led the Al-Aqsa Intifada, during which the Palestinian people and all the revolutionary forces presented the most brilliant and lofty form of confrontation and struggle against the occupation.”
[PLO Commission of Prisoners’ Affairs, Facebook page, April 15, 2024]
The following are longer excerpts of the statements cited above and additional reports on the 3 PA heroes:
Headline: “Fatah: We will continue the struggle amid commitment to the principles of leader Abu Jihad, the attempts to harm leader Marwan Barghouti will not weaken his willpower”
“The Fatah Movement emphasized that during his campaign of national struggle, leader symbol Martyr Khalil Al-Wazir ‘Abu Jihad’ (i.e., terrorist, responsible for murder of 125) constituted a lofty example of sacrifice, daring, and self-sacrifice, in order to extricate our people’s historical rights and complete its national liberation project.
In a statement yesterday, Monday [April 15, 2024], on the occasion of the 36th anniversary of the Martyrdom-death of founding leader Abu Jihad, Fatah said it would not deviate from the principles and foundations that were delineated by Martyr leader [Abu Jihad] since the outbreak of the modern Palestinian revolution…
Fatah added that the anniversary of leader Abu Jihad’s Martyrdom-death… motivates us to draw inspiration from his opinions and ideas regarding the need for national unity and the need to entrench in the national trench, distance ourselves from secondary conflicts, and focus on the conflict with the occupation (i.e., Israel) and its colonialist project.”

Abu Jihad (Khalil Al-Wazir) - was a founder of Fatah and deputy to Yasser Arafat. He headed the PLO terror organization's military wing and also planned many deadly Fatah terror attacks in the 1960s - 1980s. These attacks, in which a total of 125 Israelis were murdered, included the Coastal Road attack that (until Oct. 7, 2023) was the most lethal in Israeli history - the hijacking of a bus and murder of 37 civilians, 12 of them children.

Headline: “46 years since the death as a Martyr of fighter Dalal Mughrabi”
“Today [March 11, 2024] is (“yesterday was” in the official PA daily version of the article -Ed.) the 46th anniversary of the Martyrdom-death of Palestinian fighter Dalal Mughrabi (i.e., terrorist who led murder of 37, 12 of them children). Fighter Mughrabi was born in 1958 in one of the Palestinian refugee camps in Beirut. She was the daughter of a family from Jaffa that escaped to Lebanon following the 1948 Nakba (i.e., “the catastrophe,” the Palestinian term for the establishment of the State of Israel)…
She decided to join the ranks of the Palestinian revolution and to act in the ranks of the self-sacrificing fighters (Fedayeen) in the Fatah Movement while still a student. She took many military courses and received lessons in guerilla warfare, during which she trained with different weapons. While taking these courses, she became known for her daring, her courage, her well-developed national sentiment, and her devotion to Palestine and Fatah.
The assassination of the three Fatah leaders Kamal Adwan, Kamal Nasser, and Abu Yusuf Al-Najjar (i.e., terrorist organization leaders responsible for the deaths of many Israelis) by the Israelis in 1973 had a negative impact on Dalal. In addition, the incessant and despicable aggression against the refugee camps caused her a feeling of bitterness, as did the wretchedness in which her family lived – like the rest of the residents of the refugee camps – as a result of their forced leaving, which would not have taken place if not for the occupation of her land – Palestine – by Israel. For this reason, Dalal – like the rest of her friends and partners in grief from among the residents of the refugee camps – began to be struck by negative and stormy feelings, which gave birth to a determination within her to carry out an act that would satisfy her desire [for revenge].
The Deir Yassin squad (i.e., Mughrabi’s terror cell) presented the plan to Martyr commander Khalil Al-Wazir 'Abu Jihad' (i.e., terrorist, responsible for the murder of 125 Israelis). The plan was based on a landing operation on the Palestinian coast, taking over a military bus, and setting out in the direction of Tel Aviv in order to attack the Israeli Parliament building (a building which is located in Jerusalem –Ed.). The self-sacrificing fighters competed among themselves to participate, and first among them Dalal Mughrabi, who was 20. She was selected to lead the squad that would carry out the operation, which was made up of 10 self-sacrificing fighters.
The operation was known as the 'Kamal Adwan' operation, and the squad was known as 'Deir Yassin.’
On the morning of March 11, 1978, Mughrabi disembarked from a boat passing opposite the Palestinian coast together with her squad…
Dalal and her squad succeeded in reaching Tel Aviv (sic., the terror squad never reached Tel Aviv) and took over the bus with all of its soldier passengers (sic., only civilian passengers were on the bus), while outside the bus the battle continued with other Israeli soldiers. Hundreds on the Israeli side were killed and wounded (sic., 37 murdered and 70 wounded), and in light of the heavy losses, the Israeli government assigned a special military unit – commanded by Ehud Barak (then military commander and later prime minister of Israel –Ed.) – to stop the bus and kill and arrest its passengers (sic., apparently meaning the terror squad). [The military unit] used planes and tanks to surround the self-sacrificing fighters, which caused Dalal Mughrabi to blow up the bus with its passengers. As a result, the Israeli soldiers were killed. The moment that [Dalal and her squad's] ammunition ran out, Barak ordered to reap all of the self-sacrificing fighters with machine guns, and all of them died as Martyrs (sic., 2 of the terrorists survived).
It should be noted that the Israeli occupation authorities are still holding the body of Martyr Dalal Mughrabi in the 'numbered cemeteries’ (i.e., Israeli cemeteries for temporary burial of terrorists)."

Official PA daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, March 12, 2024]
Dalal Mughrabi – female Palestinian terrorist who led the attack that (until Oct. 7, 2023) was the most lethal terror attack in Israel’s history, known as the Coastal Road massacre, in 1978, when she and other Fatah terrorists hijacked a bus on Israel's Coastal Highway, murdering 37 civilians, 12 of them children, and wounding over 70. In text note: (i.e., terrorist who led murder of 37, 12 of them children)
Kamal Adwan and Kamal Nasser were both senior members of Black September, a secret branch of Fatah, who were killed by Israeli forces in April 1973. Kamal Nasser was also the spokesperson for the PLO and Fatah. Kamal Adwan was responsible for Fatah terrorist operations in Israel.
Abu Yusuf Al-Najjar - was Arafat's deputy and among the founders of Fatah. He was the Commander of Al-Asifa, Fatah's military unit, and a member of Fatah's Central Committee and the PLO's Executive Committee. He also was the Commander of Operations of the terror organization Black September, a secret branch of Fatah, and involved in the murder of 11 Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics (Sept. 5, 1972). He was killed by Israel in 1973.
Deir Yassin - On April 9, 1948, Jewish fighters from the Irgun and Lehi military groups, part of the forces opening the blockaded road to Jerusalem, attacked the Arab village of Deir Yassin. When the battle was over, the village had fallen and in addition to the Arab fighters killed, 107 civilians were also killed. Narratives differ as to whether the civilians were killed in the crossfire or were intentionally murdered by the Irgun and Lehi fighters.
The Cemeteries for Enemy Casualties (numbered cemeteries) are two burial sites maintained by the Israeli army for burying the bodies of enemy soldiers during wartime as well as terrorists. They are fenced and well-marked. Graves have markers instead of gravestones. Burial is temporary, as the bodies are eventually returned to their countries of origin. No ceremony is held. The bodies are buried in numbered caskets after their identities are documented.
Headline: “46 years since the Kamal Adwan operation and the Martyrdom of Dalal Mughrabi and the heroes of the Deir Yassin squad”
“On March 11, 1978, 30 years after the Deir Yassin massacre (see note below -Ed.), a self-sacrificing squad led by Martyr Dalal Mughrabi (i.e., terrorist who led murder of 37, 12 of them children) set out by sea to Haifa (i.e., an Israeli city) to carry out an operation that was planned by Martyr [Khalil Al-Wazir] ‘Abu Jihad’ (i.e., terrorist, responsible for murder of 125) in the heart of the occupied territories (sic., sovereign Israel). This squad was called ‘the Deir Yassin squad,’ and it was led by Dalal Mughrabi ‘the Bride of Jaffa.’ In the operation, a bus of soldiers (sic., all the passengers were civilians) was hijacked in Israel in 1978, which led to the deaths of more than 30 Israelis. Dalal died as a Martyr in the operation together with other resistance fighters, and she is the one whom [poet] Nizar Qabbani said of her that ‘she established the Palestinian republic.’ …
Before her Martyrdom, Dalal left a written last will in her handwriting to the Palestinians, in which she wrote: ‘My last will to you all, my rifle-bearing brothers, begins with freezing the secondary conflicts and escalating the main conflict against the Zionist enemy and aiming the rifles, all the rifles, at the Zionist enemy. What protects the independence of the Palestinian decision is the firm rifles of all the Palestinians. I say to all my brothers wherever they are to continue on the same path we went on.’”
