Official PA TV, broadcast of the film This is My Land and This is the Home by singer Raed Kabha, which includes the song From Acre Prison praising murderers Muhammad Jamjoum and Fuad Hijazi who participated in the 1929 Hebron Massacre and accompanying riots
Singer Raed Kabha: “From Acre Prison is one of the most famous songs written by popular poet Nouh Ibrahim, who was a prisoner in the Acre Prison several years after the hanging of the three heroes (i.e., murderers Muhammad Jamjoum, Fuad Hijazi, and Ataa Al-Zir), which perpetuated the memory of the heroes and became an epic in the popular literature and a famous national song.
‘From Acre Prison went forth the funeral
Of Muhammad Jamjoum and Fuad Hijazi.
Take revenge for them, my people,
Against the [British] High Commissioner and his people.’”
Muhammad Jamjoum, Fuad Hijazi, and Ataa Al-Zir “committed particularly brutal murders [of Jews] at Safed and Hebron,” according to the report by British Government to the League of Nations. They were convicted of attacking British soldiers and murdering Jews in the 1929 Hebron Massacre, in which 65 Jews were murdered. They were executed by the British in 1930.
