PA daily refers to Israelis as “colonialist Zionist herds”
“The murder of Martyr (Shahid) Ziad Abu Ein by the army of death and the colonialist Zionist herds came as a huge shock to the [Palestinian] political leadership and people, for [through it] the murderous Israelis have confirmed that they do not distinguish between ministers, senior officials or ordinary citizens, nor between members of one faction or another, or even those without any [factional] affiliation, because the Zionist Israeli target is the Arabic-speaking Arab Palestinian.”
Note: Ziad Abu Ein died on Dec. 10, 2014 at a demonstration in the West Bank that turned violent. Immediately following his death, PA and Fatah leaders claimed that Abu Ein was murdered. Footage from the event shows Abu Ein in an altercation with an Israeli soldier who grabbed Abu Ein by the neck, and later shows Abu Ein on the ground clutching his chest in pain. The autopsy, which was overseen by Israeli and Palestinian pathologists, revealed that the cause of death was a heart attack, but disagreement remains over the extent to which the altercation with Israeli forces may have caused the heart attack. Palestinians have continued to describe Abu Ein's death as a "murder" and "assassination" by Israel.
