"During a ceremony honoring the teachers, which was held today [Jan. 10, 2017] by The National Al-Lud Association in the presence of a number of official figures, [District Governor of Ramallah and El-Bireh] Dr. Laila Ghannam praised the Palestinian teacher and his role in building the homeland despite all of the obstacles that the occupation has placed before our people throughout history, in a speech she gave as the representative of His Honor [PA] President [Mahmoud Abbas]. She noted that the teacher, in his determination, stability, and belief, has turned the refugee tent into a school out of which generations have come who strive to change the reality, outline the hope, and build the future. Ghannam emphasized that the teachers are the essence of the story, and they are the leaders and giants of the modern Palestinian revolution, from the righteous Martyrs (Shahids) Abu Iyad (i.e., Fatah founder and head of the Black September terrorist organization) and Abu Jihad (i.e., Fatah founder and terrorist responsible for murder of 125), and until the teacher, the leader, His Honor President Mahmoud Abbas, who gives special attention to the fields of education and health out of his belief that human intelligence is the real capital, and the beginning of the path to the establishment of our independent Palestinian state."

Abu Iyad (Salah Khalaf) - One of the founders of Fatah and head of the terror organization Black September. Attacks he planned include the murder of 11 Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics (Sept. 5, 1972) and the murder of two American diplomats in Sudan (March 1, 1973). It is commonly assumed that his assassin, a former Fatah bodyguard, was sent by the Abu Nidal Organization, a rival Palestinian faction.

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 1960’s - 1980’s. These attacks, which killed a total of 125 Israelis, included the most lethal in Israeli history - the hijacking of a bus and killing of 37 civilians, 12 of them children.
