An hour before his death sentence, brutal murderer "martyr" Fuad Hijazi "smiled, his soul was calm, and his courage was abundant"

Official PA TV program The TV Lexicon, filler on murderer Fuad Hijazi – see note below

Official PA TV host: “[Fuad Hijazi] (i.e., murderer) actively participated in Safed in the revolution that broke out and included all parts of Palestine in 1929, in which hundreds of residents were killed and wounded (i.e., the 1929 Arab Riots). The British Mandate government issued a death sentence on 26 who participated in it, and afterwards it commuted the death sentence to a life sentence for 23 of them but left the death sentence for three of them: Fuad Hijazi, Ataa Al-Zir, and Muhammad Jamjoum. It determined June 17, 1930 as the day for carrying out the sentence, despite the Arab protests and condemnations. An hour before the sentence was carried out, the British occupation authorities allowed them to receive their visitors while wearing the red clothing of those sentenced to death and waiting for their final hour. The Martyrs smiled, their souls were calm, and their courage was abundant. They are the ones who consoled their visitors instead of [their visitors] consoling them. Martyr Fuad Hijazi told his visitors: ‘If the execution of us three will to some degree remove the British nightmare from the noble Arab nation, then may a death penalty be applied to tens of thousands like us, so that the nightmare will be completely removed from us.’”

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.
