Fatah honors two suicide terrorists:

Terrorist who killed 11 and wounded dozens is
"hero" who "succeeded in breaking
the Zionists' security barriers
and breaching their fortresses"

Terrorist who killed one and wounded over 100 is
"the sun of Palestine and its shining beacon"

Shooting terrorist is "heroic Martyr"

Celebrating the anniversary of terrorist Ali Ja'ara's suicide bombing in 2004, in which he killed 11 and wounded dozens, the Fatah movement posted a text on its official Facebook page today, glorifying the killer as the "quiet hero" who "succeeded in breaking the Zionists' security barriers and breaching their fortresses." Photos of the terrorist and the blown up bus accompany the text. Fatah's Facebook page administrator went on to say about the suicide terrorist that:

"He carried a message on his body and he placed it in front of [then- Israeli Prime Minister Ariel] Sharon's home, as if he were a bolt of lightning."
 
In keeping with its policy of honoring terrorist murderers, Fatah honored another suicide bomber a few days ago. "The sun of Palestine and its shining beacon" is how Fatah described Wafa Idris, the first female Palestinian suicide bomber, who blew herself up in central Jerusalem in 2001, killing one and injuring over 100. These words of praise were part of the text Fatah posted, which also named her "acts" "heroic" and "an object of pride, honor and admiration," and glorified her as being "sharp as a sword and strong as an oak tree":

"[Wafa Idris] was quick in making decisions and daring in taking stands. She was sharp as a sword and strong as an oak tree. She decided to carry out a Martyrdom-seeking operation (i.e., suicide attack) deep inside the [Israeli] entity and her body exploded on Jaffa Road in occupied Jerusalem... Wafa passed away, but her heroic acts remain an object of pride, honor and admiration... And today you are the sun of Palestine and its shining beacon."
 
Yesterday, Palestinian Media Watch reported that Abbas' advisor praised a terrorist, who shot at an Israeli military post and who was subsequently killed, as a "heroic Martyr" who "challenged the Zionist enemy". Today, Fatah followed suit, wishing "the heroic Martyr" "glory and eternity."

PMW has documented that Fatah regularly honors suicide terrorists and other murderers on its Facebook page.

Suicide terrorist Ja'ara's body was among those returned by Israel to the PA in June 2012, and whom the PA honored with a military funeral for heroes.

The following are longer excerpts of the texts glorifying the terrorists, which were posted by the administrator of one of Fatah's official Facebook pages:

"The anniversary of the Martyrdom death of the righteous
Martyrdom-seeker (i.e., suicide bomber) Ali Ja'ara from the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades in Palestine, Fatah's military wing... [who] blew up an Israeli bus near the residence of the Israeli Prime Minister, killing 11 Israelis and wounding approximately 55. He surprised everyone; this quiet hero, this compassionate young man, who advocated [his positions] with forbearance, succeeded in breaking the Zionists' security barriers and breaching their fortresses. He carried a message on his body and he placed it in front of [then- Israeli Prime Minister Ariel] Sharon's home, as if he were a bolt of lightning.
Rest in peace, hero."

Note:
Ali Ja'ara - was a suicide bomber from the terrorist organization the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigade (Fatah's military wing) who blew himself up on the no. 19 bus in Jerusalem on Jan. 29, 2004, killing 11 people and wounding dozens.


"Wafa Idris, a Palestinian who knows the way."
"By Hassan Faqih"
"January 28, 2002...
[Wafa Idris] was quick in making decisions and daring in taking stands. She was sharp as a sword and strong as an oak tree. She decided to carry out a Martyrdom-seeking operation (i.e., suicide attack) deep inside the [Israeli] entity and her body exploded on Jaffa Road in occupied Jerusalem - the same road where a sharp and swift change occurred in terms of responding to the occupation's crimes against our people, to avenge the blood of Martyr (Shahid) commander, Raed Al-Karmi, one of the founders of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades.
Wafa passed away, but her heroic acts remain an object of pride, honor and admiration. Today, our people and mothers feel your loss. Today the Palestinian Red Crescent, the organization to which you belonged, feels your loss... And today you are the sun of Palestine and its shining beacon."
[Facebook, "Fatah - The Main Page," Jan. 28, 2014]
 
Note:
Wafa Idris - was the first Palestinian female suicide bomber. She killed one and injured over 100 in her attack in central Jerusalem on January 27, 2002. As a volunteer for the Palestinian Red Crescent, she was able to bypass Israeli security and enter Jerusalem in a Palestinian ambulance.

Raed Al-Karmi - was a senior Tanzim (Fatah terror faction) operative and responsible for the murder of nine Israelis in several attacks: Etgar Zeituni and Motti Dayan on January 23, 2001; Zvi Shelef on May 31, 2001; Danny Yehuda on June 18, 2001; Elie Na'aman on July 4, 2001; Dov Roseman on August 26, 2001; Hananya Ben Avraham on August 5, 2001; soldier Yaniv Levy on August 28, 2001 and Israeli army officer Erez Merhavi on September 6, 2001. Al-Karmi was killed by the Israeli army on January 14, 2002.
