Palestinian Media Watch reports that, at a ceremony celebrating
International Women's Day, Secretary-General of the PA Chairman Abbas' office
Tayeb Abd Al-Rahim cited female terrorist murderer Dalal Mughrabi as an example, pointing out
that her role as leader of the attack is "testimony" of gender
equality within Fatah:
"From the outbreak of our revolution in 1965, the outlook of the Palestinian National Liberation Movement - Fatah - has been clear in its social aspect; it saw no difference between women and men, and Dalal Mughrabi who led men is testimony to this."[Official PA daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, March 16, 2018]
Glorifying female terrorists was a repeating Palestinian theme for International Women's Day:
"District Governor of Qalqilya Rafe' Rawajbeh participated in the ceremony [for International Women's Day]... The district governor expressed his appreciation for the Palestinian women's giving, their sacrifice, and their participation in the national struggle in all of its stages. He mentioned hero Dalal Mughrabi- the anniversary of whose death as a Martyr (Shahida) is now - as a symbol of women rejecting the occupation."[Official PA daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, March 13, 2018]
At a recent ceremony at the
El-Bireh High School for Girls, school principal Nida Abd Rabbo announced that
promoting terrorist murderer Dalal Mughrabi as a role model to female students
is an "educational responsibility":
"... [the Al-Yasser Cultural] forum's goal is ...to return the glory to the fighting Palestinian girls and women such as Dalal Mughrabi and others who sacrificed their lives for Palestine, and also to provide information and knowledge to these female students during recesses..."[Official PA daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, March 19, 2018]
PA Minister of Education Sabri Saidam and Fatah Movement Central Committee
member Jamal Muhaisen were also present at the ceremony. Palestinian Media Watch
has documented that 5 PA schools are named after
terrorist Dalal Mughrabi and dozens of other schools are named after other
terrorist murderers.
Marking the 40th anniversary of Mughrabi's attack, Fatah posted a video
praising her, focusing on the fact that the leader of
the attack was a woman.
The Fatah Movement also honored terrorist Mughrabi in Gaza by naming an organizational course after her. The official PA daily reported that "dozens of leaders of the western Gaza Fatah branches" participated in the Dalal Mughrabi course. [Official PA daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, March 23, 2018]
