Mother and wife are "very proud" of terrorist "hero"

Official PA TV program A Link in the Chain shows poster with symbols of Fatah and the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades:
“’Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade
Martyr (Shahid) Imad Mughniyeh squad
Fatah’s Military Wing
Warmly blesses the prisoner’s family: Alaa Salah’”
Mother of prisoner Alaa Ahmad Abd Al-Mun'im Salah: “I consider Alaa a hero from among the heroes of Palestine, regardless of whether he was a prisoner or a Martyr, because we have achieved Martyrdom (Shahada) in the past. That is, his brother achieved Martyrdom in the past [during the Intifada] (i.e., the first Palestinian wave of violence against Israel, 1988-1993), and his uncles also, in the past, in the days of ’67. This is not a new thing for us. And, Praise be to Allah, I am very proud of him, because Alaa is still patient and resolute.”
Wife of prisoner Alaa Ahmad Abd Al-Mun'im Salah: “Alaa, Praise be to Allah, Master of the universe – his arrest is an honor for us. Praise be to Allah, Master of the universe, it is an honor for me that he is a prisoner, and if he were a Martyr, Praise be to Allah, that [would be] a huge honor… The verdict is life imprisonment. Why? Because he is from Palestine, because he is Palestinian. And the charge? They charged him with false [charges]. I swear that Alaa is a hero, and, Praise be to Allah, Master of the universe, it is an honor for me – whether he is a prisoner or a Martyr. Praise be to Allah, Master of the universe, who honored us with this fate.”
