Students at the Palestinian Al-Quds Open University (Dura branch) were welcomed this week at a reception for new students by a large banner teaching them who Palestinian "heroes" are. Students looked up to see a huge banner on stage with pictures of founders and heads of terror organizations who are responsible for the deaths of many hundreds of Israelis:
- Abu Ali Mustafa, head of PLFP
- Fathi Shaqaqi, founder of Islamic Jihad
- Ahmad Yassin, founder of Hamas
- Yasser Arafat, former PLO and PA Chairman
- Salah Khalaf, head of Black September
- Abu Jihad, head of the PLO terror organization's military wing
Abu Jihad (Khalil Al-Wazir) headed the PLO terror organization's military wing and planned many deadly Fatah terror attacks in the 1960's - 1980's. These attacks, which murdered a total of 125 Israelis, included the most lethal in Israeli history - the hijacking of a bus and murder of 37 civilians, 12 of them children.
Salah Khalaf headed the terror organization Black September, a secret branch of Fatah established by Yasser Arafat. Attacks he planned included 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).

The banner at Al-Quds Open University included the logo of the university's branch of Fatah's student movement Shabiba that includes the slogan: "From the sea of blood of the Martyrs (Shahids) we will create a state," as well as the PA map of "Palestine" that presents all of Israel as "Palestine" together with the PA areas in the colors of the Palestinian flag. The logo of Al-Quds Open University also appeared on the banner, next to an additional PA map of "Palestine" in the colors of the Palestinian flag.
Recently, Palestinian Media Watch documented that Fatah's youth movement Shabiba had distributed a diary to high school students in Bethlehem, which likewise featured photos of arch-terrorists Abu Jihad and Salah Khalaf.
Al-Quds Open University also helps terrorists imprisoned in Israel circumvent Israeli law which prohibits university programs for terrorists in prison as they constitute a reward for terror. However, Al-Quds Open University runs an organized program in cooperation with the Palestinian Authority Ministry of Education, and last year PMW reported that 484 terrorist prisoners were studying for BA degrees in Al-Quds Open University's program.
Fatah official Jamal Muhaisen was one of the speakers at the event. Muhaisen delegitimizes Israel's right to exist and is in favor of the "struggle to defend the sites that are holy to Islam," which usually means support for violence and terror.
