Fatah: Suicide bomber is "the giant"
who "blew himself up inside a Zionist bus...
which led to the death of 11 Zionists"
 


By Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik

Fatah celebrated the anniversary of the death of a "heroic Martyr" and "giant" who blew himself up on a bus in Jerusalem and murdered 11 Israelis and wounded dozens, on Jan. 29, 2004. The suicide bomber Ali Munir Yusuf Ja'ara was from the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades (Fatah's military wing) and a member of the PA police force.

Fatah's Bethlehem branch praised the murderer and celebrated his killing of "11 Zionists":

"Ali Munir Yusuf Ja'ara... This giant, who rose up, shattered the enemy's myth, crossed its separation fence, its fortifications, and its feeble Israeli Security Agency forces, got on bus number 19, and blew his body up in exactly the same neighborhood where arch-murderer [then Israeli Prime Minister Ariel] Sharon lived. Martyrdom-seeker Ali Munir Ja'ara from the Aida refugee camp in Bethlehem blew himself up inside a Zionist bus next to the home of the terrorist Sharon in occupied Jerusalem, which led to the death of 11 Zionists and the wounding of approximately 53 others."

The branch expressed "admiration" for the murderer and vowed to "keep loyal to the Martyrs' blood." Moreover, it advocated seeking death fighting Israel, urging Palestinians to engage in "revolution... until victory or Martyrdom":

"We in the Bethlehem branch of the Fatah Movement send a blessing of honor and admiration to the soul of heroic Martyr Ali Munir Ja'ara on the anniversary of his death as a Martyr, and we vow to Almighty Allah that we will continue to be loyal to the blood of all of the heroic Martyrs.
The revolution is until victory or Martyrdom."

Palestinian Media Watch has exposed similar statements by PA and Fatah leaders glorifying the "Martyrs' blood" and "Martyrdom." Recently, proud Palestinian parents said about their "martyred" children that "the blood of the Martyrs is a beacon that lights the path to liberation and freedom." Likewise, Fatah's student movement Shabiba teaches students at two Palestinian universities that: "From the sea of blood of the Martyrs we will create a state."

PMW documented Fatah's use of the phrase "a killing for a killing, a bomb for a bomb, and fear for fear" in a similar post honoring female suicide bomber Zainab Abu Salem who murdered 2.

Another PA official who turned terrorist and was honored last week by Fatah was Amjad Jasser Al-Sukkari. He served as the personal security guard of the PA General Attorney when he shot and injured 3 Israeli soldiers on Jan. 31, 2016. Fatah posted a photo of the "Martyr" with the text:

The following are longer excerpts of Fatah's two posts:

Posted text: "In the name of All Merciful Allah
'Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties [in exchange] for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah, so they kill and are killed. [It is] a true promise [binding] upon Him in the Torah and the Gospel and the Qur'an. And who is truer to his covenant than Allah? So rejoice in your transaction which you have contracted. And it is that which is the great attainment' [Quran, Sura 9:111, Sahih International translation].
Great truth of God
Today is the anniversary of the death of heroic Martyr (Shahid) Ali Munir Yusuf Ja'ara (i.e., suicide bomber, murdered 11)
Ali Munir Yusuf Ja'ara, a member of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades - the military wing of the Fatah Movement, and the quiet police officer whose family is known for its history of Jihad and its affiliation with the Fatah Movement. This giant, who rose up, shattered the enemy's myth, crossed its separation fence, its fortifications, and its feeble Israeli Security Agency forces, got on bus number 19, and blew his body up in exactly the same neighborhood where arch-murderer [then Israeli Prime Minister Ariel] Sharon lived. Martyrdom-seeker Ali Munir Ja'ara from the Aida refugee camp in Bethlehem blew himself up inside a Zionist bus next to the home of the terrorist Sharon in occupied Jerusalem, which led to the death of 11 Zionists and the wounding of approximately 53 others.
The operation came in response to a massacre in the Al-Zeitouna neighborhood in Gaza (sic., a day before the suicide bombing Israeli forces came under fire and killed 8, at least 3 of them Islamic Jihad terrorists). Today we in the Bethlehem branch of the Fatah Movement send a blessing of honor and admiration to the soul of heroic Martyr Ali Munir Ja'ara on the anniversary of his death as a Martyr, and we vow to Almighty Allah that we will continue to be loyal to the blood of all of the heroic Martyrs.
The revolution is until victory or Martyrdom."
