PA TV glorifies leaders of Black September terror organization on anniversary of their deaths
Official PA TV News, on the 28th anniversary of the deaths of terrorists and Fatah founders Salah Khalaf - Abu Iyad and Hayel Abd Al-Hamid, and terrorist and Black September terrorist organization founder Fakhri Al-Omari
Official PA TV newsreader: "Today [Jan. 14, 2019] is the 28th anniversary of the assassination of two Fatah Movement Central Committee members – Salah Khalaf Abu Iyad (i.e., terrorist and Fatah founder, responsible for more than 13 murders) and Hayel Abd Al-Hamid (i.e., Fatah founder) – and also of fighter Fakhri Al-Omari (i.e., terrorist and Black September founder, responsible for more than 11 murders)."
(An excerpt of a recorded speech by terrorist and Fatah founder Salah Khalaf "Abu Iyad" is played –Ed.)
Terrorist and Fatah founder Salah Khalaf "Abu Iyad": "Before 1952-1953 they established camps in order to settle us. Throughout this desert there will be the Palestinians, and this is their homeland in the place of Palestine."
Newsreader: "The picture has not changed from what Palestinian commander Salah Khalaf said before his assassination on Jan. 14, 1991 in Tunisia. Abu Iyad, 'the conscience of the revolution' as he was called, was not alone that day. In his company were the two leaders Hayel Abd Al-Hamid 'Abu Al-Hol' and Fakhri Al-Omari 'Abu Muhammad.'"
Salah Khalaf: "The Zionist thinks that his direct contradiction is the word 'Palestine.' And what we said at the beginning to our Arab brothers – we say that without the Palestinian revolution they will lose on the regional level. We say 'Palestinian' because all of the Arabs are with us in the Palestinian revolution. Every Muslim who is with us in the Palestinian revolution needs to be Palestinian, until we confront the Zionist plan that does not want the word 'Palestine.'"
Newsreader: "A man with a security [philosophy] and revolutionary philosophy and Abu Iyad's right hand, Hayel Abd Al-Hamid, was also assassinated when he tried to protect Abu Iyad…
The occupation thought that by murdering the leaders it would stop their influence on the ground, but they have risen up one after the other, rebelling against it and against its plans."
(A eulogy given at their funerals by former PLO and PA Chairman Yasser Arafat is played –Ed.)
Former PLO and PA Chairman Yasser Arafat: "The promise is the promise. The Israelis will not be able to extinguish the fire of the revolution. The revolution that they began continues until victory."
