Top PA/Fatah official (Rajoub): Terrorist murderers - including Hamas founder Yassin - are “giants and legends”
Fatah Central Committee Secretary Jibril Rajoub: “If the Arabs continue to pressure us together with the Israelis and the Americans – we will change the rules of engagement with the Israelis. We won’t open fire on the Arabs and we don't want to escalate against anyone, but we are capable of controlling the rules of engagement., And by the way, all the options are open… In the shade of the Palestinian flag… we will all take refuge… draw nearer to one another, to think, eat, drink, sing, and live our lives as Palestinians, through the pride and glory of our people’s sacrifices – our Martyrs, our prisoners, our wounded… The Israelis assassinated Yasser Arafat because of his patriotism, and so too regarding Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, and Abu Ali Mustafa. They are giants. We must be loyal to this heritage. And also [to] those who are still in prison, and foremost among them Karim Younes… Maher Younes, Ahmad Sa’adat, and Marwan Barghouti… We have 6,000 giants inside the prisons whose names I cannot mention, but each one of them is a legend, each one of them is an ethos.”
