Terrorist prisoners are “heroic,” their imprisonment is “a mark of Cain on the forehead of humanity”
Prisoners’ program For You visits home of prisoner Fakhri Barghouti. A filler broadcast at the beginning of the program honors prisoner Fakhri Barghouti, who was a member of a Fatah unit that was suspected of killing an Israeli army officer.
Alongside his photograph the following appears:
“34 years in captivity. You are our pride, and pride will come from the doorway of your lions’ den.”
Prisoner’s son, Hadi, says: “The connection between Nael Barghouti and Fakhri Barghouti is that they are cousins. I don’t want to say ‘cousins’, because they’re [really like] brothers, courageous. They have a connection from childhood until now. They are involved with one another outside of prison as well as inside prison.”
[The two prisoners were jointly involved in the murder of an Israeli army officer.]
Hadi: “The fact that Nael Barghouti, Fakhri Barghouti, Akram Mansour, and other prisoners have spent many years in the occupation’s prisons is a mark of Cain on the forehead of humanity.”

Host: “Every blessing to our brother – prisoner Fakhri Barghouti. As Hadi, the son of prisoner Fakhri said – the fact that Nael Barghouti, Fakhri Barghouti and Akram Mansour are [in prison] is a mark of Cain on the forehead of humanity. Truly, the fact that these honored, heroic prisoners are [in prison] is a mark of Cain on the forehead of humanity as a whole.”
Note: Nael and Fakhri Barghouti were part of a Fatah squad who killed an Israeli officer in 1978. They are serving life sentences for this killing.
Akram Mansour is serving a life sentence for killing a reserve soldier in 1979.
