Women are "partners" in terror, boasts PA minister of women’s affairs, proving gender equality "especially in matters of national struggle"
Official PA TV program Palestine This Morning, on Palestinian Women’s Day
PA Minister of Women’s Affairs Amal Hamad: “The first women’s committee was on Oct. 26, 1929, in the shadow of the Al-Buraq Rebellion (i.e., the 1929 Hebron Massacre and accompanying riots), the mighty rebellion in which great Martyrs died who are immortalized by history, including Muhammad Jamoum, Fadi (sic., Fuad) Hijazi, and Ataa Al-Zir (i.e., murderers) – the mighty rebellion in which the women were partners in the battle of resolve and defiance, and nine female Martyrs died in it…
We don’t think that there is a difference [between the genders] in the Palestinian public, especially in matters of the national struggle, and we emphasize that we are all hand in hand. This is always the slogan, and the proof of this is what I said about Muhammad Jamjoum and Ataa Al-Zir – I said that there were nine female Martyrs. And we speak about Dalal Mughrabi (i.e., terrorist who led murder of 37, 12 of them children) and the Martyrs of the [Fatah] Central Committee, and there is a long list and there are also female prisoners in the occupation’s prisons. Therefore, we are going with [the men] hand in hand.”
Muhammad Jamjoum, Fuad Hijazi, and Ataa Al-Zir
