“We are proud of all” the terrorist murderers, says Fatah deputy chairman
Abbas’ Fatah Deputy Chairman on imprisoned terrorist murderers:
They “live in the heart, conscience, and awareness of every Palestinian”
“Nothing equals [their] value”
Terrorist responsible for murder of 7 is “a national figure of stature”
PA’s terror mom is “giant of endurance”
While PA and Fatah Chairman Mahmoud Abbas is keen to present himself as “moderate” and “peace-seeking” to the international community, the statements by the person he appointed to be Fatah Deputy Chairman tell a different story.
Fatah’s no. 2, Mahmoud Al-Aloul glorifies terrorists and murderers of Israelis and promotes them as unequalled in “value.”
Thus Al-Aloul praised all imprisoned Palestinian terrorists as “a large group of beloved people,” noting that Palestinians are “proud of them all.” Al-Aloul made this statement while sitting next to the PA’s terror mom - Um Nasser Abu Hmeid – a Palestinian woman famous and honored by the PA for being the mother of 5 terrorist prisoners who are responsible for at least 10 murders and all serving life sentences. Accordingly, Al-Aloul praised her as “a giant of endurance”:
Fatah Deputy Chairman Mahmoud Al-Aloul: “I’m completely happy that next to me is sitting a giant of endurance, who I don’t at all think there is anyone who exceeds her endurance and stamina: The mother of five prisoners and also the mother of Martyrs (sic., one terrorist son was killed) – of course, Um Nasser Abu Hmeid… We can’t speak about all the prisoners, but we are proud of them all, of dear Marwan [Barghouti], of dear Karim [Younes] (i.e., both terrorist murderers), of Fuad Al-Shubaki (i.e., weapons smuggler), and of the large group of beloved people… They live in the heart, conscience, and awareness of every Palestinian.”

Later, Al-Aloul praised one of Um Hmeid’s imprisoned sons responsible for the murder of 7 Israelis as “a national figure of stature,” stressing the unsurpassed “value” of the imprisoned terrorists:
“Al-Aloul noted that prisoner Abu Hmeid is a national figure of stature, and that he is one of five brothers who are dealing with life sentences in the Israeli occupation’s prisons. Al-Aloul emphasized that Fatah’s highlight in its struggle during the current stage will be the cause of the prisoners, and foremost among them prisoner Abu Hmeid. He added that nothing equals the value of the prisoners, and that there is no greater sacrifice than the sacrifice of freedom.”

Palestinian Media Watch has exposed that the mother of the 5 terrorists is continuously honored by the PA as a role model of Palestinian society. PA Chairman Abbas has met with her and the PA has honored herseveral times. PA Prime Minister Muhammad Shtayyeh and PA Minister of Women’s Affairs Amal Hamad have paraded Um Hmeid as an icon for women. In 2011, the PA chose her to launch the PA’s statehood campaign with the UN.
The following is a longer excerpt of Al-Aloul’s statement cited above and additional info on the imprisoned terrorists mentioned:
Headline: “Al-Aloul: We are working in all directions so that prisoner Nasser Abu Hmeid will be released and receive treatment”
“Fatah Movement Deputy Chairman [and Fatah Central Committee member] Mahmoud Al-Aloul said that the recent [health] exams that prisoner Nasser Abu Hmeid (i.e., terrorist, responsible for murder of 7) underwent found that he has a malignant growth in his liver, which necessitates an intensive monitoring of his health, especially because the growth has spread in his body.
He added: ‘[PA] President Mahmoud Abbas gave orders to pressure the Israeli occupation authorities to release prisoner Abu Hmeid and treat him, through diplomatic activity that the Palestinian embassies are leading.’ …
Al-Aloul said: ‘At the beginning it was said that prisoner Abu Hmeid had no problems with his liver, but due to the policy of medical neglect (sic., see note below regarding PA libel on medical abuse of Palestinian prisoners) and the long procrastination on everything connected to providing medical treatment, currently we see that complications have begun and he has lost weight…’
Al-Aloul noted that prisoner Abu Hmeid is a national figure of stature, and that he is one of five brothers who are dealing with life sentences in the Israeli occupation’s prisons (see note below on Um Nasser Abu Hmeid and her terrorist sons who are responsible for at least 10 murders -Ed.).
Al-Aloul emphasized that Fatah’s highlight in its struggle during the current stage will be the cause of the prisoners, and foremost among them prisoner Abu Hmeid. He added that nothing equals the value of the prisoners, and that there is no greater sacrifice than the sacrifice of freedom.”
