Official PA Daily reports on Palestinian terrorist murderer, portraying her as an innocent schoolgirl – "bars and chains have not killed the spirit of the girl who had bullets puncture her body and schoolbag"
Headline: “Norhan – willpower that overcomes the prison guard”
“‘Mom, if only you could see me grow up. I am no longer the little girl I was. Now I am 23. I grew up in seven years, mom, while far away from you, from dad, from my brothers, and from my sisters. If only I was next to you so you could give me advice and so I could cry in your embrace during times of trouble. I have passed through many stops in captivity, but I can only pray for your sake and for the sake of dad and all my loved ones. Wipe your tears, mom, because they are precious to my heart, and smile because tomorrow will be better, Allah willing.’ These words are not quotes from a novel, but rather part of a personal letter that female prisoner Norhan Awwad (i.e., terrorist, stabbed and wounded 1 person together with her cousin), from the Qalandiya refugee camp north of Jerusalem, wrote to her mother…
On Nov. 23, 2015… Norhan, a 10th grader, went out to the school in the refugee camp together with her cousin Hadeel, just like every day. Apparently their schoolbags looked to the occupation soldiers like a military vest hiding a nuclear weapon, and they rained a hail of live ammunition down on them (sic., the two stabbed a Palestinian they mistook for a Jew in central Jerusalem, not in Qalandiya, and then were filmed by security camera as they attempted to stab a policeman who shot them). Hadeel died as a Martyr at the site, while Norhan was wounded by three (sic., two) bullets…
The Israeli Military Advocate General insisted on accusing prisoner Norhan of an attempt to carry out a stabbing operation and planning to murder settlers together with her cousin, Martyr Hadeel. It gave her a severe and exaggerated punishment – 13 years in prison, which were reduced to 10 years, and a monetary fine of 30,000 [Israeli] shekels…
The bars and chains have not succeeded in killing the spirit of Norhan, the girl who had bullets puncture her body and schoolbag, and who left her school bench and school. She had achieved an average of 94 in the final exams in high school and enrolled for studies at Abu Dis University in the sociology track.
The princess bound in chains donated her braids for cancer patients of her own initiative, and thus she became the pride of her family, her parents, and her refugee camp.”
