Attacking terrorists are defenseless “workers… killed on baseless pretexts” but also “heroes”

Head of the Palestinian Workers’ Organization in Lebanon Ghassan Biqa’i: Our workers who go to work in the morning are killed on baseless pretexts. They are heroes, they are self-sacrificing fighters. We don’t deny that they are self-sacrificing fighters, but generally they are murdered in cold blood without any reason, without warning. [The Israelis] throw a knife next to the worker and say he came to carry out an operation (i.e., terror attack). We are proud of a worker who dies as a Martyr. We know that he is a self-sacrificing fighter.

“A self-sacrificing fighter” is a term the PA uses for terrorists who attack Israelis, prepared to die in the act as they “sacrifice themselves.”

Ghassan Biqa’i made this statement right after many Palestinian terrorists were killed while attacking Israelis during the month of Ramadan.
