Headline: “Qusai Al-Tamimi died as a Martyr in his brother’s arms”

“Mahmoud, the father of Martyr [Qusai Al-Tamimi] (i.e., terrorist, died while participating in violent riots), said: ‘The occupation did not give my son [even a few] minutes. He stood together with a number of young people next to the entrance to the village [Nabi Saleh] in protest over the massacre that the occupation forces committed early in the morning in Nablus, and he was shot (sic., the rioters threw explosives at soldiers; the mention of Nablus refers to Israeli forces attacking a terrorist weapons laboratory).’ …

He continued: ‘We have nothing to give the homeland and the [Palestinian] cause other than this pure blood. My brother Bakr [Al-Tamimi] (PMW was unable to determine the circumstances of his death -Ed.) died as a Martyr in 1984 when I was 20, and today I am bidding farewell to my son, my offspring, when I am nearly 60. We are prepared to sacrifice that which is precious to us so that we will have an independent homeland.’

He added: ‘Qusai completed the matriculation exams last year [2021], and he worked for some time in a restaurant in Ramallah. He was beloved in the village, and he never aspired to have a car or to have a home, or to prepare himself for the future. He aspired to Martyrdom, and indeed he achieved it.’”
