Fatah official commemorates arch-terrorist Abu Jihad, “the Prince of Martyrs”
"At the end of its [Seventh International Bil'in] Conference, Bil'in held a memorial ceremony marking the third anniversary of the Martyr (Shahid) death of Bassam Abu Rahma, and marking the conclusion of the operations of the Seventh International Bil'in Conference for Popular Resistance, [held] under the slogan 'We are the broadest circle, on the national and world level, for popular resistance against the occupation.'
In his words on behalf of the Fatah movement, Fatah Central Committee member Sultan Abu Al-Einein noted the anniversary [of the deaths] of the three Martyrs: the two Kamals [Kamal Nasser and Kamal Adwan], and Abu Yusuf Al-Najjar, and the anniversary of the death of the Prince of Martyrs, Abu Jihad, Khalil Al-Wazir, which coincides with the anniversary of the death of Bassam Abu Rahma, and Palestinian Prisoners' Day. [Al-Einein] emphasized that our people, which has sacrificed greatly, continues with determination towards freedom."
Note: The article notes that Israeli-Arab MP Muhammad Barakeh attended the ceremony.
Abu Jihad (Khalil Al-Wazir) was a founder of Fatah and deputy to Yasser Arafat. He headed the PLO terror organization’s military wing and planned many deadly Fatah terror attacks, including the worst in Israeli history, the hijacking of a bus and killing of 37 civilians, 12 of them children.
Abu Rahma was killed during a protest against the security fence in Bil'in in 2009.
Abu Yusuf Al-Najjar was Arafat's deputy and Commander of Operations for the terrorist organization Black September.
Kamal Nasser and Kamal Adwan were killed in the same operation.
