PA daily prints PA Minister’s last words: “The entire land is Palestinian land”
Headline: “We will continue to resist – the final words of Martyr (Shahid) [Ziad] Abu Ein”
[Ziad Abu Ein said:] They attacked me and beat me. Yet this fascist occupation will leave, and the Palestinian people will triumph. This occupation will not defeat us. All these attacks and confiscations [of land] are illegal. The destiny of our people is to resist this occupation and its actions. We will continue to resist, and the entire land is Palestinian land.”
Note: Ziad Abu Ein - Fatah Revolutionary Council member and head of the PA Committee to Resist Settlements and the Wall. Abu Ein died on Dec. 10, 2014 at a demonstration in the West Bank that turned violent. Immediately following his death, PA and Fatah leaders claimed that Abu Ein was murdered. Footage from the event shows Abu Ein in an altercation with an Israeli soldier who grabbed Abu Ein by the neck, and later shows Abu Ein on the ground clutching his chest in pain. The autopsy, which was overseen by Israeli and Palestinian pathologists, revealed that the cause of death was a heart attack, but disagreement remains over the extent to which the altercation with Israeli forces may have caused the heart attack. Palestinians have continued to describe Abu Ein's death as a "murder" and "assassination" by Israel.
