Official PA TV program I Call You hosted Muhammad Tareq Izz A-Din, director of Voice of the Prisoners Radio (broadcast from Gaza and considered affiliated with Hamas)

Note: Director of Voice of the Prisoners Radio Muhammad Tareq Izz A-Din says that the prisoners carried out heroic acts during the Intifada and killed hundreds of Israeli soldiers, and at the time everyone applauded them but today no one remembers them.


Director of Voice of the Prisoners Radio Muhammad Tareq Izz A-Din: “Some people do not know who Lina Al-Jarbouni is, after she spent 15 years in prison. They do not know who Karim Younes and Maher Younes are. They do not know who Thabet Mardawi, commander of the battle arena in Jenin, Anas Jaradat, who was sentenced to 34 life sentences, and Ibrahim Hamed are. These heroes are the symbols of the homeland. They hurt the occupation and a tremendous uproar erupted because of them at the time of the invasion of the West Bank (i.e., a large Israeli military operation in April 2002 in response to the many suicide bombings during PA terror campaign - the second Intifada, 2000-2005), great names that make us tremble with awe.”
