Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Palestinian students honor as “role model” the worst jihad mass murderer in Israel’s history

Jan 19, 2018 7:04 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

In full jihad mode, the Fatah Shabiba student movement sings praises to Dalal Mughrabi as a role model for Palestinian students; “and other terrorist murderers” , chanting…..

Abu Iyad lives and is not dead, his soul is with us…
Abu Jihad lives and is not dead… O Jaffa, Dalal [Mughrabi] liberated your land”

Abu Iyad was one of Fatah’s first military leaders.

In this video, the host of the Fatah-run channel, Awdah TV, also glorifies jihad and commends the “Bride of ‎Palestine, the daughter and Martyr of the Palestinian revolution, Dalal Mughrabi” as a role model whose memory “has been engraved in history in letters that will never be ‎forgotten”.

This is also the ongoing message of the Fatah’s Shabiba student movement, which operates influentially at Birzeit University in Ramallah. It uses a map that erases Israel in its logo and calls itself “The Sisters of Dalal Mughrabi”.

Dalal Mughrabi led the most lethal terror attack in Israel’s history, known as the Coastal Road massacre, in 1978, when she and other Fatah terrorists hijacked a bus on Israel’s Coastal Highway, killing 37 civilians, 12 of them children, and wounding over 70.

This is the kind of violent hatred that rules the hearts of  jihadists, and it is not unique. It is widespread, despite the incessant media drives to cover it up. Dalal al-Mughrabi also has a Women’s Community Center named after her in the northern West Bank. It was initially sponsored by the UN and Norwegian governments, both of which withdrew funding after discovering that it was named in her honor.

“Female Palestinian university students taught to view terrorist Dalal Mughrabi who led murder of 37 as ‘role model,'” by Nan Jacques Zilberdik, Palestinian Media Watch, January 18, 2018:

Official PA TV host: “Let’s recall the self-sacrificing operation (i.e., terror attack) carried out by heroic leader and Martyr Dalal Mughrabi who is considered an example of the Palestinian women’s struggle.”
Madeline Manna, Coordinator, Fatah university committee Sisters of Dalal: “In the Palestinian universities, especially in the Fatah Shabiba [Student Movement], the female student committees were named after Martyr Dalal Mughrabi – Sisters of Dalal – after the Martyr who was the commander of 11 men. We learn leadership from her, and that women always lead… Dalal Mughrabi is a role model, like other heroic female Martyrs in Palestine. We draw willpower and determination from her, and perseverance and [the will to] continue this struggle.”
[Official PA TV, Palestine This Morning, Jan. 1, 2018]

Dalal Mughrabi led the most lethal terror attack in Israel’s history, known as the Coastal Road massacre, in 1978, when she and other Fatah terrorists hijacked a bus on Israel’s Coastal Highway, murdering 37 civilians, 12 of them children, and wounding over 70.

The presentation of Mughrabi as an example for imitation is not surprising as Palestinian Media Watch has documented numerous times that the PA has turned her into a role model for society. Terrorist Mughrabi’s status as a “hero” among Palestinians was emphasized again recently when a center for women, which was funded by European money, was named after the murderer. Following PMW’s exposure, Norway and Denmark withdrew their funding to the center.

Fatah’s student movement Shabiba also honored murderer Mughrabi. In a music video Shabiba glorified Mughrabi as having “liberated Jaffa” and praised other terrorist murderers:

“Our Shabiba (i.e., Fatah Youth Movement) is the Shabiba of the Elder (i.e., Yasser Arafat)
We are walking in your path, no matter what will be…
Abu Iyad lives and is not dead, his soul is with us, we will not forget him
Abu Jihad lives and is not dead, an idea never dies…
Fatah is my organization, O mother of the self-sacrificing fighters…
To Marwan Barghouti, the Shabiba sends its greatest greetings
Do not think that we have forgotten the blood that was spilled
O Jaffa, Dalal [Mughrabi] liberated your land.”
[Facebook page of Fatah Deputy Chairman Mahmoud Al-Aloul, Dec. 14, 2017]

Promoting this message, Fatah Deputy Chairman and Fatah Central Committee member Mahmoud Al-Aloul posted the video with the following text added, also praising heads of terror organizations:

Posted text: “May we triumph for Yasser [Arafat], [Ahmed] Yassin (i.e., founder of Hamas), Abu Ali Mustafa (i.e., Sec.-Gen. of the PFLP), and [Fathi] Shaqaqi (i.e., founder of Islamic Jihad); may we triumph for Jerusalem, the capital of the State of Palestine
#Jerusalem_the_capital_of_Palestine
#The_national_unity_is_the_climax_of_the_victory
#Friday_of_rage”
[Facebook page of Fatah Deputy Chairman Mahmoud Al-Aloul, Dec. 14, 2017]

Al-Aloul’s post followed shortly after US President Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. Al-Aloul’s call for a “Friday of rage” was one among many coming from PA and Fatah leaders, as PMW reported.

Similarly, Fatah Revolutionary Council member Muhammad Al-Laham listed terrorist Dalal Mughrabi among those “who are more honorable than all of us”:

“[PA] President Mahmoud Abbas has said more than once in recent years that we are remaining here and not leaving… This is our land in which we are remaining. This period is the time of Ahed Tamimi (i.e., Palestinian teenager who attacked Israeli soldiers). From Dalal Mughrabi and all of the female and male Martyrs (Shahids) who are more honorable than all of us.”
[Official PA TV, Topic of the Day, Jan. 1, 2018]

The following are the terrorists mentioned in the song by the Fatah youth movement Shabiba and by Deputy Chairman of Fatah, Al-Aloul:

Dalal Mughrabi led the most lethal terror attack in Israel’s history, known as the Coastal Road massacre, in 1978, when she and other Fatah terrorists hijacked a bus on Israel’s Coastal Highway, murdering 37 civilians, 12 of them children, and wounding over 70.

Ahmed Yassin – Founder and former head of the terrorist organization Hamas. The Hamas movement is responsible for numerous terror attacks and the deaths of hundreds of Israeli civilians.

Abu Ali Mustafa – Secretary-General of the terror organization Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). The PFLP, which rejected the Oslo Accords (1993), has planned and carried out numerous terror attacks against Israeli civilians since its founding in 1967 and throughout the Palestinian terror campaign between 2000-2005 (the Intifada).

Fathi Shaqaqi – Founder of the terrorist organization Islamic Jihad, which has carried out more than 1,000 terror attacks, murdering and wounding hundreds of Israeli civilians. He was killed by Israel in Malta in 1995…..

    This is why I try to tell people in our Church how bad these scum are, as many feel sorry for them, I try and show them but they are deaf dumb and blind to Israels plight, they have bought into this rubbish about replacement theology, even when they say that, I ask them how about the people of Israels right to exist and have their Own land as God decreed, blinkers are on tight with many people
    All I can do is try and educate people, damned hard when they are so blind

      Good luck with your efforts. I am not surprised as most church leaders don’t encourage their congregation to think critically and they also promote disengagement from the world.

        Horrifying how bad the leadership is in churches across the nation….

        Many have wax in their ears….and also have cut their tongues….

      Yes Wazza, it’s very difficult dealing with people who can’t or won’t face the truth.

      Many have the attitude that ‘If it was really that bad, then I would’ve heard about it already,’ then you smile and say to them, “But you are hearing about it right now, because it’s the very thing that we’re talking about”, and their eyes kinda glass over, a bit like a dead dog’s.

      Don’t be discouraged though, and don’t get angry; when the change comes it may happen quicker than you expect.

      • b.a. freeman says

        Jan 19, 2018 at 12:25 pm

        i can vouch for that, WorkingClassPost; after starting out liberal (because that’s what i was taught in school), i have been a conservative most of my life, and a born-again christian for about half of it, all the while believing that islam was “just another religion.” after 9/11, i tried to figure islam out by reading the quran (at the USC site, IIRC), but of course was unable to understand what it was all about. i did not know that the surahs are ordered from longest to shortest; i didn’t know about the doctrine of abrogation; i didn’t realize that the sunnah was also part of (sunni) islamic scripture; i didn’t realize how prominent sex and sexual gratification were in islam. i just thought that it was an “abrahamic” religion, so i just assumed that it had beliefs similar to, but different than, christianity (if wrong, from my christian perspective). i indeed had the belief that “if it were really that bad, somebody would have said so by now.”

        most people who go through schools, because they are told the schooling is “formal” and taught by professionals, believe that what they have learned, although it may not be comprehensive, is at least accurate as far as it goes. if they have succeeded in learning how to learn, they will be unafraid to follow the evidence to whatever end it leads. some people, in spite of not having been taught to think critically, stumble across and learn it anyway. in all cases, however, we all must learn certain tenets from others. nobody has time to discover everything from first principles; civilization is built from the common experience of millions of people, both alive and dead (the latter through writings, and lately, audio and video). in other words, we all assume that most of what we have learned is fairly close to the truth.

        the left learned much in the last century as they conquered third-world countries; one of the most important lessons they learned was that if they taught everybody to read after a revolution, it would be seen as a virtuous act, but more importantly, since they would control all sources of information, new readers tended to use the powerful new tool they had acquired in the ability to read to sop up leftist beliefs from the only reading material that the State provided like sponges. the greatest success of the left was with children, since those beliefs to which a very young child is exposed are usually the most difficult for him to unlearn later in life. the left was already in the process of taking over the educational establishment in westernized republics, so they simply extended their reach, often via leftist teacher’s unions, from post-doctoral studies down to pre-kindergarten. they were then able to replace the teaching of critical thinking with the memorization of leftist rubbish; nobody should be surprised any longer that half of the population of most republics is at least nominally leftist.

        the bottom line is that if the information U encounter has *any* political association, it may be suspect if it was learned in school. in my case, i was taught history by memorizing dates, geography, wars, generals, and kings. *not* *once* did my teachers ever bother to teach me about the underlying philosophies of same, nor did they even provide opportunities to learn about them, other than by access to school and public libraries. as i mentioned, i tried to find out about islam much later in life, but gave up, because i was lazy and didn’t bother looking beyond the confusing quran. once i actually stumbled across a couple of websites, i finally grasped the evil that is facing civilization.

        thus WorkingClassPost, your post says it all. we *do* live in civilization, and we *do* get information from other people, so it it *imperative* that we share what we know. all we have to do is politely engage our friends and family, and gently encourage them to look at islam for themselves, making sure that they understand just a few basic things like taqiyyah, abrogation, and that the sunnah is also islamic scripture. it also helps to provide links, such as those at https://thereligionofpeace.com/pages/site/links.aspx, or specific documents, like https://www.jihadwatch.org/islam-101. most non-muslim people are decent (as are even a large number of muslims, most of whom don’t know their religion), and if U suggest that they look for the truth to protect muslims against bigotry, even nominal leftists may actually take U up on it. stranger things have happened; eric allen bell, an independent leftist filmmaker, looked for himself, and has changed his views on islam:
        https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/122048/high-price-telling-truth-about-islam-eric-allen-bell

        *any* effort to spread the truth is worth the work!

        Thanks for the comment, hard not to get discouraged though, getting angry solves nothing hey. Just shake my head as some even have said, well we do worship the same God, I laughed that time and said, no way they worship the Sun God, then they come back with they believe in Jesus like we do on another occasion I said did you know they believe that when their Mahdi returns, Christ will come back to serve him and to make Christians convert to Islam, the blinkers and blindness is strong with some people

      Aldo hard when so many Christian orgs actively support jihad against Israel.
      Look at EAPPI, for example. Kairos, World Vision etc.

    • StellaSaidSo says

      Jan 19, 2018 at 10:49 pm

      I know what you’re up against, Wazza, and have the bruises to prove it (head > brick wall). Christians have bought into the liberal narrative, en masse, with the result that the potential for criticism of Islam, or of immigration policy, from Christian quarters is largely neutralised. Generous inducements to Christian churches for support in facilitating re-settlement of ‘refugees’ has also had the effect of stifling criticism. Muslim Brotherhood penetration of Christian communities (eg via initiatives like ‘Inter-faith Dialogue’) is a more serious concern than many people realise. If I hear another Christian banging on about ‘our brothers in Abraham’, I think I will be obliged to whack him on the side of the head with my copy of the Koran.

      • Wazza says

        Jan 19, 2018 at 11:39 pm

        Stella, please don’t use the Koran, the Muslimes, the Cops, the Gov’t, the Libturds will be after you, and that is no joke with how these people who were supposed to watch over us are bending over backwards to support them
        All commenters, stay safe as we know the enemy is within and they don’t all wear hijabs, long beards or Muslim clothing, they are now in your Police force, you Gov’ts, your municipalities and they are not even Muslim, just apologists and traitors.

        • StellaSaidSo says

          Jan 20, 2018 at 3:06 am

          How right you are, Wazza, the enemy is indeed within. Being whacked on the side of the head with a copy of the Koran is the closest some of them would ever get to becoming familiar with its contents.

    You know them by their heroes and who they teach their young to emulate. The death squad from allah
    has to replenish itself or allah might get thirsty (blood thirsty). Child killers like Dalal Mughrabi get youth centers and elementary schools named after them, so as to groom future killers. Samir Kuntar was likewise a “national” hero.

    btw the first person this “hero” personally murdered in cold blood was an American woman. The photographer Gail Rubin, taking nature pictures on the beach. So, they are celebrating that too (just as
    they celebrated the mass murder of Americans on 9/11).

    How can there be such promotion and glorification of TERRORISM when president-for-life Mahmoud Abbas assured Pres. Trump that he is teaching PEACE to the young people??

    Well, they are certainly teaching TERRORISM at the Palestinian university level with women’s committees named SISTERS OF DALAL (the top Palestinian terrorist).

    You would actually think the Pallies are teaching students to become terrorists.

    Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World
    ———————————————–

    by John Stossel

    https://townhall.com/columnists/johnstossel/2005/11/09/looking-for-comedy-in-the-muslim-world-n1246025

    Sony Pictures got upset about a “bad” word. They demanded it be taken out of the title of a movie. The word is “Muslim.”

    Give me a break. Do we have to be that sensitive? Or fearful?

    The movie is “Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World.”

    The writer and star of the movie, Albert Brooks, says he made the movie because he was concerned that, in the wake of 9/11, Americans hated even the word “Muslim.”

    When feminists and liberals here in the US talk about Palestinians living under apartheid and paint Isreal a the aggressor, they NEED to know they are believing ies and support savage terrorists.
    Liberal feminists have NO idea the evil they are supporting when they cry about women in hijabs and “Palestine” as if those things are good..OR DO THEY!?

      If this is war, the enemy propaganda is winning right now. Israel is fighting for it’s life against an implacable and vicious enemy that knows no limits. It always has been. Remind your friends about islam. It accepts nothing less than submission by definition.

    They should promote Ibrahim Itace as their new mascot role model hero guy.

    He seems like the perfect representative of islam.

    • StellaSaidSo says

      Jan 19, 2018 at 10:18 pm

      Yes, this odious specimen is indeed representative of the pickle-brained followers of Islam – spectacularly stupid, and unashamedly violent. These two characteristics are in fact correlated. The average IQ in the Islamic world is about 20 points lower than the Western average, and coincides with highest probability of criminal behaviour.

      It is a sobering thought that here are – literally – millions of Ibrahim Itace Muhammads out there.

  9. hammar says

    Jan 21, 2018 at 7:17 pm

    islam is satanic and nothing more. Nothing good could ever come from it. mohammed was no prophet. He was a pillager, killer, child molester and thief. All islamic countries are in shambles and no law supports these misfits.
    Thank God the President acknowledge Jerusalem as Israel’s capitol. It has been long overdue. God Bless the President.
