The Palestinian “resistance” is founded upon the Islamic doctrine of jihad and its goal of a one-state solution, that is, a Palestinian state, and the complete destruction of Israel. That goal was yet again reflected in the official Palestinian daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, where the murderer of an infant was praised for waging “holy war for the sake of Allah.” The daily added that “the end of every Jihad fighter is Martyrdom-death.” The “heroic martyr” Marwan Kayed Zalum, a “terrorist who was involved in the murder of at least 9 Israelis, including a 9-month-old baby,” was hailed for his “strength, courage and lofty morals,” as well as for being “at the front of the struggle against the Zionist enemy.” Zalum was a bloodthirsty jihadist who “was responsible for several terror attacks in the Hebron region, including sending the terrorist who in a shooting attack murdered the infant Shalhevet Pass in her stroller on March 26, 2001.”
No matter what evidence appears of the Palestinian Authority’s true intentions toward the state of Israel, the willfully blind continue to believe that Palestinians are victimized by Israelis, even as Palestinian civilians are being used as human shields by jihadist thugs.
Hamas, meanwhile broadcast in a TV series that it was acceptable to kill Israeli citizens because they are all criminals, thus justifying their own jihad against Jewish civilians. This is the “struggle” that the UN and others of like mind are supporting against the “Zionist enemy.”
“What is the PA definition of ‘a holy war for the sake of Allah’?,” by Itamar Marcus, Palestinian Media Watch, January 6, 2021:
The official PA daily has devoted a lot of space recently to celebrate the 56th anniversary of its first terror attack, which it calls the launch of the Fatah Movement. Among the articles it chose to publish, was an op-ed that went out of its way to praise, glorify, and honor a terrorist who was involved in the murder of at least 9 Israelis, including a 9-month-old baby.
Terrorist Marwan Zalum was responsible for a number of terror attacks, including sending the terrorist who shot and murdered an infant in 2001. Zalum also organized the planting of a bomb which murdered one, and initiated a shooting attack in which an additional person was murdered. Zalum also provided the bomb used in a suicide attack in 2002, in which 6 people were murdered and 80 wounded. Zalum was killed by the Israeli army in 2002.
The recent article in the official PA daily described Zalum’s “career” as head of Fatah’s designated terror organization, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, honoring him for being “responsible for many shooting operations” and “self-sacrificing operations” – the PA’s euphemisms for terror attacks and suicide bombings. The writer even singled out one such suicide bombing as “the most prominent.” The article referred to the PA’s terror campaign from 2000-2005 in which more than 1,100 Israelis were murdered, “the blessed Al-Aqsa Intifada”:
The following is a longer excerpt of the op-ed:
“Martyr fighter Marwan Kayed Mutlaq Abd Al-Karim Zalum ‘Abu Saja’ (i.e., terrorist, involved in murder of at least 9) was born in Hebron in 1960 to one of the famous Hebron families…
He left for Jordan, and from there for Lebanon where he joined the Fatah Movement and was one of its fighters…
He returned to the homeland mere months before the outbreak of the blessed Al-Aqsa Intifada (i.e., PA terror campaign 2000-2005, more than 1,100 Israelis murdered), and received an appointment in the Palestinian [PA] Security Forces like his comrades who preceded him.After the outbreak of the blessed intifada, Marwan Zalum established military squads in Hebron (the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades) [parentheses in source] (i.e., Fatah’s terror wing), and he was the commander of these brigades. Marwan Zalum was responsible for many shooting operations on outposts and self-sacrificing operations that were carried out by the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, the most prominent of which was the operation of female Martyrdom-seeker Andalib Takatka (i.e., suicide bomber, murdered 6 and wounded over 80).
Marwan Zalum ‘Abu Saja’ became wanted by the Israeli occupation forces… and on the night of April 22, 2002, at around 11:40 p.m., an Israeli Apache helicopter fired three missiles at a civilian vehicle in the heart of Hebron… in which Martyr Marwan Zalum and his comrade Samir Tamimi ‘Abu Rajab’ were riding…
The missiles struck the vehicle directly, and tore the two Martyrs’ bodies into hundreds of pieces…
Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades commander in Hebron Marwan Zalum and Samir Tamimi, one of the commanders of the [PA Presidential Security] Force 17 in the city, died as Martyrs in the cowardly assassination operation…
A number of attempts to assassinate him or arrest him failed in the past, but this time the traitors placed him in the trap of the Israeli helicopters, which killed him mercilessly with missiles. After the assassination, the Martyrs’ comrades took revenge on these collaborators. Three people who were said to be collaborators were arrested, and afterwards they killed them and tossed their bodies at the site where the vehicle was bombed.
Heroic Martyr Marwan Kayed Zalum ‘Abu Saja’ is a fighter who fought a holy war for the sake of Allah under the auspices of Fatah…
Heroic Martyr Marwan Kayed Zalum was endowed with courage and strength. He was firm in his positions, …had lofty morals, and was a prominent commander with a strong personality – an example of courage and heroism who sacrificed everything. He knew the end of every Jihad fighter is Martyrdom-death, which he wished for throughout the long struggle… for the sake of the people and the cause…
Marwan Zalum, you placed Palestine before your eyes, you carried your soul in your palm, and you merited Martyrdom. Despite your passing, you live in the hearts of those who love you…
He was always at the front of the struggle against the Zionist enemy.”[Official PA daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, Dec. 29, 2020]…

We killed three of our own “collaborators” as revenge for the killing of our beloved murdering terrorist. So take that!, Israel. And we killed 1100 Israelis in our first intifada so why are we now behind a border wall?
The PA, Fatah, Hamas, and offshoots must represent the lowest intelligence available in the region. And for foreign politicians who support them, draw your own conclusions.

Islam and it’s followers embrace evil and the cure is Old Testament Biblical.
mortimer says
Reply to VOWG: ‘Evil’ for a Muslim is not doing what Allah decrees. Muslim firmly BELIEVE that Allah wants them to murder and terrorize kafirs … that is the Islamic definition of ‘good’. It’s Allah’s eternal decree in his 164 jihad verses.
They believe in the Koran, but when they see the Koran is man-made, Muslims leave Islam immediately.

Reply to mortimer,
Every person is born with a conscience, as part of the way they were created by God. That means that even people born to moslims…and are considered by those moslims to be moslim at birth…have a conscience.
Having a conscience means they can see that evil is evil. They may be brainwashed by their parents, imams, clerics and other evil fools for satan to “believe” that filthy garbage, but their conscience would still tell them it was evil….until they have “burned it as with a branding iron.”
Now, if they **need** to find out that the filthy book is “manmade” and not from God in order to leave, they have a serious problem.
If their conscience is so burned and scarred that they see murdering babies as *ok* or even a good thing, then “finding out” won’t make a hill-of-beans difference.
It’s a person’s conscience that will cause them to leave the evil filth of islam. Just as it is a person’s conscience that causes them to reject the wrongs of their parents if their parents are into crime and/or immorality of the non-moslim sort.
mortimer says
The violence-directed moral compass of Islam is guided by the opportunistic ethics stated in the Koran. It is moral for Muslims to murder kafirs if that helps Islam to gain ascendancy by ‘terrorizing the kafirs’ (Koran 8.60).
Terrorism is thus in the Koran and normative Islam, rather than an aberration. The Pallies know that and many Muslim apologists desperately try to hide the fact.

Allah must be so pleased that a nine month old was slaughtered for him. I can tell you what a “nine month old” is capable of remembering. Years after this event happened, I asked my dad about it: being on a blanket in the yard in the sun, all of a sudden I was aware something horrible and “life changing” had happened. The whole atmosphere changed in an instant. I, and my blanket, were picked up, and hurried into the house. The radio was on, someone was speaking. When I asked, years later, what this was about, I was told, “it was December 7th. 1941.”

At first glance, the headline is a little confusing.
And this is the same “news” paper that had the article written by the so-called “Christian” about selling land to Jews being a “betrayal of Jesus,” is it not?
Such evil as praising murderers, murderers of multiple people, including little babies, comes straight from satan the devil. These filthy scum may be getting “praise” from their fellow moslims in filth, but “they are having their reward in full.”
They have given their lives over to satan to do his will, according to his “desire” and they won’t receive anything other than what they had.
The victims have an opportunity in “a resurrection of the righteous and the unrighteous” at a time of God’s choosing. An opportunity not shared by those evil scum and those evil scum who praise them for their evil scummery.
