Palestinian Media Watch again provides proof of what the Palestinian “resistance” is really about: it is a jihad to annihilate Israel “from the River to the Sea.” It has nothing to do with human rights or justice. This is abundantly documented.
The Palestinians’ persistent propaganda campaign covers up this truth, as it is accepted by most of the mainstream media and sold to the entire world.
“Terrorists confirm they are soldiers of the PA,” by Itamar Marcus, Palestinian Media Watch, February 1, 2023:
Released terrorist to PA Chairman Abbas: “We’ll remain your loyal soldiers”
Father of terrorist: “We were surprised that he was a fighter and that he was one of the soldiers ending the occupation…all our prisoners, and they are considered soldiers… they are actually soldiers”
Released Israeli Arab terrorist murderer: “The duty of all the officials [is] to work for [the prisoners’] freedom. These are their prisoners. These are their soldiers. They did what they did on orders from them.”
The Palestinian Authority and its leaders openly admit that all the imprisoned Palestinian terrorists are their soldiers who they sent to fight and even kill Israelis. The terrorists are defined in PA law as the “fighting sector … of the Palestinian society.” Since the terrorists are “soldiers,” the PA also demands – without any legal basis– that the terrorists be treated as “prisoners of war.” Palestinian Media Watch has shown that the PA justifies its Pay-for-Slay terror reward policy by explaining that, “it is impossible to send a soldier to war and then not take care of his family” [Deputy Prime Minister Nabil Abu Rudeina -see below]. The question is, do the terrorists themselves, even members of Hamas and Islamic Jihad, agree that they are all soldiers of the PA?The terrorists and their families see themselves as “soldiers” of the PA
Released terrorist Hussein Suleiman Al-Zre’I, member of Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) – an internationally designated terror organization – spoke with PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas in a televised phone conversation. Three times during the conversation Al-Zre’i stressed to Abbas that the imprisoned terrorists see themselves as “your loyal soldiers.” Al-Zre’i, who served 19 years in prison for carrying out shooting and mortar attacks further emphasized that as Abbas’ and Fatah’s “soldiers” they “will continue on this path – meaning the path of terror. Mahmoud Abbas’ response was to praise the terrorist for doing his part: “It is a great and important part”:
Released prisoner Hussein Suleiman Al-Zre’i: “May Allah bless you, Your Honor the President. You are the symbol of the existing leadership, and we’ll remain your loyal soldiers. We are aware of the positions you have held on the prisoners’ cause, and on the cause of the salaries of the Martyrs and prisoners… Allah willing, our aspirations of establishing the Palestinian state whose capital is Jerusalem will be realized under your leadership, and we will remain soldiers loyal to you, your leadership, and all the members of the [Fatah] Central Committee. Our struggle is part of the Palestinian people’s struggle and part of the struggle of our [prisoners’] movement, which is fighting and attempting to reach a state through its struggle, and we will continue on this path. This is what Fatah has accustomed us to… [My] struggle, 19 years [in prison], is a tiny part of the deep and great struggle that you have led…”
Mahmoud Abbas: “May Allah bless you. It is not a tiny part, it is a great and important part, and it is a brick in building the great palace that will come about without a doubt: the independent Palestinian state. There is no doubt we’ll get rid of them and their occupation, and no doubt our flag [will fly above] Jerusalem…”
Hussein Suleiman Al-Zre’i: “We will triumph and Fatah will triumph… We support you and will remain your loyal soldiers until the end.”

The families of the terrorists also see their children as soldiers of the PA. This was made clear by Munir Zgheir, the father of terrorist Ashraf Zgheir, who stressed that both his terrorist son and all the other imprisoned terrorists are “soldiers”:

All those jihadists of the PA who in their Islamic quest to destroy the State of Israel and replace her with an “Islamic Palestinian state” are deluded in that Muslim goal because they are wasting their efforts and time in a lost cause.
In other words , they are fated to totally fated to fail in their Islamic quest to destroy Israel.
The reason why this is so is because they are all greatly overruled God and He will not let Israel be destroyed , therefore the jihadists are fated to fail in their jihad against Israel.
As the Bible in Psalm 135:4 reads “For the Lord has chosen Jacob for Himself, Israel for His special treasure.” [N.K.J.V.]
The Bible informs its readers that the Jews have the right to all the land that now makes up the State of Israel ,including the West Bank by Divine Right. As found in Genesis 28:13-15. 35:10-12. Deuteronomy 32:48,49. Psalm 105: 7-11. 135: 4.
Furthermore, the Jews should have all this land by historic rights. As seen in First Kings 4; 20,21,24,25. 8:55, 56.
Walter Sieruk says
As in the days of Nehemiah when he and his men were busy in the reconstruction of the walls around Jerusalem and the Arab became furious and indigent at this at this grand project of the rebuilding of the walls. Neh 4:1 and they thus despised the Jews , Neh. 4:4 ,and schemed terrorist attacks against them.
So the Jewish men set up watch for such attacks, Neh 4:8, therefore ,on this watch they set up guards to be ready for those terrorists attacks , Neh 4;16.
Likewise, in this twenty –first century about the seventy fourth anniversary of the rebirth of the nation of Israel that all the future Islamic terrorists attack against the State of Israel.
The Israel security force and military Israeli police as well the citizens of the modern State of Israel need to keep aware vigilant and on guard against attacks, just an in the day of Nehemiah in ancient Israel.
Keith O says
This admission by the PA that these terrorists are “their soldiers” is actually a good thing.
Whether these terrorists realise it or not.
Under international law, ANY “soldier” who deliberately targets and ills civilians are guilty of committing war crimes as are ANY commander or leader who encourages such atrocities.
Said atrocities can be, but are not limited to, deliberately targeting civilians, storing munitions in hospitals or schools, using non combatants as human shields, etc.
Any of this sound vaguely familiar?
I’m surprised that the Israeli’s haven’t made complaints to the Hague and taken action this way. This would result in Hamas and Abbas both being labelled as war criminals for crimes against humanity.

Now that they admit it are they a legitimate target? if not they should be.
