PA Shari’ah Judge: The “spirit of our people” is “death to enrage enemies”

PA Shari'ah Judge Abdallah Harb: "The Poet and Martyr Abd Al-Rahim Mahmoud composed the great words expressing [the people]: 'I shall carry my soul in my palm and toss it into the abyss of destruction, and then either a life that will gladden friends, or a death that will enrage the enemies. The noble soul has two purposes: achieving death and achieving aspirations.' Does this not express [the spirit of] our people?"
