Abbas’ Fatah honors murderer of 37 at Palestinian Authority university
Palestinian Authority educational messages elevate murderers to heroes:
Fatah's Youth Movement distributed notebooks with a cover featuring murderer Dalal Mughrabi, who led the murder of 37 Israelis, including 12 children
Young students read books about imprisoned terrorist Barghouti who was responsible for the murder of 5 people
Display at Arafat exhibition promotes arch-terrorist Abu Jihad who was responsible for the murder of 125 people, terrorist Mughrabi, Fatah terror leader Abu Ali Iyad, and head of the Black September terror organization Salah Khalaf
As part of its "national and moral responsibility towards its student members," the student movement of Palestinian Authority Chairman Abbas' Fatah party distributed free notebooks to students at the Palestine Technical University – Kadoorie at the beginning of the academic year. Seemingly, a praiseworthy act.
But whom did they choose to adorn the cover of the notebook? Was it a Palestinian businesswoman, scientist, or artist?
No.
Terrorist murderer Dalal Mughrabi was the role model chosen to inspire students on the cover by the Fatah Shabiba Student Movement and the Student Union Council at the university.
Palestinian Media Watch has documented that Dalal Mughrabi – who led the attack that, until Oct. 7, 2023, was the most lethal terror attack in Israel's history – has been turned into a role model for Palestinians by the PA. In the 1978 attack, known as the Coastal Road massacre, Mughrabi and other Fatah terrorists hijacked a bus on Israel's Coastal Highway, murdering 37 civilians, 12 of them children, and wounding over 70.
Murderer Mughrabi's picture is also included in a display of drawings of various prominent Palestinian figures at a current exhibition at the Yasser Arafat Museum in Ramallah:
In the front row of figures on the left wearing a keffiyeh (Arab headdress) is terrorist Dalal Mughrabi. Directly above Mughrabi is Fatah terror leader Abu Ali Iyad, above him is terrorist Khalil Al-Wazir "Abu Jihad," who was responsible for the murder of 125 people. To the left of "Abu Jihad" is Yasser Arafat, and to the left of Arafat is head of the Black September terror organization Salah Khalaf "Abu Iyad."

Young Palestinian children are also fed a diet of violence and terror promotion. At the National Book Fair organized by the PA Ministry of Culture at the Arab American University in Jenin, young schoolgirls read books written by terrorist prisoners at a booth in which the PLO Commission of Prisoners' Affairs "presented the literary and intellectual works" of terrorists and released terrorists. One book cover in the center of the table pictured below features a picture of terrorist Marwan Barghouti, who orchestrated three attacks in which 5 people were murdered:

The presentation of terrorists as important cultural and "intellectual" figures at schools, universities, museums, and book fairs follows PA policy of celebrating imprisoned and released terrorists who have written books in prison as esteemed writers. Official PA TV glorified released terrorist Osama Al-Ashqar, who was responsible for the murder of 8 people, at an event in Cairo [Official PA TV, Palestine This Morning, Sept. 10, 2025]. Meanwhile, Fatah Movement Deputy Chairman Mahmoud Al-Aloul attended and signed books at the launch ceremony of a book written by released terrorist Raed Abd Al-Jalil, who was involved in the murder of 5 people:

Al-Aloul also stressed another PA ideology – non-recognition of Israel in any borders – presenting the terrorist murderer's family with an honorary plaque that features the PA map of "Palestine" that presents all of Israel together with the PA areas as "Palestine."

The following is from an event in Cairo in honor of the books written by released terrorist prisoner Osama Al-Ashqar, who was responsible for the murder of 8 people:
Official PA TV reporter in Cairo: "We bring you the experiences of a Palestinian prisoner released from the occupation's (i.e., Israel's) prisons who was transferred to Egypt, Osama Al-Ashqar. He carries the message of the Palestinian prisoners, the national aspiration, and the Palestinian cause on his shoulders, and this has been translated into two books about which he speaks in an activity that includes many meanings from the homeland and the cause."
Released terrorist prisoner Osama Al-Ashqar: "Freedom is made complete through the presence of the people here. Allah willing, freedom will be made complete through the liberation of Palestine and the release of the rest of the prisoners."
A large poster at the event features a picture of terrorist prisoner Marwan Barghouti, who orchestrated three attacks in which 5 people were murdered.
Text on poster: "Freedom for the brave Palestinian prisoners. From Palestine to Egypt, the distance is zero. Prisoner Osama Al-Ashqar"

In his speech during the ceremony, released prisoner Raed Abd Al-Jalil noted that his book is a message of hope and determination that emerged from the [prison] cell in order to emphasize that prison does not limit thought or extinguish the dream, and that love and a rifle are two sides of one homeland seeking freedom and independence.
At the end of the ceremony, an honorary plaque was awarded by the Fatah Nablus Branch to prisoner [Abd Al-Jalil's] family for his efforts and contribution to enriching the field of literature and culture."
Fatah Deputy Chairman Mahmoud Al-Aloul signed the book "Love and a Rifle" by released terrorist prisoner Raed Abd Al-Jalil. The book is about released terrorist prisoner Rami Nour, who murdered 1 person.
