- 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.”
“Remember what Amalek did to you on the way as you were coming out of Egypt, 18 how he met you on the way and attacked your rear ranks, all the stragglers at your rear, when you were tired and weary; and he did not fear God.” Deut. 25:17-18
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].

Mahmoud Abbas’ response was to praise the terrorist for doing his part: “It is a great and important part”:
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…”
