This
week, Palestinian Authority and Fatah officials made yet another show of support for
terrorists and murderers by celebrating the release from prison of a
terrorist who participated in the murder of 16-year-old Israeli Ofir Rahum in
2001.
The
release of terrorist Abd
Al-Fattah Doleh, who finished serving his 12-year prison sentence, was viewed as
cause for celebration by many officials, including District Governor of Ramallah
and El-Bireh Laila Ghannam, Beitunia Mayor Ribhi Dawla, Fatah Central Committee
member Sultan Abu Al-Einein, and Director of the PLO Commission of Prisoners'
Affairs Issa Karake.

On
Jan.
17, 2001, terrorist
Abd
Al-Fattah Doleh, a member of the Tanzim, Fatah's terror
faction, participated in
the kidnapping and murder of 16-year-old Israeli Ofir Rahum. Female terrorist
Amna Muna met Rahum in an Internet chat room and engaged him in an online
romance that culminated in his agreeing to meet her. She drove him to Ramallah,
where they were met by Doleh and another accomplice, Hassan Alkadi, who shot
Rahum to death.
Terrorist
Doleh was released from prison last Thursday. The Beitunia
municipality and Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah Movement held a "national rally" in his
honor. PA official and Mayor of Beitunia Ribhi Dawla "emphasized that the
prisoners are the symbol of liberation and getting rid of the occupation." He
also expressed the PA's support for terrorists who murder and injure Israelis,
and who are killed in the process - the so-called "Martyrs" - stating that "the
city of Beitunia, the city of Martyrs and prisoners, will remain loyal to the
path of the Martyrs." [Ma'an (independent

The following
is the report on the mass rally held in honor of Doleh, one of the accomplices
to the murder of 16-year-old Ofir Rahum
Headline:
"Beitunia welcomed released [prisoner Abd Al-Fattah] Doleh after 12 years in
jail"
"Figures
from the city of Beitunia, from the [Ramallah] district, and from the Fatah
Movement welcomed released [prisoner] Abd Al-Fattah Doleh, who served 12 years
in the occupation's (i.e., Israel's) prisons, after having been expelled for
four years. First everyone faced the grave of Martyr (Shahid) Yasser
Arafat, where the released prisoner placed a wreath of flowers on the grave in
the presence of District
Governor of Ramallah and El-Bireh Laila Ghannam, Beitunia Mayor Ribhi Dawla, and
a group of official figures, public figures, and members of the Fatah branch in
the district...
The
Beitunia municipality and Fatah held a mass rally, which was attended by [Fatah]
Central Committee member Sultan Abu Al-Einein, Prisoners' Club Chairman Qadura
Fares, Director of PLO Commission of Prisoners' Affairs Issa Karake, and a large
gathering of Beitunia residents and friends of the prisoner from a number of
districts. The released prisoner emphasized that the prisoners represent the
loyalty to the Palestinian cause and its foundational principles, and noted that
public unification around them and around their families is important for their
release and emptying the prisons...
Doleh
thanked all those who welcomed him at this national rally, and emphasized the
continuation of the path of struggle until achieving all of our rights and basic
principles, and primarily the establishment of our independent state with full
sovereignty and its capital of Jerusalem.
Beitunia
Mayor Ribhi Dawla emphasized that the prisoners are the symbol of liberation and
getting rid of the occupation, and noted that the city of Beitunia, the city of
Martyrs and prisoners, will remain loyal to the path of the Martyrs. Likewise,
he emphasized that the freedom of all the prisoners is our compass and Jerusalem
is our eternal capital, and he blessed all the prisoners and the relatives of
prisoner Abd Al-Fattah [Doleh] on his release after serving 12 years in the
occupation's prisons."
