Speaking on occasion of national Palestinian Women’s Day last week, PA Minister of Women’s Affairs Amal Hamad highlighted “female Martyrs” and a mass murderer as proof that there is gender equality in Palestinian society.

Going back to the Arab Riots of 1929, the female minister first highlighted the fact that “the women were partners in the battle of resolve and defiance, and nine female Martyrs died.” Then Minister Hamad singled out mass murderer Dalal Mughrabi who led the killing of 37 Israeli civilians, among them 12 children, in 1978. As a third example, the minister mentioned the fact that “there are also female prisoners in the occupation’s prisons.” These examples served the minister as proof of gender equality in Palestinian society and that men and women are “going hand in hand”:

PA Minister of Women’s Affairs Amal Hamad: “The first women’s committee was on Oct. 26, 1929, in the shadow of the Al-Buraq Rebellion. The mighty rebellion (i.e., Hebron Massacre, 1929) in which great Martyrs died… The mighty rebellion in which the women were partners in the battle of resolve and defiance, and nine female Martyrs died… We don’t think that there is a difference [between the genders] in Palestinian society. Especially in the battle of the national struggle we emphasize going hand in hand. The proof of this is what I said… There were nine female Martyrs. We speak about Dalal Mughrabi and the Martyrs of the [Fatah] Central Committee. There is a long list and there are also female prisoners in the occupation’s prisons. Therefore, we are going hand in hand [with the men].”

Hamad also stressed Palestinian women’s “participation in defending the land with all forms and means” – a term used by PA leaders to include using all types of violence, including deadly terror ‎against Israeli civilians such as stabbings and shootings, as well as throwing rocks and Molotov Cocktails.:

Minister Hamad: “The celebrations of this national day will take place this year on the land of the village of Beita, and to be precise Jabal Sbeih (i.e., mountain in the West Bank where the Jewish outpost of Evyatar is located), in order to emphasize the popular resistance and the women’s participation in defending the land with all forms and means…”

The minister’s focus on terrorists and women’s equality in”the national struggle” is not surprising. Palestinian Media Watch has documented that terrorist murderer Dalal Mughrabi by the PA has been turned into one of the most revered role models for women.

Similar to the minister’s emphasis, other prominent women of the PA focused on Palestinian women’s equal status within the context of “the struggle.” Among the roles Palestinian women have taken upon themselves and excelled in, PA Governor Laila Ghannam chose to stress their activities as terrorists attacking Israel: “self-sacrificing fighters, fighters, expelled, wounded, prisoners, and Martyrs”:

Ghannam: “The Palestinian women… have always been the spearhead alongside the men in defending our national rights: liberation and the right to self-determination. Therefore, the women have engraved the significance of this day with blood in defense of the Palestinian right… They have been self-sacrificing fighters, fighters, expelled, wounded, prisoners, and Martyrs.”

It is intriguing – and worrisome – that both women above, who themselves have climbed to the top of the PA career ladder, becoming governors and ministers, chose to highlight Palestinian women’s equal status as terrorists, and hardly mentioned any female achievements in any other field – not as lawyers, performers, engineers, artists, educators, or any other worthy professions….
