As for the million martyrs bit, we went over this before. It does not necessarily mean "suicide bombers". I told you about how "martyr" means anyone who has died in war, even soldiers who die in military service in peacetime, and you did not believe me.

Yeah, yeah, in the dictionary. But when the Chairman of the PA, who pays the Tanzim and the Al Aqsa Brigade, says in the midst of a suicide-bombing campaign in which forces on his payroll are taking a leading role, that provides a different context.
