Fatah

Fatah (Arabic فتح) is a Palestinian nationalist organization.^[1] The name itself is a reverse acronym of Harakat al-Tahrir al-Watani al-Filastini. The organization's founder and leader until his death was Yasir Arafat.^[2] It is currently headed by Farouk Kaddoumi, the secretary-general of the Fatah central committee. Politically, Fatah falls left-of-center, bordering on socialism. Fatah is a full member of Socialist International.^[3] Mahmoud Abbas, a member of Fatah, is currently the president of the Palestinian National Authority.^[4]

The official goal of Fatah is the "complete liberation of Palestine, and eradication of Zionist economic, political, military and cultural existence".^[5] Its president Mahmoud Abbas stated that “there is no difference between our policies and those of Hamas.”^[6]

It has also an armed wing Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades.

In 2016, Abu Mazen Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah claimed to have 'Killed 11,000 Israelis'. In a bid to whip up support.^[7]

In 2021, Fatah leader in Jenin Ata Abu Rumeileh: 'The battle will only be over when the "occupation" is removed from all of Palestine, from the Jordan river to the Mediterranean sea.'^[8]

Ashbal - Lion Cubs[edit]

Since 1969, active in the 1970s-1980s, the youth movement of Fatah was child soldiers of Palestinian Lion Cubs.^[9] Learned to hate Israel and develop a lust for killing by tearing a live chicken apart.^[10]

Asifa[edit]

Al 'Asifa (al Asifah, Asifa) mainstream armed wing of Fatah militant organization, its (Mohammed Said Musa Maragha: under his nom de guerre:) Abu Musa in Lebanon was among leading the 1976 Damour massacre^[11] spiraling that country into an all out bloodshed.^[12] Seven years later, Abu Musa gained notoriety as one of the leaders of a bloody mutiny against Arafat's leadership, ^[13] as Arafat became from an ally to an 'enemy' and Abu Musa had opposed any peace negotiations with Israel. He said in 1989 that Arafat should stand trial for "treason," for recognizing Israel and for abandoning the principles of the Palestinian revolution.^[14]

In 1983, Abu Musa with Abu Saleh founded the Fatah-Intifada. In the wake of the PLO collapse after the 1982 war with Israel, these Fatah officers, with Syrian backing, tried to wrest control of Fatah from Arafat.^[15]

Hatred[edit]

Author, historian:^[16]

Mein Kampf was required reading in some Fatah training camps; Nazis were recruited for Fatah and for the PLO, including Erich Altern, a key figure in the Jewish affairs section of the Gestapo, and Willy Berner, an SS officer in Mauthausen death camp. Among the neo-Nazis on the PLO payroll were the German Otto Albrecht and two Belgians, Karl van der Put and the secretary of the fascist La Nation Européene, Jean Tireault.

In April, 2015, Fatah youth performed Nazi salute at Fatah ceremony.^[17]

In 2019, the J is a bloodthirsty vampire eating a child, on Fatah - Lebanon website.^[18]

The Arab^[19] "Palestinian" terrorist Diaa Hamarsheh from the village of Ya’abad, near Jenin, was a Fatah affiliate,^[20] who, while shouting in Arabic, carried out the massacre on March 29, 2022, targeting the Bnei Brack town of pious Haredi, overwlmingly avoiding IDF draft - conscientious objectors, (in addition, they avoid visiting the Temple Mount), thus exposing pure hatred. It was celebrated by official Fatah^[21] and by masses in Jenin,^[22][23][21] as well as in Gaza, they celebrated.^[24][25] (Hours before the racist Arab attack, Haaretz published another venomous piece against this group of people.^[26][27]) The murderer killed 5,^[28] 2 Haredi Jews^[29] the policeman,^[30][29] and 2 Ukrainian immigrants.^[31]

Shortly before the massacre, was seen a combined drawing of "Palestine" PLO flag, a mosque and a swastika, some 800 meters of a distance from the scene of the massacre.^[32]

The terrorist / murderer had a comfortable life in a luxurious home, which, like other examples, belie the claims of those who blame Palestinians’ violence and attacks against Israelis on low socioeconomic conditions.^[33] The father of the murderer, Ahmed Hamarsheh, was arrested in Feb 2023, for his glorifying of his son's despicable act, inciting for more crimes.^[34][35]

Nazih Khatatba[edit]

Nazih Khatatba had previously advised al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, the military wing of the Fatah movement.^[36] This "Palestinian" community leader, in May 2016 uttered: "Canadian society should not believe the fairy tales [claiming] that the Jews suffered oppression;"^[37][38] had published "theories" by a Hamas antisemite in 2020; ^[39] and had glorified the 29/03/22 terrorist attacker, "Palestinian" murderer as a supposed "martyr," in a piece he wrote "Ramadan comes early in Palestine this year."^[40]

Glorification[edit]

Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood's Arab activist's role model is Dalal Mughrabi - terrorist murderer at most lethal terror attack in Israel’s history, known as the Coastal Road massacre, in 1978. She and other Fatah terrorists hijacked a bus on Israel's Coastal Highway and murdered 37 of the civilian passengers, 12 of them children, while wounding over 70. The Fatah issued her --in June-6-2021-- a congratulatory message: "May you live as a rebel defending our Jerusalem, like your role model Dalal Mughrabi."^[41]

As an Arab Muslim in Israel, Muhammad Alab Ahmed abu Alkiyan, ISIS, on Mar 22, 2022, went on a massacre spree, combined attack, vehicle-ramming and stabbing, murdering 4 ^[42][43] because they were Jews, Fatah official Jamal Al-Huwail praised the murderer as a “Lone Lion."^[44]

• On Apr 7, 2022, an Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, ^[45] Islamic "Palestinian" terrorist targeted a bar in Tel Aviv, first murdering two,^[46] injuring others,^[47] a third victim succumbed to injuries later on.^[48] It was widely condemned, Abu Mazen played it both, condemning and added in "context" his propaganda,^[49] in fact, he rather incited about their Al-Aqsa.^[50] Other elements in Fatah celebrated it.^[51]

Attacker was caught hiding near Jaffa mosque. Apparently he prayed at the mosque (on their Ramadan), went out for his bloody murder and returned to the mosque.^[52]

The father of the terrorist who carried out the attack is an officer with the rank of akid (roughly equivalent to a colonel) in the National Security Mechanism, one of the security mechanisms of the Palestinian Authority.^[53] This father, from the morning on, after the attack, went out and excites the crowd who came to congratulate him on his son's attack.^[54][55]

Terrorist's uncles were among the first Fatah fighters.^[56][57] Thousands of Arab "Palestinians" joined march in support of him. Public address systems, via mosques, called out, "Allahu akhbar," playing "nationalist" songs, and announcing support for the terrorist and the "heroic action" which he carried out in "Tel Al-Rabia," the Arab name for Tel Aviv, the Jewish city founded in 1909 on bare stretches of sand dunes near Jaffa.^[58]

Finally, the military wing of the Fatah movement, led by Abu Mazen, claimed responsibility for the attack.^[59]

The British The Guardian's (unsurprising) headline "Israeli forces kill (sic) Palestinian": caused a stir, only then it was removed.^[60]

Intimidating the US[edit]

In Oct, 2021, Fatah official stated: ‘China will lead the world, and is on our side’, and warned the US to better get on board with its side.^[61]

Going on record[edit]

In Sep/2022, Fatah announced return to terror, openly.^[62]

In Sep/2022, Fatah boasted: Arafat deliberately started the intifada terror campaign - testimony by Arafat’s advisor who was there.^[63]

    Kafr Qassem Massacre – With the outbreak of the Israel–Egypt war in Sinai Israel on Oct. 29, 1956, Israel imposed a curfew on Arab villages for security reasons. Israeli border police were given orders to shoot anyone who broke the curfew, and 43 Israeli Arabs of the village of Kfar Qassem, including women and children, who were outside the village and unaware of the curfew were shot and killed. An Israeli military court determined that the soldiers had a duty to disobey the order as it was manifestly illegal. The families of those killed were compensated financially, the border policemen were prosecuted and sentenced to prison - but pardoned after one year, and the brigadier commander was given a symbolic fine. This massacre is condemned in Israel and is considered a seminal event in its history that is studied in the Israeli army at all levels. In addition it is taught in Israeli schools and efforts are being made to increase its study. Former Israeli President Shimon Peres formally apologized for the massacre in December 2007, and President Reuven Rivlin has condemned it, calling it a “terrible crime” that weighs heavily on Israel’s collective conscience.

    The March 29, 2022 shooting in the city of Bnei Brak in central Israel, which was perpetrated by Diaa Hamarsha (26), a Palestinian from the town of Ya'abad near Jenin in the West Bank, was met with celebrations and with expressions of praise in the Palestinian Authority, especially in the Jenin area. Although Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud 'Abbas condemned the attack, in which five Israelis were killed, other elements in the Fatah movement, which 'Abbas heads, condoned the attack and its perpetrator. When news of the attack and the identity of the attacker became known, celebrations broke out in the Jenin area and in particular in Ya'abad itself. Processions were held and locals handed out sweets, and a Fatah rally was held near the home of the shooter, who was apparently a member of this movement, at which statements and slogans praising the attack were heard. In addition, Fatah and its military branch, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, issued statements and posters glorifying the attack and the shooter. Fatah's local branch in Jenin province, for example, congratulated the "heroic martyr," and spokespeople for Fatah and its military wing promised that the intifada and the martyrdom operations would continue. This report reviews the expressions of praise for the attack and its perpetrator.

    After news of the Bnei Brak shooting broke and the identity of the attacker became known, locals in his town of Ya'abad and in the Jenin area took to the streets to celebrate. According to an Al-Quds reporter in Jenin, "large-scale processions were held in the city, in the refugee camp [adjacent to it] and in the town of Ya'abad to express pride in the martyr Diaa Hamarsha, who carried out the operation in Bnei Brak, near Tel Aviv." The reporter also noted that "sweets were handed out during the processions to celebrate the operation."

    Videos of the celebrations were posted on social media, including a video of a Fatah rally near the attacker's home, where the organization's secretary-general in Jenin, 'Atta Abu Ramila, praised the "hero" Hamarsha and participants chanted "with spirit and blood we shall redeem you, O Palestine." Other videos showed people marching and handing out sweets, and calling out slogans in praise of armed resistance, such as "millions of martyrs are marching to Jerusalem."...

    "I wonder what would have happened if, instead of the undercovers in a restaurant in Hadera, there were some yeshiva students who specialize in Torah studies. Would the event have ended with only two dead even then?" To his readers, some of them may even be potential terrorists since a few hours later, two of the sons of the city of Bnei Brak were killed in a brutal attack.

    There were those who blamed Shtrasler no less than responsibility for the attack in Bnei Brak and commented on the network: "It turns out that the terrorist who committed a murderous terror in Bnei Brak today reads the newspaper and the Haaretz website. Otherwise there is no explanation for his geographical choice in committing the heinous and despicable act. "Nehemiah Shtrasler, Hamas and Jihad thank you."

    Another surfer reacted bitterly after the horror that took place in Bnei Brak and wrote: "First publication: The Shtrasler battalions took responsibility for the attack in Bnei Brak."

    MK Moshe Abutbul responded on Twitter last night: "The people of Israel are in pain, a shocking attack, God, the blood of his slaves will be shed. Amen. "His constant from Abbas & Co. in the coalition. Hopefully, now that he has been killed by an ultra-Orthodox, journalist Nehemiah Stresler from the (Am) Haaretz newspaper has calmed down from the blood flowing like water."

    Even before the hard news from the scene of the murderous attack in Bnei Brak, Shtrasler's column provoked many reactions on the Internet.

    Media man Yinon Magal also responded and wrote: "The commander of the undercover officers who eliminated the terrorists said that they never eat in Hadera but stop in Ruppin, but that very evening one of them insisted on going to a certain restaurant in Hadera," "Dear Mr. Shtrasler, yeshiva students at least pray every day "To save the people of Israel. It is safer than what you did for the benefit of the event."

    Antisemitic incitement through mass media in 2016 was not limited to print varieties. In May, an Arabic-language program on Rogers TV, called AskMirna, aired an episode following the Palestinian community’s commemoration of "Nakba Day," on which Palestinians mourn the establishment of the modern State of Israel and call for its destruction. In the course of the episode, the host interviewed Nazih Khatatba, a Palestinian community leader, who told viewers that, "Canadian society should not believe the fairy tales [claiming] that the Jews suffered oppression"...

38. ↑ Aidan Fishman, Rogers TV Drops Arabic-Language Show Following Complaint of Antisemitism, B'nai Brith Canada, 2017-01-26.

    Rogers TV, which runs community programming throughout Canada, has pulled the plug on an Arabic-language show called AskMirna after B’nai Brith Canada drew its attention to antisemitic messages promoted in the program. AskMirna which describes itself as "presenting an accurate, positive, inspiring and entertaining image of the Arab-Canadian community," dedicated an entire episode to "Nakba Day," in which Palestinians annually mourn the establishment of the State of Israel and call for its destruction. This included an interview with Nazih Khatatba, who described Jewish suffering as "fairy tales" [sic] and engaged in Holocaust denial.

    Khatatba, a leader of Palestine House in Mississauga, Ont. has a history of inciting violence against Jews. In December, 2014, he [6] lauded the terrorists behind the Har Nof synagogue massacre in Jerusalem that left six dead in his al-Meshwar newspaper. The incident was later investigated by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS).

    In other episodes of AskMirna, Palestinian-Canadian children are shown dancing to songs that praise terrorism against Israel, which is labelled "the (sic) rapist entity." "Antisemitic propaganda delivered through music and television is rampant in the Middle East, and constitutes a significant barrier to peace between Israel and the Palestinians," said Michael Mostyn, Chief Executive Officer of B’nai Brith Canada. "We cannot allow such hatred to be imported into this country, potentially radicalizing Canadian youth."

    The Palestinian Authority leader warned against Israeli settlers using the incident as an excuse to carry out attacks against Palestinians.

    Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on Friday condemned the terrorist attack on Tel Aviv's Dizengoff Street that saw two Israelis killed.

    The killing of Palestinian and Israeli civilians only leads to further deterioration, Abbas said, urging a return to stability amid Ramadan and the upcoming Passover and Easter holidays, according to the Palestinian news agency WAFA.

    However, Abbas further warned against Israeli settlers ...

    The PA president is one of many prominent international figures to react to the attack.

    According to Army Radio, The Turkish Embassy in Israel said: "We condemn the terrorist attack in Tel Aviv and are concerned about the increase in the number of [violent] events in recent times.  We send our condolences to the people of Israel." 

    German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock condemned the Thursday evening attack, labeling the perpetrators "cowards."

    "In yet another heinous terrorist attack in Israel, cowards attacked normal Tel Aviv citizens enjoying the evening before Shabbat," Baerbock tweeted. "We mourn those killed and grieve with their families. Our thoughts are with the injured and with the emergency responders who are caring for them."

    "My solidarity is with the people of Israel, who have every right to live their lives free from terror and fear," tweeted German Ambassador to Israel Susanne Wasum-Rainer. "We stand by your side."

    US Secretary of State Antony Blinken released a statement on Thursday following the terror attack in Tel Aviv. "Americans are, once again, grieving with the Israeli people in the wake of another deadly terrorist attack, which took the lives of two innocent victims and wounded many more in Tel Aviv," he said.

    "Our hearts go out to the families and other loved ones of those killed, and we wish a speedy recovery to the injured," the statement reads. "We are closely following developments and will continue to be in regular contact with our Israeli partners, with whom we stand resolutely in the face of senseless terrorism and violence."

    US Ambassador to Israel Tom Nides tweeted: “Horrified to see another cowardly terror attack on innocent civilians, this time in Tel Aviv. Praying for peace and sending condolences to the victims and their families. This has to stop!”

    "[I am] appalled by another heinous attack this evening in Tel Aviv," noted UN special coordinator for the Middle East peace process Tor Wennesland, adding that he "Deplore[s] the welcoming of this attack by Hamas; there is no glory in terror. These acts must stop now and be condemned by all."

    "I strongly condemn the terrorist attack last night in Tel Aviv, this being the fourth terrorist attack in Israel since end of March," noted Swedish Foreign Minister Anne Linde. 

    Dimiter Tzantchev, the European Union's ambassador to Israel, tweeted that he was "deeply worried" by the reports of the terror attack in Tel Aviv. "Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families. The EU stands with Israel."

    "Appalled by the latest reports from Tel Aviv, where innocent people enjoying a Thursday night with friends and family were targeted by gunfire," remarked UK Foreign Secretary Liz Truss. "The UK stands with Israel and against this abhorrent violence."

    Austrian Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg tweeted that he was "deeply shocked by the reports of another heinous terror attack." 

    He added: "In these dark hours we stand by the people of Israel."

    "Poland in strongest terms condemns another deadly terrorist attack in Tel Aviv last night, which took the lives of innocent people," tweeted Polish Foreign Ministry spokesperson Łukasz Jasina.

    "Attacks against civilians must stop immediately. We stand with Israel in these difficult days."

    "Another shocking terror attack on innocent people, this time at Dizengoff St in Tel Aviv. It’s desperately sad to say it again: deepest condolences to the victims and their families and hopes that the injured recover quickly," tweeted Australian Ambassador to Israel Paul Griffiths. 

    The attack was the latest in a series of deadly attacks that began last month in Beersheba, Hadera and Bnei Brak. So far, 13 people have been killed in the attacks.

    Expressions of joy and support in Jenin after name of Tel Aviv terrorist publicized. Terrorist's father: 'Victory will come soon.'

    When the name of the terrorist responsible for the deadly Tel Aviv shooting attack became known, along with the location of his residence, public address systems were heard calling out, "Allahu akhbar," playing "nationalist" songs, and announcing support for the terrorist and the "heroic action" which he carried out in "Tel Al-Rabia," the Arab name for Tel Aviv, the Jewish city founded in 1909 on bare stretches of sand dunes near Jaffa. Terrorist Ra'ad Hazam was eliminated in Jaffa early Friday morning. According to security sources, he did not belong to any terror group.

    The announcements on the mosques' public address system were called in the name of the nationalist and Islamic forces, among them the Fatah movement, to which Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas belongs; and the Islamic Jihad and Hamas terror groups.

    On one Telegram channel affiliated with Arab terror organizations, terrorist Ra'ad Hazam was called, "the lion of the [Al-Quds] troops," and his name was included in a list of 31 terrorists from the Jenin area "who defended Falastin in the past two years." Also included in the list is Bnei Brak terrorist Dia Hamarsha.

    Last night two Palestinian terrorists, one a member of Western funded Palestinian Security Services, shot and killed an Israeli officer, and then they themselves were shot and killed.   The Palestinian Authority official media and Fatah, both headed by Mahmoud Abbas, have responded with support for the attack that killed the Israeli officer.

63. ↑ Itamar Marcus, Fatah boasts: Arafat deliberately started the intifada terror campaign - testimony by Arafat’s advisor who was there, Palwatch, Sep 13, 2022.

    This week, Fatah posted an old interview with Mamdouh Nawfal who served as Yasser Arafat's Advisor on Internal Affairs in 2000. Nawfal described in detail Arafat’s decision to take advantage of then Israeli Parliament Member Ariel Sharon’s visit to the Temple Mount in September 2000 to start a terror campaign that would last a “long” time. The terror orchestrated by Arafat and the PA lasted 4.5 years, during which time Palestinian terrorists, including many members of Arafat’s PA security forces funded by the West, murdered 1,100 Israelis.  Palestinian Media Watch reported at the time, and has added extensive documentation since, that the "second Intifada" was a terror campaign initiated and directed by Arafat, contrary to claims of the Western governments and some Israeli leaders who were misled into believing that Arafat was merely unable to stop it.   In the interview originally broadcast on Al-Jazeera on Feb. 3, 2009, and posted by Fatah on Facebook on Sept. 6, 2022, Arafat’s advisor Nawfal described that already on the day of Sharon’s visit to the Temple Mount, Arafat "dispatch[ed] many people under the name Guardians of Al-Aqsa" to initiate violence.  

    The very next day he gave the orders that the Palestinian terror was to be "everywhere"..
