Fatah firar 50 år av terrorattacker

Fatah som leds av Mahmoud Abbas firar att det gått 50 år sedan de utförde sin första terrorattack mot Israel. För Fatah existerar inte Israel som något annat än ett tillfälligt misstag som snart skall försvinna.
Värt att komma ihåg är att för 50 år sedan hade Israel ingen kontroll över västbanken och Gaza, områdena kontrollerades av araberna, Jordanien och Egypten. Men ändå utförde Fatah terrorattacker mot Israel. Varför? Därför att för araberna/palestinierna har det  aldrig handlat om att få kontroll över västbanken utan om att förinta den judiska staten Israel. Där har för övrigt Fatah och Hamas samma mål.

Celebrating the 50th anniversary of "the Launch" (Intilaqa) of the Fatah movement in 1965 when the organization carried out its first terror attack against Israel, Fatah has posted on its Facebook page numerous maps and logos that completely erase the existence of Israel.

Central to the visual images is the map of "Palestine," used by both the Palestinian Authority and Fatah, which includes both the PA areas and all of Israel, thus denying Israel's existence in any borders.

Likewise, the Palestinian National Security Forces used Facebook to deny Israel's existence. It posted pictures of Jaffa, Tiberias and the Negev desert - all of which are places and cities in Israel - referring to them as "occupied" and "Palestine":

Different symbols appear together with the maps. The Palestinian flag indicates political sovereignty over the whole area and rifles imply the violent means with which Fatah intends to obtain this goal. Often the Al-Aqsa Mosque appears in the images to add a religious component and a dove symbolizes the freeing of Palestinian prisoners. Photos of Yasser Arafat, the founder of Fatah, are also frequently used.

Many images or their accompanying texts mention the Intilaqa - "the Launch" of Fatah, which refers to Jan. 1, 1965, when Fatah carried out its first terror attack against Israel, attempting to bomb Israel's National Water Carrier.

Examples of such images can be seen below.

PA and Fatah officials have stated numerous times that they "have not laid down the rifle" and that "all means of resistance" are "legitimate," as documented by Palestinian Media Watch. The frequent use of the rifle as a visual symbol in Fatah's images reflects this ideology.

PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas' Presidential Guards posted a similar image of a map of "Palestine" completely erasing Israel, and with the following religious text:

"Palestine - When I speak of Palestine, I speak of a homeland that bows down to Allah alone, and of undying love."

Official PA TV also promotes maps excluding the existence of Israel. On a children's program, the TV host praised a young girl for wearing a pendant shaped like the "map of all of Palestine" covered in the Palestinian flag - "occupied Palestine, which will return to us some day":

Official PA TV host: "I am happy with Linda because she wears a map of Palestine, dear children, which includes all of Palestine - occupied Palestine - that will return to us some day. Thank you, Linda dear, I love you very much."

Text: "The members of Fatah remain loyal to this movement, which has revived the Palestinian cause and reminded the world of Palestine, and resisted using all the means at its disposal. They are loyal to its commanders and remain loyal to the path, rooted in Palestine and devoted to the cause, which we will never betray."
