Fatah-produced video focuses on Palestinians marching with knives, rifles, and mock explosive belts at anniversary rally in Ramallah

Even before Fatah’s violent threats in response to the US peace plan, Fatah showed its true colors, promising that it will continue on the path of violence in 2020.
Looking at Fatah’s recent anniversary rallies, it is clear that Abbas’movement wants to remind its people and the world that it adheres to the use of violence and terror. In a Fatah-produced video from its anniversary rally in Ramallah, Fatah chose to include almost entirely footage showing masked Fatah members carrying knives and Qurans, assault rifles, and mock explosive belts – complete with detonators in hand. The video, which opens and closes with the logo of Fatah’s youth movement Shabiba and was posted by Fatah on its official Facebook page - also included Fatah members shooting in the air.
