Abbas' Fatah movement to Israelis: "All you'll get from us is death"
Only four days after the kidnapping of the three Israeli youths, Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah movement posted a video on its Facebook page promising Israelis: "Death is near." [Facebook, "Fatah - The Main Page," June 16, 2014]
The song promotes violence and destruction in the name of Allah, as it calls to "smash the fortress of the hopeless" and "shout: 'Allah is Greater'" and states that "the remains of our bodies and our blood are a song of rage."
Fatah's military wing, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, is described as "the rival in the land who burns the foreign enemy" and who will "reach the enemy everywhere." Israelis and/or Jews are addressed directly and promised death:
"Stop and consider, sons of Zion, that death is near...
All you'll get from us is death
Stop and consider a thousand times
That a revolution sparks with a flame
Fatah is like a rock, whose soldiers love to fight"
The visuals of the video promote violence through numerous images of Fatah fighters engaged in fighting and holding weapons. The video also shows pictures of grieving Israelis, a wounded Israeli soldier and Israeli medics with a stretcher at the scene of a terror attack.
Palestinian Media Watch has documented other explicit threats made by Fatah against Israelis. In January, a video promised to "turn the beloved [Gaza] Strip into a graveyard for your [Israel's] soldiers," and to "turn Tel Aviv into a ball of fire."
In May, Fatah posted a film glorifying some of the most lethal terror attacks against Israelis as "great operations" -- including the Coastal Road massacre, in which 37 were murdered, and the killing of 11 Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics… Read more.
