Fatah, which was founded in 1959 and became dominant among Palestinians in 1967, embodies the foundational roots of the global Palestinian “resistance.” Fatah was originally called the Palestinian National Liberation Movement. Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas is its chairman.
Fatah’s decision to push harder this year in its “resistance” against Israel is true to its origins.
“Armed struggle – Fatah’s focus for 2021,” by Nan Jacques Zilberdik, Palestinian Media Watch, December 31, 2020:
These days, Abbas’ Fatah Movement is busy highlighting its upcoming 56th anniversary. “The Launch” of Fatah is counted from its first terror attack against Israel, when the movement attempted to blow up Israel’s National Water Carrier on Jan. 1, 1965.
In line with earlier years’ celebrations and anniversary posters and logos, Fatah this year too focuses on the “armed struggle” and its continued uncompromising attitude towards peace with Israel.
The central image on Fatah’s poster above is a line of masked men holding Kalashnikov assault rifles, while text glorifies “the revolution.”
Text at bottom of image: “Long live the anniversary of the outbreak of the modern Palestinian revolution
Revolution until victory”

#Fatah56
#Intilaqa” (i.e, “The Launch”)[Official Fatah Facebook page, Dec. 17 and 21, 2020;
Facebook page of Fatah Deputy Chairman Mahmoud Al-Aloul, Dec. 21, 2020]
The poster also carries a logo made for Fatah’s 56th anniversary. At the bottom it includes the PA map of “Palestine” that presents all of Israel together with the PA areas as “Palestine.”…
To further emphasize terror as the core of Fatah’s essence, Fatah paid tribute to “female fighter Hamama Al-Dalki” who the movement said “carried the explosives on her head… for the squad” that carried out Fatah’s first terror attack….

Oh no! Palestinian terrorists need MORE money for arms. This means MORE meetings for ”Palestinian Relief” cash collections in lefty Labour clubs across Britain. I know, I sat through one and the middle aged dewy eyed Labour types met in a little huddle where this female member proudly whispered that she could and had smuggled cash into Gaza by hiding it in SCHOOL BOOKS which were donated for Gazan children’s schools.
