The above cartoon was tweeted by Abbas’ Fatah movement yesterday. It repeats the Palestinian libel documented by Palestinian Media Watch that Israel is fabricating stabbing attacks, as a pretext for killing Palestinians. The cartoon shows 6 Palestinians lying dead in pools of blood and an Israeli soldier walking by with a basket full of knives, planting a knife by each dead body. Text states in Arabic and English: “Shoot... add a knife... take a photo.” [Fatah Twitter account, Nov. 1, 2015]

Another cartoon also demonized Israeli soldiers as murdering young Palestinians.

 
 
It appeared on Fatah's Facebook page a few days ago and shows a smiling Israeli soldier talking to a pregnant Palestinian woman:
Text above cartoon: "The womb of the free woman is full of knights, O people of Hebron."
Soldier: "We have killed the best of your youth."
Text upper left: "The womb of the free woman is full of men."
The text on the woman's stomach representing the baby is the word "Hebron," referring to recent stabbing attacks carried out by Palestinians in Hebron.
