Fatah's official TV station, Awdah, broadcast a terror promoting music video 72 times in the month of November, the same month Fatah held its Seventh Fatah Conference. 

The theme of the song is:

“My weapon has emerged. There is no force in the world that can remove the weapon from my hand." 
[Fatah-run Awdah TV, 72 times in November 2016] 






The visuals are from old black-and-white films of Fatah terrorists in training. Former PA Chairman Yasser Arafat is shown handing out rifles and making a declaration supporting armed terror:

“For our movement, ‘armed struggle’ means taking part in an armed revolutionary war of the masses.”

In November, a longer version of the video was broadcast four times that included an additional stanza that celebrated death while fighting Israel:

"He who offers his blood doesn't care
if his blood flows upon the ground.
As the weapon of the revolution is in my hand,
so my presence will be forced [upon Israel].”


This music video was first aired on Fatah-run Awdah TV on Feb. 22, 2015. Since then it has been rebroadcast hundreds of times. 

Last week, Palestinian Media Watch reported that during the six days of the Seventh Fatah Conference, PA TV broadcast 11 times a different terror-promoting song, which included the words:

"Slice open the enemy's chest, slice it...The Fatah man... fires the mortar and the machine gun... Strike, mortar, strike!"
[Official PA TV, 11 times from Nov. 29 -Dec. 4, 2016, 
also broadcast on Dec. 31, 2012, and daily on Jan. 1-5, 2013] 


While official Palestinian Authority TV and official Fatah TV were playing terror promoting music, the Fatah conference was voting for terrorist leaders. The person who
received the most votes in the elections for the new Fatah Central Committee was Marwan Barghouti, a Fatah terrorist who is serving five life sentences for orchestrating the murder of five Israelis.

The following are the repeating lyrics from the terror promoting song broadcast 72 times in November:

Lyrics: "From my wounds, my weapon has emerged. 
O, our revolution, my weapon has emerged 
There is no force in the world that can remove the weapon from my hand 
My weapon has emerged. My weapon has emerged." 

Yasser Arafat: "For our movement, ‘armed struggle’ means taking part in an armed revolutionary war of the masses." 
[Fatah-run Awdah TV, 72 times in November 2016;
hundreds of times since Feb. 22, 2015] 
 
A longer version of this song with the following additional stanza encouraging Martyrdom, was aired four times in November 2016 on Fatah-run Awdah TV: 

Lyrics: "He who offers his blood does not care if his blood flows upon the ground 
As the weapon of the revolution is in my hand, so my presence will be forced [upon Israel] 
My weapon has emerged. My weapon has emerged."
