Fatah official quotes fictional Palestinian child: "'Haifa and Jaffa are mine.' That is the struggle"
Official PA TV, special broadcast on the “March of Return” protests in Gaza, in which thousands violently demonstrated on the border and attempted to breach the security fence, hosting Fatah Revolutionary Council member Abdallah Al-Atira
Fatah Revolutionary Council member Abdallah Al-Atira: “To the criminal [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu: One day you will be brought to the international military courts… the young 11 year old and 12 year old now in Gaza, Kafr Qaddum, and Jerusalem say to you: ‘Haifa and Jaffa are mine.’ That is the struggle. That is the real struggle. The real people’s adherence to their legitimate rights will never weaken, and you will certainly withdraw one day… They [the Israelis] bury their dead in our ground, in the West Bank, in order to say one day that this is the grave of a prophet of theirs from the distant past who is buried here.”
"The March of Return" refers to massive violent riots in Gaza in which thousands of Palestinians are rioting on the border with Israel and attempting to cut through the security fence, attacking with firebombs, flaming kites, and gunfire. The riots began on March 30, 2018, and were scheduled to
last for 6 weeks until Palestinian "Nakba" Day on May 15. On the day the US embassy opened in Jerusalem, May 14, 2018, the Palestinian attacks escalated and 62 Palestinians were killed. A senior official of the terror organization Hamas, Salah Bardawil, stated that 50 of the 62 belonged to Hamas, while Islamic Jihad identified 3 others as belonging to it.
The Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center, an Israeli research institute, published research documenting that from the start of the riots on March 30 until May 15, 93 of the 112 Palestinians killed in the riots (approximately 83%) were members of terrorist organizations.
Petitions against the IDF's use of live fire to combat the rioting submitted by organizations that advocate for Palestinian rights were rejected by Israel's Supreme Court on May 24, 2018. The court accepted the state's argument that the riots were "organized and directed" by Hamas, a terrorist organization, and thereby rejecting the claim that the riots were peaceful and civilian in nature. PMW reports were referred to in the Supreme Court's decision.
