“Those representing Palestine must be prepared to sacrifice blood” – Fatah official
Fatah TV host presents murderers as the essence of Fatah
“With our skulls we will pave the path to victory, until the liberation of Palestine” - Father of murderer echoes arch-terrorist Abu Jihad
Fatah chooses the path of violence and encourages Palestinians to die as “Martyrs” for “Palestine.” That message was cemented by Fatah Revolutionary Council member Raed Radwan, who stressed that Palestinians must be prepared “to sacrifice blood”:
Fatah Revolutionary Council member Raed Radwan: “All the activities will be directed towards popular resistance… Palestine is the center of the universe religiously, politically, and even geographically… Those representing it must be prepared to make a sacrifice and to sacrifice blood for the sake of this cause. Therefore, these young people (i.e., founders of Fatah in 1965) who believed in their cause and the certainty of their victory against this enemy (i.e., Israel) succeeded… Fatah carried the rifle and succeeded in realizing a long journey of giving adorned with blood, Martyrs, and prisoners. Therefore, Fatah today has a mighty heritage of Martyrs and prisoners.”

The PA has indoctrinated Palestinians with this message for decades. Therefore it is not surprising to hear a Palestinian man – himself the father of a terrorist murderer – paraphrase a statement attributed to arch-terrorist Abu Jihad that promotes death to “liberate Palestine”:
Fatah member and father of terrorist murderer Anan Abu Habseh Muhammad Abu Habseh: “Our heads will reach the sky and our feet will continue to be planted in this good and pure land. With our skulls we will pave the path to victory, until the liberation of Palestine.”

According to the same ideology, a TV Host on Fatah’s TV channel Awdah included mass murderers and arch-terrorists responsible for dozens of murders of Israelis in her description of the essence of the Fatah Movement:
Fatah-run Awdah TV host: “[Fatah] is Yasser Arafat and Mahmoud Abbas. Despite the difference in tone of speech and external appearance, it is Khalil Al-Wazir [‘Abu Jihad’], Salah Khalaf [‘Abu Iyad’], and Dalal Mughrabi. It is Karim Younes, Mahmoud Bakr Hijazi, and Fatima Barnawi. It is the Martyrs, the prisoners, the wounded, the deported, and the self-sacrificing fighters.”

Among the many terror attacks he planned, former PA Chairman Yasser Arafat directed the PA’s 5-year terror campaign – the second Intifada – in which more than thousand Israelis were murdered. Abu Jihad orchestrated attacks in which at least 125 Israelis were murdered, including the Coastal Road massacre led by terrorist Dalal Mughrabi who, together with others, murdered 37 Israeli civilians, among them 12 children. Abu Iyad headed the terror organization Black September and planned the attack on the Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics in 1972 during which 11 Israelis were murdered. Karim Younes murdered one Israeli, Mahmoud Bakr Hijazi tried to blow up the Nehusha Water Institute in central Israel, while Fatima Barnawi placed a bomb in a movie theater in Jerusalem that fortunately failed to explode.
As PMW has documented, the PA and Fatah continuously laud their history of terror and glorifies mass murderers. Any way they can, PA and Fatah tell Palestinians that their focus remains “the armed struggle” – i.e., violence and terror against Israel.

Abu Habseh’s statement above is a paraphrase of a statement attributed to arch-terrorist. Fatah has posted the quote on its Facebook page:
“Our heads will remain high, and our feet planted in the soil of our homeland.
With our skulls we will pave the path to certain victory and return.
The compass will never deviate from the path and will continue to point towards Palestine.”[Official Fata Facebook page, Feb. 20, 2019]
