Fatah implicitly calls for violence in Jerusalem and “is prepared to sacrifice thousands of Martyrs”
Fatah Jenin Branch Secretary Ata Abu Armila: “We in Fatah are calling on all the masses of our Palestinian people to head towards Jerusalem to defend the Al-Aqsa Mosque and defend our people here inside the mosque- inside Jerusalem… The events have not ended and will not end until the occupation leaves our Palestinian people, stops the attacks against the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and stops the expulsions in the Sheikh Jarrah and Silwan [neighborhoods of Jerusalem]… Therefore, we are in an ongoing state of general mobilization.” …
Fatah Ramallah and El-Bireh Branch Secretary Muwaffaq Sahwil: “What is required of us at this stage, according to the instructions of the Palestinian leadership, is to emphasize the continuation of the popular national activity… The message… is important: Responding to the call to participate in activities in a message to the world that the spark began from Jerusalem – in all the intifadas that took place in the Palestinian people’s history, [the spark] was in Jerusalem. [I want] to emphasize the call and the invitation to the Palestinian people in Ramallah – the beginning [of the activity] is in Ramallah – to participate and be present in a message to the world saying that the Palestinian people, which has sacrificed thousands of Martyrs, thousands of prisoners and wounded, is prepared to sacrifice thousands of Martyrs, wounded, and prisoners for the sake of Jerusalem.”
The mention of “popular national activity” is similar to the terms Peaceful\popular uprising/resistance
