The video shows a Fatah rally held in the Gaza Strip on Jan. 1, 2020, for the 55th anniversary of “the Launch” of Fatah,counted from its first terror attack against Israel. The rally was named “Jerusalem, Our Capital and the Pearl in the Crown.”
A child dressed in military uniform and wearing a keffiyeh (Arab headdress) around his neck is holding what appears to be a toy assault rifle.
The event includes a performance by a band and orchestra playing Fatah songs, including the following two songs.
Lyrics:
“The Palestinian people – a revolution
A revolution against Zionism
It has carried its weapons and begun its struggle
Take, [O] struggle, and give to me –
Take my blood, and give me victories
The sun of blood that is above my mountains
Will embrace the flowers of my earthquake
I am confronting you with my bullets
O my enemy, stop in front of me
And you will not cross...
Make the stab, I will fire back
O my enemy, count your days
The revolution is behind you everywhere
Not one of us is sparing his blood
We have declared revolution…
Light a fire in these [refugee] tents
And throw the supplies tickets [into it]
There is no reconciliation and no submission
We will liberate Palestine with our weapons”
Lyrics:
“We appeared in the bases, we appeared
We waved [Degtyaryov] DP machine guns and RPG [rocket propelled grenade launchers]
With our bullets we entered [the field of] death and did not fear
We carried out the operation and returned
Welcome back
We have missed the people whom the enemy encountered
Stomp your foot, our revolution, trample
And ascend in our bullets and our bombs
Clear the path of return, O our revolution, clear it
The Martyrs’ blood illuminates our path
And we are loyal to the oath, O our comrades
We will complete our long road
And by the revolution, we will not relinquish our weapons
Welcome back”
