Fatah-run Awdah TV host: “My brother (i.e., the Arab states), the oppressors have gone too far with their occupation of Palestine and Jerusalem (a reference to the song “Brother, the oppressors have gone too far”; see note below -Ed.). They have gone too far, my brother, thanks to your silence and your restraint towards their crimes. They have gone too far, my brother, by occupying a land that is not theirs for a time that is not theirs. They have gone too far, my brother, by killing our young men and women, our children. They attacked our people and our Islamic and Christian holy sites at the portion that is closest to Heaven. They attacked it, my brother, as a result of the Arab normalization with the occupation entity – this normalization that gave them full support to attack and kill for the whole world to see and hear (refers to Abraham Accords; see note below -Ed.). They have gone too far, my brother, and have defiled our Islamic and Christian holy sites…
But a day will come and you [in the refugee camps] will return, and Allah willing you will be in Palestine soon when is it liberated – without occupation, without settlements…
We all know that the oppressor will not have a long life on this land as time goes by. It will return to its people, sooner or later it will return to its people…
The time has come for us to wave the Palestinian flag – and only the Palestinian flag…
We repeat after our late Martyr leader [former PLO Chairman and PA President Yasser Arafat] and say: ‘Millions of free people are marching to Jerusalem,’ and if it is necessary: ‘Millions of Martyrs [are marching to Jerusalem].’ Our souls are insignificant for the sake of Jerusalem, for the sake of its land, and for the sake of a grain of its soil.”
The full lyrics of the song “Brother, the oppressors have gone too far” are as follows:
"Brother, the oppressors have gone too far
Therefore Jihad is necessary
and self-sacrifice is necessary...
How can we let them steal the Arabness -
the glory of the forefathers and the rule? ...
Draw your sword from its sheath, and
let it not return to the sheath afterwards...
Brother, rise to [Jerusalem],
the [first] direction of prayer
We will defend the church
and the mosque
Brother, if my blood will flow in the soil,
and my hand will lay on its stones
Then find a free soul that has refused
to let enemies step on it
Kiss a Martyr on the land, who called on
its behalf to Allah and fell as a Martyr...
Palestine, the young people
will redeem your territory
May the self-sacrificing fighter
and the redeemed [land] be exalted
Palestine, our chests will defend you - life or death”
Israel-UAE peace agreement (Abraham Accords) – an agreement normalizing diplomatic ties between Israel and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), which was announced on Aug. 13, 2020, under the mediation of US President Donald Trump. Pursuant to the agreement, the countries will discuss bilateral cooperation on a number of topics. In exchange for the agreement, Israel agreed to suspend its previously announced plans to apply Israel's civilian law to parts of Judea, Samaria and the Jordan Valley as per the Trump peace plan. The US announced that “Muslims throughout the world who wish to come in peace to pray at the Al Aqsa Mosque, will now be able to fly to Tel Aviv through Abu Dhabi to do so and will be welcomed.”
Yasser Arafat – Founder of Fatah and former chairman of the PLO and PA. During the 1960s, 70s and 80s Arafat was behind numerous terror attacks against Israelis. Although he received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1994 together with then Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and then Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs Shimon Peres “for their efforts to create peace in the Middle East" after signing the Oslo Accords peace agreement, Arafat launched a 5-year terror campaign - the second Intifada (2000-2005) – in which more than 1,000 Israelis were murdered. Arafat died of an illness in 2004.
