“My weapon has emerged” - Fatah celebrates anniversary with song promoting violence
Official PA TV broadcast of a song as a filler in between programs in honor of the 58th anniversary of the Intilaqa, “the Launch” of Fatah, counted from its first terror attack against Israel
Lyrics: “From my wounds, my weapon has emerged
Oh, our revolution, my weapon has emerged
There is no force in the world that can remove the weapon from my hand
There is no force in the world that can remove the weapon from my hand
My weapon has emerged
My weapon has emerged”
[Official PA TV, Dec. 31, 2022]
This song contains additional lyrics encouraging Martyrdom that were not aired in this TV broadcast:
“He who offers his blood does not careif his blood flows upon the ground.As the weapon of the revolution is in my hand,so my presence will be forced [upon Israel].”
Text on screen: "’My weapon has emerged’ - this anthem, which was written by poet Salah Al-Din Al-Husseini and composed by artist Mahdi Sardanah, who was given the nickname ‘composer of the songs of the revolution’ - is one of the songs of the revolution.”
Intilaqa - "the Launch" refers to the beginning of Fatah on Jan. 1, 1965, when it carried out its first terror attack against Israel, attempting to blow up Israel's National Water Carrier.
