Violent Arab riots will “restrain” Israel, says Fatah spokesman in call to violence

Official PA TV, special broadcast on violent Arab riots in Jerusalem

Official Fatah Spokesman Hussein Hamayel: Israel is currently playing with a powder keg, Israel is currently- Until now [there have been] 53 wounded (refers to violent Arab riots; see note below -Ed.)… It needs to be clear beyond the statements and notices of condemnation and the statements of denunciation, there needs to be action on the ground that will be equal to the level of the Israeli crime that the occupation state is committing regarding Jerusalem…

Israel thinks that it is the bratty kid that no one restrains. We need to restrain Israel, and I tell you that the one who will restrain Israel is the Palestinian people and these blessed arms that are throwing stones at them.”

Official PA TV host: Certainly.”

Hussein Hamayel: “And also shoes at the heads of everyone who is negligent and everyone who attempts to attack Jerusalem (in Arab culture throwing shoes at someone is a sign of great disrespect for them -Ed.).”
