Fatah in Gaza wipes Israel off the map

The Fatah Movement – Gaza Strip Branch posted an image and text on its Facebook page

The image shows a child carrying a tire, apparently to burn it in a violent riot; a female rioter masked in a keffiyeh (Arab headdress) throwing a rock; and a masked man in a camouflage uniform carrying a Palestinian flag. Tree roots are extending down from the feet of the three. At the top is the Fatah logo that includes a grenade, crossed rifles, and the PA map of “Palestine” that presents all of Israel together with the PA areas as “Palestine.”

Land Day – annual commemoration of the general strike and demonstrations organized by Israeli Arab residents of the Galilee on March 30, 1976 to protest the Israeli government's decision to expropriate land in the Galilee for security and building purposes, which it later implemented. During the protests, demonstrators burnt tires, blocked roads, and threw rocks and firebombs. Six demonstrators were shot and killed by the Israeli army and police. Israeli Arabs and Palestinians consider Land Day a national day.
