Fatah’s student movement calls for terror in the West Bank

• As Hamas committed atrocities against Israeli civilians, Fatah students showed their support on social media
   
• Hamas murderers praised as "roaring lions of Allah"

During the October 7 Hamas massacre on Israel, Palestinian youth and tomorrow’s Fatah leaders were busy showing their support for the atrocities.

The Student Union Council and Fatah's Shabiba Student Movement at Palestine Polytechnic University posted pictures in support of the Hamas attack. Fatah students praised Hamas terrorists shooting at an Israeli police car in the Israeli city of Sderot during the launch of Hamas’ massacre with the text “Allah’s lions roar”:

Fatah's Shabiba Student Movement further quoted the Quran, clearly calling for more terror against Israelis who would “be powerless” against Allah’s “soldiers”:

Posted text: “In the name of All Merciful Allah

‘Return to them, for we will surely come to them with soldiers that they will be powerless to encounter, and we will surely expel them therefrom in humiliation, and they will be debased’ [Quran 27:37, Sahih International translation]

Allah spoke truth. Continue and Allah will protect you”

Ten days later, Palestine Polytechnic University’s Fatah students not only applauded Hamas’ terror but encouraged all Palestinians in the West Bank to carry out terror themselves “at all points of friction”:

Posted text: “O rage of the West Bank, do not calm down, declare a revolution (refers to Hamas’ terror war on Israel; see note below -Ed.)

The [Fatah] Shabiba Student Movement and the student councils at the homeland’s universities call on the masses of our people to set out to the streets, call for general preparedness, and call for a confrontation at all points of friction, and declare a comprehensive strike tomorrow [Oct. 18, 2023] that will include the distance learning.

The Al-Aqsa Flood revolution (Hamas' name for its terror war against Israel -Ed.)

We are responding to your call, O Gaza”

Palestine Polytechnic University enjoys numerous international academic partnerships, among them with colleges and universities in Haifa in Israel, the Middle East, Germany, Austria, Cyprus, Italy, France, Russia, and the United States.

By no means are the Student Union Council and Fatah Shabiba Student Movement at Palestine Polytechnic University the only Palestinian students expressing support for the Hamas massacre.

Previously, Palestinian Media Watch reported that the Fatah Shabiba Student Movement at An-Najah National University clearly showed support for Hamas’ attack in repeated postings glorifying the atrocities.

Hamas war on Israel October 2023 - At least 1,200 Israelis, including over 1,000 civilians, were murdered and over 4,800 wounded, in addition to approximately 244 who were abducted into the Gaza Strip (including 110 later released or liberated and at least 26 later killed), in a Hamas terror war that began when approximately 3,000 Hamas terrorists broke through Israel's security fence at the Gaza Strip border and launched a surprise attack, taking control of several Israeli towns and attacking a music festival on the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah, which fell on the Sabbath, Oct. 7, 2023. During the massacre the terrorists tortured, raped, shot, beheaded, and burned their victims alive, murdering entire families and leaving at least 21 children without parents. Hamas terrorists also fired at least 5,000 rockets at Israeli population centers. In response, Israel launched Operation Iron Swords to counter the Hamas terror threat. Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon joined Hamas' terror war starting from the following day, attacking Israel from the north. Occasional rocket launches and shootings continued from Lebanon throughout the war. A ceasefire and prisoner exchange deal began on Nov. 24, 2023, in which Israel agreed to release 150 terrorist prisoners, pause drone surveillance in the Gaza Strip, and allow movement between the northern and southern Gaza Strip, in return for 50 Israeli female and child hostages held by Hamas. The deal was subsequently extended with additional releases, until Hamas violated the agreement and resumed attacking on Dec. 1, 2023.
