Fatah boasts about lynch murder, in a Hamas-Fatah debate portrayed by actors

Fatah student taunts Hamas: Since Hamas seized power [in Gaza], we haven't heard of any Martyrdom operation (i.e., suicide-bombing).

 

Hamas teacher: It's called "fighter's rest."

 

Fatah student: A Hamas fighter needs rest, but a Fatah fighter doesn't need rest?!

 

Hamas teacher: Every fighter has the right to rest.

 

Fatah student: When Fatah stops fighting, [Hamas] say they're cowards, but when Hamas stops fighting, it's ''fighter's rest''...

 

Hamas teacher: I don't know much about resistance (i.e., terror) and fighters...

 

Fatah student: The first shot was fired by the PLO. The first Jihad

was carried out by the PLO (audience applauds), with all the other factions - but Hamas always opposed...

 

Hamas student: What do you say about Hamas having kidnapped the [Israeli] soldier Shalit? By Allah, it's good. Did Fatah ever capture a soldier?!

 

Fatah student:  It was the [other] brigades who captured him [Shalit] and sold him to you [Hamas]. It's a deal that you [Hamas] made for your own benefit, not for the [Palestinian] people's benefit. (Applause) Remember, in Ramallah the [PA-Fatah] police arrested two soldiers - have you forgotten, teacher?!

“In Ramallah the [PA-Fatah] police arrested two soldiers” refers to the Ramallah lynching:

 

Ramallah lynching - On Oct. 12, 2000, a Palestinian mob brutally murdered and mutilated the bodies of two Israeli reserve soldiers, Vadim Nurzhitz and Yossi Avrahami, who had accidentally entered Ramallah.

 

In the audience were Fatah leaders, including former head of PA security Muhammad Dahlan, Director of PLO Commission of Prisoners' Affairs Qadura Fares, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Institute for the Commemoration of Arafat and former PA Foreign Minister Nasser Al-Qidwa, senior Fatah official Samir Al-Mashharawi, and others.
