“Our war is against the US,” Palestinians are victims of “colonialism” - Fatah official
Fatah Central Committee member Abbas Zaki: “Our war now (i.e., 2023 Gaza war) is a war against the US and not Israel because Israel’s guarantee of life is the US… Old colonialism, in other words the European colonialist states, wanted to take the Jews and create a base close to them that is hostile to their surroundings, and offered to establish Israel in Argentina, Uganda, and the like. But when the oil was discovered, the lifeline of modern industry, they wanted to take control of the Middle East region from the ocean to the gulf, and therefore Palestine fell victim to this oppressive criminal alliance… What is the meaning of Zionism? Taking control of the world… We anticipate that a massacre will happen, [the Israelis] will take action now to destroy the Al-Aqsa Mosque and build the Temple, and they have already brought the [red] heifers, and if they will do this, Allah willing Israel will end… The US is the one that is fighting against us now. If the war was Israeli-Palestinian, the Arabs would have eliminated Israel a long time ago… Our connection with China is very strong, we have a strategic partnership with China. Our connection with Russia is very strong…
Israel could not fight against any faction, not even against a state, if not for the US, and Allah willing the US will not be the world ruler.”
