PA deceit: Oct. 7 is Palestinian day of mourning
On October 7, 2023, it was Palestinian terrorists and civilians led by Hamas who raped, tortured, massacred and burned over 1,100 people alive in Israel and kidnapped 250 hostages - not Israelis.
But the Palestinian Authority wants to turn the date "October 7" into a global memorial and commemoration of a fictional massacre of Palestinians that never happened.
Fatah Revolutionary Council member Tayseer Nasrallah:
"[On October 7] we will commemorate the anniversary of the massacre, the new Nakba, the disaster that befell the Palestinian people, on the first anniversary.
The Palestinians worldwide… need to be the spearhead of the global activity to aid the Palestinian people and of the effort to commemorate this massacre, this Nakba, the commemoration of the anniversary that will join the Nakba of 1948 that we have been commemorating for 76 years already."'
[Official PA TV, Sept. 22, 2024]
For 76 years, the Palestinians have been commemorating May 15, Israel's Independence Day, as a day of mourning - what they call the Nakba - the "catastrophe" of Israel's establishment. Now, to distract the world from the horrific massacre perpetrated by Palestinians of all factions and supported by an overwhelming majority of all Palestinians, the PA wants to rewrite history and present October 7 as a second day of Palestinian victimhood and turn the Palestinian attackers and their supporters into the victims.
There is a striking parallel between the way Palestinians rewrite the history of Israel's creation and October 7. In both events, Arab-organized militaries together with Arab civilians attacked and murdered Israelis. Following both May 15, 1948, and October 7, 2023, Israel responded with major force and defeated the armies/terrorists and their supporters, and hundreds of thousands of Arabs lost their homes. In both cases, the Palestinians are attempting to rewrite history by presenting the Palestinian murderers as victims. In both cases, the Palestinian Authority is trying to blame Israel for the catastrophe that their own actions brought on themselves.
