Fatah official threatens Israel with terror: “Don’t gamble on our patience”
A Fatah leader issues a thinly veiled threat of renewed Palestinian terror.
Fatah Central Committee member Tawfiq Tirawi: "Their [the Martyrs'] souls hover above you. They are the leaders of this great movement… At their head are Yasser Arafat, Abu Iyad, Abu Jihad (i.e., all terrorists), and all the commanders and all the Martyrs of the Hebron District... My brothers, we say to all the Israeli leadership: Do not gamble on the patience of the Palestinian people. The Palestinian people are patient, but from time to time they teach you a lesson that this patience has reached its limit. From here we tell you: Do not gamble much on our patience."
