Fatah appeals to Europe to help get rid of “the only racist colonialist Israeli occupation in the world”
“Fatah spokesman Osama Al-Qawasmi… called on the governments of those European countries whose parliaments have recognized the Palestinian state to translate the will of their people into an official decision on recognizing the Palestinian state. In addition, he called on these hesitant countries and on those preparing the wording of the recognition and conditioning it on the outcome of the negotiations, to lean toward international law, and to understand that it is Israel that wishes to condition recognition of the Palestinian state on the outcome of the negotiations, and that this will not help the Palestinian people in its legitimate struggle to rid itself of the only racist colonialist Israeli occupation in the world."
