Fatah continues encouraging Palestinians to engage in violent protests
and "continue the intifada" against Israel following President
Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital, Palestinian
Media Watch reports.
"It is necessary to continue the intifada and escalate it, and to
see days of popular rage in the coming days," read one post last week
from Fatah's armed wing.
On Monday, Fatah's official Facebook page openly incited Palestinians to
kill Jews: "I am coming towards you, my enemy, from every home,
neighborhood, and street."
The text is actually a lyric, part of Fatah's terror promoting song that
calls for Palestinians "going down from every house with cleavers and
knives with grenades ..."
Multiple Fatah posts have also featured pictures of Palestinians armed
with rocks and slingshots.

incitement.
These statements by the ruling Palestinian Authority party provide
concrete evidence that Palestinian protests are not simply the result of
spontaneous reaction to President Trump's Jerusalem announcement. Fatah is
directly responsible for fueling and organizing violent protests against
Israel.
To encourage mass mobilization, Fatah and the Palestinian Authority
widely promote a complete historical
denial of any Jewish connection to Jerusalem in recent days.
Western observers expect designated terrorist groups like Hamas and Hizballah to call for armed confrontation with Israel,
particularly following a major diplomatic announcement concerning
Jerusalem. But it is important to stress that the so-called moderate wing
of the Palestinian national movement is just as culpable in promoting
violence against Israelis.
