The Fatah faction expressed its strong condemnation of the ‘heinous terror attacks that took place in Paris last night killing and wounding dozens of innocent people.’
From the Palestinian Authority’s official WAFA news agency:
“Our people are deeply shocked and angered, but mostly saddened by these events aimed at hitting civil life in the wonderful city of Paris. We express sympathy and solidarity with France as a whole as well as to the victims’ families.”
“As people who suffer daily aggressions by Israel we understand the suffering of the injured and the families of those who were killed in cold blood. Palestinians know the bitter taste of losing beloved ones as the Israeli army is killing civilians in Palestine almost by the hour.”
But then, without realizing it, they switched from comparing Israel and ISIS to claiming that ISIS is, like Fatah terrorists, just reacting to Israeli crimes:
“We know that restoring peace and stability in the Middle East is the first step to dry up the sources of terrorism throughout the world,” said the statement, stressing that, “It is time to end the brutal Israeli occupation which breeds violence in the entire world.”
The Fatah Facebook page highlights a Danish “artist” named Hans Kroll who put up a large banner in Aarhus equating terror in Paris with “terror” against Palestinians:
This same Facebook page of course incites its readers to kill random Israeli civilians. But don’t call that terror – only Israel killing the stabbers fits that title to Fatah and their fellow terror-supporters.
The message is a bit inconsistent, but that is only because Fatah, like ISIS, is nothing but a terrorist organization itself – one that pioneered modern terrorism over 50 years ago.
