Israel is wrong if it assumes that only Hamas loathes Israel, says PA
Ambassador to India, Adli Sadeq. Fatah does not respect Israel either.
Moreover, the PA and Fatah utterly reject that Israel has any right to
exist, he wrote in an article in the official PA daily:

"They have a common mistake, or misconception by which they fool themselves,
assuming that Fatah accepts them and recognizes the right of their state to
exist, and that it is Hamas alone that loathes them and does not recognize
the right of this state to exist. They ignore the fact that this state,
based on a fabricated [Zionist] enterprise, never had any shred of a right
to exist..."

Palestinian Media Watch has reported extensively on PA - Fatah denial of
Israel's right to exist. PA leaders and official PA media refer to all of
Israel as "occupied," including cities like Haifa and Jaffa and places like
the Galilee and the Negev.

The following is the excerpt of PA Ambassador to India's denial of Israel's
right to exist:

Adli Sadeq, PA Ambassador to India, in official PA daily:
"The demands of this enemy [Israel] are strange and amazing demands, unique
in the history of conflicts... They [Israelis] are not satisfied with
Palestinian recognition that is a function of their state and its existence,
but want recognition of the eternal right of Israel to exist. Possibly their
nature will bring them to ask for compensation for the years that have
passed without their state's existence, during the time it had the right to
exist upon our skulls... They have a common mistake, or misconception by
which they fool themselves, assuming that Fatah accepts them and recognizes
the right of their state to exist, and that it is Hamas alone that loathes
them and does not recognize the right of this state to exist. They ignore
the fact that this state, based on a fabricated [Zionist] enterprise, never
had any shred of a right to exist... Hamas, Fatah and the others are not
waging war against Israel right now for reasons related to balance of power.
There are no two Palestinians who disagree over the fact that Israel exists,
and recognition of it is restating the obvious, but recognition of its right
to exist is something else, different from recognition of its [physical]
existence."
