Abbas' Fatah movement has once again demonstrated its support for terror and
violence, as Palestinian Media Watch keeps exposing. The above picture
showing masked Fatah fighters launching rockets at Israel was posted on
Fatah's official Facebook page with a quote from the Quran, indicating that
according to Fatah, even Allah sanctions the use of terror attacks:

"If Allah should aid you, no one can overcome you."
(Quran, Sura 3:160, translation Sahih International)
[Facebook, "Fatah - The Main Page", Jan. 27, 2015]

The text on the flag is Islam's declaration of faith: "There is no god but
Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah."
Another recent Fatah post also showed the rifle as an integral part of the
Fatah movement and the way it wants to "resist" Israel.

The text on the image says: "Resist in any way, do not rest." The image
shows objects hanging from a tree: A rifle, an oud, a map of "Palestine"
that includes all of Israel and the PA areas, a well-known Palestinian
caricature and a camera. [Facebook, "Fatah - The Main Page", Jan. 26, 2015]
The Fatah message is that "resistance" should be performed in several ways -
by documenting events (camera), by way of the pen (cartoon character
Handala), through cultural events (oud), and by using the rifle.
