“Of course, Israel cannot be expected to negotiate with anyone who is dedicated to its destruction. But while I know you have had differences with the Palestinian Authority, I believe that you do have a true partner in President Abbas…” — Barack Obama, March 21, 2013
“Abbas’ Fatah encourages terror attacks by car,” by Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik, Palestinian Media Watch, November 6, 2014:
Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah movement continues to heat up the atmosphere in Jerusalem and actively encourages Palestinians to carry out attacks on Israelis by running them over with cars.
Today, the above cartoon appeared on one of Fatah’s official Facebook pages. “Fatah-The Main Page” labeled the cartoon “the run over organization” (a play on words on the Arabic word for “run over” – da’es – and the Arabic acronym for the Islamic State terror organization – Da’esh). The cartoon urges people to “Hit the gas at 199 [km/h] for Al-Aqsa.” The crossed-over traffic sign says “Al-Aqsa,” hinting that Jews are not allowed to enter the Temple Mount.

Another post instructs: “Run over, friend, run over the foreign settler!” [Facebook, “Fatah – The Main Page,” Nov. 6, 2014]
“The Jews are defiling Al-Aqsa – will you not rage??” was the text of another post yesterday, showing a picture of a shouting Yasser Arafat, thus trying to heat up the atmosphere further. [Facebook, “Fatah – The Main Page,” Nov. 5, 2014]
A picture of a man shooting with a rifle was posted with the words: “Restore your glory.” [Facebook, Fatah – The Main Page,” Nov. 6, 2014]
Another Fatah Facebook page, “The National Liberation Movement – Fatah,” posted a cartoon showing a car trying to ram into three fleeing Jews.
Text under the cartoon: “#Da’es (i.e., ‘run over’) – a new hashtag”[Facebook, “The Palestinian National Liberation Movement – Fatah,”
