Despite the massive amount of evidence showing that the jihad against Israel is religiously motivated, there are still those who refuse to believe it. In a message rebroadcast by Fatah, PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas declared:
“It’s not enough for us to say: ‘There are those carrying out Ribat’ (i.e., religious conflict over land claimed to be Islamic). We must all carry out Ribat in the Al-Aqsa [Mosque]. It’s not enough for us to say: ‘The settlers have arrived [at the Mosque].’ They have come, and they must not come to the Sanctuary (i.e., Temple Mount). We have to prevent them, in any way whatsoever, from entering the Sanctuary.”
The video “was one of the triggers to a violent terror wave that left 12 Israelis murdered. Among the attacks in that terror wave was the Har Nof Synagogue massacre on Nov. 18, 2014, when two Arab terrorists from East Jerusalem entered a synagogue in Jerusalem and attacked worshippers with guns, knives, and axes, killing 5 worshippers and a police officer.”
“Fatah seeks to incite violence in Jerusalem,” by Itamar Marcus, Palestinian Media Watch, April 25, 2021:
Fatah rebroadcasts video of Mahmoud Abbas calling to “defend Jerusalem with our lives” that was broadcast numerous times in 2014 as signal to Palestinians that the PA leadership supported terror attacks.
After a week of Arabs rioting every night in Jerusalem, Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah party is actively supporting the rioters and encouraging more violence.
The PA is claiming that Jerusalem is under threat because Israel has not announced its agreement to allow PA elections to take place in Jerusalem. As part of the support for the rioters, Fatah posted on its Facebook page dozens of posts in support of the violence, including a video of Mahmoud Abbas that PA TV broadcast 19 times in three days in October 2014, to signal to Palestinians that the leadership wanted violence and terror.
The post opens with the text:
“The message of [PA] President of the State of Palestine Mahmoud Abbas to our people in Jerusalem – we will defend Jerusalem with our lives. Long live Fatah, the defender of our land, our holy sites, and our people.”

At the time, as PMW reported, this video was one of the triggers to a violent terror wave that left 12 Israelis murdered. Among the attacks in that terror wave was the Har Nof Synagogue massacre on Nov. 18, 2014, when two Arab terrorists from East Jerusalem entered a synagogue in Jerusalem and attacked worshippers with guns, knives, and axes, killing 5 worshippers and a police officer.
The following is Abbas’ call for violence on Oct. 17, 2014, that was rebroadcast now by Fatah:
PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas: “It’s not enough for us to say: ‘There are those carrying out Ribat’ (i.e., religious conflict over land claimed to be Islamic). We must all carry out Ribat in the Al-Aqsa [Mosque]. It’s not enough for us to say: ‘The settlers have arrived [at the Mosque].’ They have come, and they must not come to the Sanctuary (i.e., Temple Mount). We have to prevent them, in any way whatsoever, from entering the Sanctuary…..

Does the PA expect that Israeli Arabs who vote in Israel elections also have the right to vote in Pali ones? B’cos I’ve never seen this anywhere else: maybe someone can correct me here. As a US citizen, I can no longer vote in elections in India. Similarly, sitting in Jerusalem, ‘Palestinians’ can no longer vote in Pali elections either
Rarely says
And this man is a potential partner in a peace process? What’ll you bid for the Brooklyn Bridge?
Infidel says
The alternative is Hamas. Honestly, I don’t see the reason for any ‘process’. The Palis have Gaza, Judea and Samaria, and it’s not that they have a lebensraum issue. Israel should just wall them off and let them stew in their own juices
gravenimage says
Both Fatah and Hamas call for the destruction of Israel in their constitutions–neither one of them is going to partner with Israel for peace.
mortimer says
When the Ottoman army left Jerusalem, and the British army entered, they believe that the land was suddenly ‘OWNED’ by the Pallies, even though it was just recently ‘owned’ by the Ottoman Empire.
Nice trick. The Ottomans left and the land AUTOMATICALLY was ‘owned’ by Pallies.
For years following the conquest, landlords in Constantinople continued to demand rent from their properties in the British-run Mandate of Palestine

Mortimer, the “Palestinians” were not invented until after 1967.
But yes–I take your point,

Fatah rebroadcasts Mahmoud Abbas’ incitement to violence to ‘defend Jerusalem with our lives’
……………….
And Biden is now fudning these murderous thugs again with American taxpayer money.
Andrew Blackadder says
If any Jew or Christian stood up and said anything like what old Abbas is saying then the World would be screaming racism racism, and yet he gets the free pass as an official member of the oppressed brigade, even though he is the guy calling for violence…..
Perhaps he put this video up again is just a distraction, while people forget about his “new elections” speech after he is almost finished with his three term that started about 11 years ago.
muslims really are like sheep, no wonder they love them so much… hint, hint…
