Fatah head Abbas reveres terrorists, lauds participants in violent Arab riots, and Fatah calls for an “expansion of confrontation” with Israel.
Fatah is calling for “expansion of the confrontation” with Israel. That was the message coming out of a meeting of the Fatah Revolutionary Council led by Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, who is also the head of Fatah.
The council also stressed Fatah’s involvement in violence, using the PA euphemism “popular resistance” – a term that Palestinian Media Watch has proved is used by PA leaders at times to refer to deadly terror attacks and terror waves.
Opening the meeting of the Revolutionary Council, Abbas emphasized the message that terror is legitimate and terrorists are heroic. Doling out his “blessings,” he first singled out groups that are notoriously known to be comprised of terrorists – “the Martyrs, the prisoners, the wounded.”

Then he addressed the rest of the Palestinian people, again stressing the value of “fighting.”
He rounded this off by specifically lauding “all the members of our people who supported the Jerusalem uprising” – a clear reference to the violence and riots that started in April and continued into the recent war in May when terrorists from Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and even Fatah fired over 4,300 rockets at Israel.

As previously exposed, Abbas defined as “peaceful popular uprising” the murderous terror during the 2015-2016 terror wave (“The Knife Intifada”), in which 40 people were killed (36 Israelis, 1 Palestinian, 2 Americans, and 1 Eritrean) and hundreds were wounded in stabbings, shootings, and car-ramming attacks. Abbas said: "We want peaceful popular uprising, and that’s what this is." At the time Abbas said this, 14 Israelis had already been murdered.
