Fatah Official: We Should Launch Popular Resistance Against Israel Because What Unites Us Is The Struggle Against It, Not Dialogue With It | Memri
In a March 21, 2017 article in the Palestinian daily Al-Quds, Fatah Central Committee member ‚Abbas Zaki wrote that nothing has changed since the 1967 defeat. Therefore, he said, Fatah must mobilize its tens of thousands of members and launch a popular resistance campaign against Israel, which all the other Palestinian factions will then join. He claimed that Fatah already did this in the past, after 1967, when its resistance operations „restored the Arab nation’s hope and realized the Palestinian legitimacy,“ because „the sword is ever aimed [at the enemy] and the rifle comes before the olive branch.“ He called on the Palestinian officials to continue pursuing Israel in international courts and to put the good of the homeland before their personal interests, as the „generation of pioneers“ did.
