Palestinian Authority head Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah faction continues to praise and celebrate the atrocities committed by Hamas terrorists against Israeli citizens, as the death toll from the terror group’s Oct. 7 massacre passes 1,300, with some 3,000 wounded and more than 100 hostages taken into the Gaza Strip.

Fatah’s Bethlehem Branch posted a video showing four images as a song plays in the background. One image portrays Israelis as a rat being trampled by a boot with the colors of the Palestinian flag on its sole:

Another is of a uniformed man paragliding onto the P.A. map of “Palestine,” referring to Hamas terrorists who paraglided into Israel during the launch of the terror group’s pogrom. The logo is of “The Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades – the Wasps’ Nest.”

Another image shows uniformed terrorists holding assault rifles and sitting in a circle, apparently before setting out to conduct a terror attack. The logo is of “The Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades – the Wasps’ Nest.”

The Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades logo includes crossed rifles and a grenade above the Dome of the Rock, with Palestinian flags below it. The text at the top of the logo reads: “So fight them and Allah will punish them at your hands, put them to shame, help you overcome them, and soothe the hearts of the believers” [Quran 9:14, Sahih International translation]. At the bottom is written: “The Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades—the Wasps’ Nest”

This is a version of a story originally published by Palestinian Media Watch.

“The administration is giving its middle finger to the Congress,” Sen. Chris Murphy told reporters, after he was denied access to U.S. military facilities in the Gulf.
“So much of the New York Oct. 7 story is the role that the New York Jewish community played in fighting for the return of the hostages,” Hindy Poupko of the UJA told JNS.
“The charging by the FBI of Haverford College associate professor Guangtian Ha for harassment and intimidation of a Jewish Israeli professor closes the dotted line between verbal acts of harassment and actionable violence which, when Jews are the recipients, is far too often ignored,” Lori Lowenthal Marcus of the Deborah Project told JNS.
“Mamdani could not even give us one day to mourn without defaming the Jewish people and giving cover to our enemies,” Inna Vernikov, a Jewish member of the New York City Council, told JNS. “We will not let Mamdani and his radical pals rewrite Oct. 7.”
