PA TV glorifies Arafat for turning terror “into a way of life”

Then PLO and PA Chairman Yasser Arafat: "In 1964, [Fatah's squad] carried out the operations (i.e., terror attacks) that we were required to carry out perfectly within the occupied Palestinian lands."

Official PA TV narrator: "From the ruins of the Nakba (i.e., "the catastrophe," the establishment of Israel) and the heart of the Palestinian revolution emerged a leader who turned the struggle into a way of life: None other than late leader Martyr Yasser Arafat…

[Arafat], together with his comrades, founded Fatah that carried out its first armed operation in 1965 and heralded the beginning of a new phase in the Palestinian revolution…

Martyr Arafat will remain an important eternal leader in the Palestinian historical memory as a leader who reaped his glory between the battlefields and the political corridors."
