Fatah official endorses terror: We have “a right to struggle in all ways to “liberate our land”
A report from the Mar Elias refugee camp near Beirut, Lebanon
Fatah Deputy Secretary in Lebanon Sarhan Sarhan: "I want to repeat what [PA] President Abbas said: … The right of return is a personal right, and no one – not even [the refugee] personally for himself, and even Abbas – can make me give up the right of return… The right of return is sacred. We are gathering here… in the capital of [former PLO Chairman] Yasser Arafat, Abu Jihad (i.e., terrorist, responsible for murder of 125), and all the heroic Martyrs who laid the foundations of what we are doing now. We adhere to the right of return, and we won't give up a single grain of our Palestinian land. Our right is sacred, and we will act by all means, both in popular resistance and in resistance in all forms (i.e., including terror). The international community and international institutions gave us the right, because we are an occupied people whose land is occupied.It has a right to struggle in all ways to liberate its land and establish its Palestinian state. We adhere to liberating our land."
