Erekat says Israel, not Hamas, is terrorist

A couple of days ago Saeb Erekat made some headlines in Israeli media by declaring that "“Hamas is not and will never be a terrorist organization to us.”

He has now added to that theme, by saying that not only is Hamas not a terror group, but Israel is the real terrorist entity.

Arabic media is reporting that Erekat said that "the occupation is the worst kind of terrorism under international law."

He repeated himself to Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, saying: “The real terrorism is the [Israeli] occupation and settlement construction, and not Hamas."

No doubt the Quartet just nodded their collective heads, thinking that Erekat has the right to his own narrative where terror is peace, right is wrong and black is white.
