New Fatah song encourages murdering Jews with cleavers

From Palestinian Media Watch, seen on Fatah's Facebook page:




I'm coming towards you, my enemy, from every house, neighborhood and street
Our war is a war of the streets.
I'm coming towards you, my enemy
We're going down from every house with cleavers and knives
With grenades we announced a popular war
I swear, you won't escape, my enemy, from the revolution and the people.
How will you escape the ring of fire while the crowds are blocking the way?
I'm coming towards you, my enemy, from every house, neighborhood and street
There is a subtext here: the glee at the successful murder of Jews.

Palestinian Arabs have been frustrated at the fact that their terror attacks over the past few years have been largely ineffective. For a while they celebrated every bus bombing until Israel figured out how to counter and shut down the second intifada. Then rockets were the object of Palestinian Arab love and songs, until Iron Dome killed that. Now they have reason to celebrate again.

Anyone who watches Palestinian Arab media and social media knows well the happiness that accompanies murders of Jews. I've only seen one exception: the slaughter of the Fogel family in Itamar in 2011 did not bring about this kind of bragging. But every single other fatal attack has been cheered, no matter who or where the victims, as long as they were Jewish.

Similarly, almost all condemnations of terror attacks against Jews by Palestinians are nonexistent or muted or "contextualized."

The West refuses to publicize this simple fact because of the emotional investment in the lie that both sides are morally equivalent. Without that fiction, the entire idea of real peace goes up in smoke. So truly outlying racist comments by Jews are exaggerated (even though they are roundly condemned by Zionists) and videos like these are ignored even though there is literally zero backlash visible in Arab media.

There is no moral equivalence, Israelis and Zionists, across the board, are far more moral than the vast majority of Palestinians. Any objective views of both sides' media - both what is written and what is written in response - shows this to be indisputable,

But political correctness makes this fact all but invisible to the world, and anti-Israel propaganda turns the truth on its head.
