Earlier this year, The Guardian published a CiF article saying that Marwan Barghouti must be released from Israeli prison, calling him "Palestine's Nelson Mandela":

[I]f peace is ever to come, Israel will have to acknowledge that Barghouti was a political and not a military leader, that he never carried arms and that he always opposed actions targeting Israeli civilians, even while defending the right of Palestinians to resist.

Today, Barghouti called on Palestinian Arabs to start an armed uprising against Israel.

Jailed Palestinian leader Marwan Barghouthi urged the Palestinian leadership to give its backing to "armed resistance" against Israel in a letter published Tuesday as a wave of violence surged.

In a letter to mark 10 years since the death of veteran leader Yasser Arafat, Barghouthi said that "choosing global and armed resistance" was being "faithful to Arafat's legacy, to his ideas, and his principles for which tens of thousands died as martyrs."

"It is imperative to reconsider our choice of resistance as a way of defeating the occupier," he wrote.

With religious tensions also surging at the flashpoint Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in Jerusalem, a site holy to both Muslims and Jews, Barghouthi urged the Palestinian leadership to take action and make good on threats to end security cooperation with Israel.

"The Palestinian Authority must review its priorities and its mission ... and put an immediate end to security cooperation which is only strengthening the occupier," he said.

He also remarked on the circumstances of Arafat's death, saying his "assassination" was the result of "an official Israeli-American decision."
Which pretty much means he is calling for another terror spree such as the second intifada in which he was so instrumental.

Expect to see the supposed supporters of "non-violent resistance" against Israel to start to parrot Barghouti's words in the upcoming weeks.
