One of the consistent themes of the Fatah Facebook page is the constant posters and videos of Yasir Arafat.
The reason is obviously because Arafat was a charismatic leader who unified the always-fractious Palestinians, a leader that has never been replaced.
But the secondary, and hilarious, theme of the Fatah page is that Abbas is that successor.
At every opportunity they will show Abbas and Arafat together to confer legitimacy on Abbas that he clearly doesn't have - because if he did, they wouldn't have to keep doing this.
For the past week or so the Fatah page has been obsessing on the 13th anniversary of Arafat's death, complete with a logo that shows exactly how much respect they have for the two-state solution.

All while they claim that Israel - the state that would disappear in every one of their maps - is the one that is killing peace:
Which means, of course, that their concept of "peace" is one where there is no Israel.
Abbas' party's support for terror, their obvious lies and their pathetic attempts at propaganda are public and obvious even without knowing Arabic. The Western world chooses to be blind.
