Fatah tells Suha Arafat to shut up, says it is proud of its terrorism in the second intifada

In response to Suha Arafat's controversial interview with an Israeli newspaper, where she said that Israel didn't kill Yasir Arafat and that the second intifada was a mistake, the Fatah movement issued a statement to Suha. They said that Arafat was indeed poisoned by Israel.

Suha herself all but accused Israel of poisoning Arafat back in 2013 and certainly did not claim it was a fellow Palestinian who killed him, as she now say. 

Beyond that, they insult Suha for running to Paris when the second intifada broke out, implying that she is a coward.

Most tellingly, they defend the terror spree that was the second intifada, which killed a thousand Israelis with bus bombings and suicide terror - and resulted in the deaths of many more Palestinians. This is, to Fatah, a glorious episode of honor.

Does Fatah think that this message will endear them to the West that they demand money from?

Here is the press release from Fatah. 

At the height of our people's celebration of the 56th anniversary of the glorious start of the Fatah movement - the start of the contemporary Palestinian revolution, whose name and history are forever linked to the name of the founding leader martyr Abu Ammar [Yasir Arafat], Mrs. Suha looks at us through the window of the occupation to try again to distort the history of the martyr, the symbol Abu Ammar, by giving a document of innocence for his blood is for the enemy whose leaders have devoted all their tools of murder and terror to get rid of him through a long series of successive assassination attempts, pursuit and sieges, the last of which was his siege in the "Muqataa", which ended with poisoning Commander Abu Ammar with radioactive polonium that no one in the region possessed - only the settler occupation state can manufacture it.

Regardless of the sinful hand that Israel used to reach Abu Ammar, the direct responsibility for his assassination rests with this terrorist entity, and Mrs. Suha Al-Tawil does not have the slightest legal, political or moral foundations to absolve the enemy of this crime, and thus she is placing herself in the trench of enemies. 

As for her talk about the second intifada - the Al-Aqsa Intifada, this is her point of view that is consistent with her practices since the beginning of the uprising, as Mrs. Suha fled the homeland and abandoned her natural role in standing by her husband in the siege, indifferent to the threat that he was lurking in.

For comparison, many citizens of foreign countries refused to leave Palestine and preferred to stay with their life partners who were ordinary Palestinian citizens. The Al-Aqsa Intifada does not await the testimonies of those fleeing the confrontation. It is an uprising that has become a part of the history of our people and their struggle that we are proud of and all the sacrifices that this people made during it in order to wrest their freedom and independence.

Mrs. Suha Al-Tawil should stop trying to distort the life of the eternal leader Abu Ammar and distance herself from participating in the campaign waged by the enemies of our people to instill despair in its ranks and whiten the image of the occupation state and those who collaborate with it, whether they are rushing to "normalization" or those who have taken refuge in themselves.
