Just a few reminders about what exactly that means:
1. Fatah was founded in the 1950s, but it doesn't celebrate the date of its founding. It celebrates the date of its first attempted terror attack, against Israel's national water carrier. It was the definition of a terror attack, an attempt to make most Israelis die of thirst.
Fatah defines itself as a terror group.
2. The Palestinian Authority is run by Fatah.
3. Mahmoud Abbas controls Fatah - meaning, he is the head of a group that openly celebrates terror.
4. Fatah has never stopped actively supporting terror, as its current party platform makes clear.
5. This attack happened in 1965 - before "occupation." Fatah then had, and now has, a goal of the destruction of Israel, not an end to "occupation."
6. Hamas congratulated Fatah on this occasion, saying "We congratulate our brothers in the Fatah movement on their 58th anniversary, and we affirm our firm strategy with the inevitability of joint national action on the grounds of adhering to the principles of our people, and the struggle in all its forms, to restore its just national rights, foremost of which is liberation."
There is no fundamental difference between the two.
