Fatah Leader Jibril Rajoub Viciously Attacks Israel


(Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center) Jibril Rajoub, a prominent member of Fatah's Central Committee who also serves as the chairman of the Palestinian Olympic Committee and head of the Palestinian Football Association, viciously attacked Israel in a number of recent interviews. In remarks broadcast on official Palestinian Authority TV, he praised the abduction of Israeli soldiers and compared Israel to the Nazis. On December 31, 2013, he said about negotiations with Israel that there was not even a glimmer of hope that peace could be had with "the Fascist occupation...an ugly model of Nazism. On another occasion, Rajoub called for the escalation of popular resistance. "Let them abduct [soldiers]....It is the language they [the Israelis] understand. We encouraged [Hamas] and when they abducted [Gilad] Shalit we blessed and praised them."
