The fact that the killings will be by Palestinians, not Israelis or Jews, he called a technicality. “Israel will be blamed for it in the end in any case.”
Ramallah, December 31 – Tired of population statistics not bearing out the oft-repeated charge that Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinians, officials among the various factions of the Palestine Liberation Organization agreed on a plan today to massacre thousands of Palestinians to bring the figures in line with those accusations, and thus lend greater diplomatic, moral, and political weight to their own position.
Representatives of Fatah, the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, and several other groups voted unanimously to adopt a policy of murdering their countrymen with the aim of making Israel look bad. While some of the participants could only take part via satellite or the internet, given Israeli security measures to keep them away, all were able to register their support for the move.
The plan is slated to take place in up to three stages. In Stage One, Fatah gangs will round up and massacre thousands of Palestinians. If the world fails to react as if Israel has committed genocide, larger gangs will be formed, to bring the death toll into the tens of thousands. If that level of mass murder similarly proves insufficient, other PLO member groups will be recruited to supplement the killing and reach for six figures, which will guarantee that genocide has taken place by anyone’s definition.
Outside staunch anti-Israel circles, the accusations of Israeli genocide have been dismissed as either exaggerations or fabrications, even among those who sympathize with the Palestinian plight. In fact the Palestinian population has steadily increased, and at a much greater rate following Israel’s capture in 1967 of areas previously occupied by Jordan and Egypt, containing the bulk of the Palestinian population. Such statistics gave the lie to previous accusations of genocide.
Delegates hailed the decision as the first bold endeavor of Mahmoud Abbas’s tenure as head of Fatah. “This is a welcome departure from the do-nothing approach that assumes a passive role in the liberation of Palestine,” said Lemmiya Qillem of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine – General Command. “It has been years since Fatah took active steps to fight the Occupation, rather than express sympathy for the Resistance and merely encourage others, including youth, to throw themselves at the Zionist Entity’s weapons. It’s one thing to glorify martyrs; it’s entirely another to return to Fatah’s roots and plot outright killings, in the process transforming thousands, maybe tens or hundreds of thousands, of people into martyrs when they might otherwise never get the opportunity to become such.” The fact that the killings will be by Palestinians, not Israelis or Jews, he called a technicality. “Israel will be blamed for it in the end in any case,” he explained.
The Islamist group Hamas, not formally part of the PLO, welcomed the decision, but issued a statement saying the Palestinian people needs action, not words. “We await deeds, and wish to see how and whether this decision translates into real-world massacres,” it said. “Otherwise, the weakness of Fatah will once again be on full display, as opposed to our noble Islamic Resistance, which has never shrunk from placing our own children and families in the line of fire specifically so they would be killed, and Israel blamed. Ours is the only proven success in that regard.”
