Palestinian Media Watch has examined how Fatah used its Facebook page to mark its 48th anniversary. The page glorifies violence and terror as acts of heroism, and depicts a world without Israel. The Facebook page is filled with pictures of automatic rifles and slogans venerating arms. In some pictures, young children are shown carrying rifles. Other pictures show maps of "Palestine" that include the PA areas as well as all of Israel. Fatah's page glorifies Saddam Hussein and memorializes terrorist Dalal Mughrabi, who led the most lethal terror attack in Israel's history: a bus hijacking attack that killed 37 civilians. In addition to his position as PA Chairman, Mahmoud Abbas is also Chairman of Fatah. As part of its celebrations, Fatah posted two pictures showing young children holding automatic rifles that are almost as large as the children. One picture has the words: "The 48th anniversary of the Launch of the Palestinian revolution" My mother gave birth to me to fight, and Fatah gave me the gun." EFTA00700958
