Fatah Central Committee Member Jibril Rajoub: Fatah Will Not Lay Down Its Swords Until the Refugees Return, Resistance Is Its Strategic Choice

Following are excerpts from an address delivered by Fatah Central Committee member Jibirl Rajoub, which aired on Palestinian Authority TV on November 29, 2012.


Jibril Rajoub: What brother Abu Mazen [Mahmoud Abbas] is doing is living proof of the independence of our decision making and our will. This is the sacred message borne by the greatest Palestinian since Jesus – Yasser Arafat. It runs in the genes of all the Palestinians.
