U.S. Special Representative for International Negotiations Jason Greenblatt slammed the Palestinian Authority’s leading Fatah faction on Monday in response to its threats of a new intifada and attacks to “make the ground burn under the feet of tyrants.” The threats came in response to the impending start of the U.S.-led Bahrain economic workshop, set to begin on Tuesday in Manama.

As the US gov't works to improve Palestinian lives thru an exciting economic vision for the future, Fatah threatens an intifada, attacks & to “make the ground burn under the feet of tyrants.” How sad for those Palestinians who do not support this ugliness. https://t.co/Wsrzh9cf8C

\n\n\n

The Fatah faction, headed by Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas, has already called for violence against the Bahrain workshop, as documented by the Palestinian Media Watch.

\n\n

Now Fatah’s youth movement, Shabiba, has threatened to start a wave of terror attacks in response to Bahrain, writes the PMW’s Nan Jacques Zilberdik.

\n\n

Referring to how Fatah “ignited the first Intifada and the Al-Aqsa Intifada” – the two major waves of Palestinian violence and terror against Israelis – Shabiba’s secretary-general threatened in the official PA daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida on June 21 that Fatah’s youth movement is “still capable of making the ground burn under the feet of the tyrants,” and that it is in “a state of high alert.”

\n\n

Hassan Faraj made the threat in response to Greenblatt, who reacted to PMW’s exposure of Fatah’s call for “escalating confrontations” by calling Fatah’s threat “despicable” in a June 20 tweet.

\n\n

Shabiba also lashed out at Greenblatt and the US, referring to US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, Jason Greenblatt, and US Presidential Advisor Jared Kushner as “the Zionist hate triangle.”

\n\n

Like Fatah and Shabiba, the National and Islamic Forces in the Ramallah and El-Bireh district have called for “popular demonstrations of rage” and “escalation” to show opposition to the Bahrain workshop.

\n\n

“The National and Islamic Forces in the Ramallah and El-Bireh district called to carry out a number of activities in response to the workshop in Bahrain… the forces called to consider [Monday] a day of popular demonstrations of rage as a sign of resistance to the plans to eliminate [the Palestinian cause], and the plots to eliminate our people’s rights,” the official PA daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida wrote on June 23, adding information about a morning gathering in Ramallah and dispersal to “areas of friction” and “escalation of the popular resistance” and urging readers to “consider Tuesday, June 25 as a day of escalation on the ground at the points of friction” as well.

\n
\nThe new character was reported by Palestinian Media Watch, an Israel-based monitor that previously revealed the TV program's promotion of anti-Israeli propaganda through the mouse character "Farfur." The show recently had the mouse die at the hands of an Israeli character.
\nFarfur told children they must pray five times a day until there is "world leadership under Islamic leadership."
\n
\n"We, tomorrow's pioneers, will restore to this nation its glory, and we will liberate Al-Aqsa, with Allah's will, and we will liberate Iraq, with Allah's will, and we will liberate the Muslim countries, invaded by murderers," the mouse character said.
\n
\nIt is now clear that these messages will continue through the new Nahoul character," PMW commented.
\n
\nThe PMW report said the new character announced he is Farfur's cousin and that he wishes to "continue the path of Farfur … the path of martyrdom, the path of the jihad warriors … and in his name we shall take revenge upon the enemies of Allah, the murderers of the prophets. …"
\nThe media monitor said the expression, "murderers of the prophets" is an Islamic expression used by Palestinian Authority leaders to refer to Jews, and defining Jews as the enemies of God is routine on PA religious broadcasting.
\n
\nHamas, which won a majority in parliament in January 2006 elections, officially is considered a terrorist organization by the U.S. government.
\n
\nAccording to PMW, the new children's programming featured this exchange:
\nHostess Saraa': Who are you? And where did you come from?
\nNahoul: I am Nahoul (the bee), Farfur's cousin.
\nSaraa': And what do you want?
\nNahoul: I want to continue the path of Farfur, the path of "Islam is the solution." The path of heroism, the path of Martyrdom, the path of the Jihad warriors. Me and my friends shall continue the path of Farfur. And in his name we shall take revenge upon the enemies of Allah, the murderers of the prophets, the murderers of innocent children, until Al-Aqsa will be liberated from their filth.
\nSaraa': Welcome! Welcome Nahoul.
\n
\nViewers are able to call in and contribute to the program.
\n
\nOne caller announced, "Awake oh children, awake to action, your destiny is one, and it is to become a Shahid (martyr) for Allah."
\n
\nPMW said later in the show another girl paraphrased the Islamic teaching that the hour of resurrection is dependent on Muslims' fighting and killing Jews.
\n
\n"The Prophet (Muhammad) said: The Hour (Resurrection) will not take place until you fight the Jews, they will be east of the river and you to the west, and the rock and the tree will say: Oh, Muslim, servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and fight him!" a 9-year-old told the program hostess.
\n
\n"There was worldwide outrage after PMW reported the existence of Farfur and his hateful messages in May," PMW said. "The New York Daily News dubbed the character 'Terror Mouse,' while Walt Disney's daughter Diane described it as 'pure evil.'
\n
\n"Without apparent regard for the sensitivities of their child viewers, the show's creators killed off the (Farfur) character in a particularly violent way that allowed them to continue the show's rabidly anti-Israel message," the group said.
\n
\nThe show had Farfur being beaten to death. "Farfur was martyred while defending his land," said a teen hostess of the program.
\n
\nThe mouse character had called the Israeli a "terrorist" and the hostess said he died at the hands of the "killers of children."","lang":"en","imageUrl":"","tagIds":["190","193","1035","1036","1039","1045","1142"],"tags":[],"date":{"type":"firestore/timestamp/1.0","seconds":1184630400,"nanoseconds":0},"authorId":[133],"news":false,"published":true,"id":811,"description":"\"'Nahool' the bumblebee is the new replacement on children's TV for the Mickey Mouse look-alike character, 'Farfur,' who was killed off in the face of international outrage following a report on the program by the Palestinian Media Watch organization.\"","author":[{"id":133,"about":"","citeName":{"en":"Julian, H.
