Al-Arabiya news channel interviewed Deputy Secretary of the Fatah Central Committee Jibril Rajoub:
“Of course we want to bear our responsibility, but it is this occupation (i.e., Israel) that unilaterally attacks us, that is continually settling scores with us for the German Holocaust. [Although] we have nothing to do with it, we are paying the price for it, and it [Israel] is carrying out the same actions against us [that were carried out against Jews in the Holocaust].”
