Fatah ‘soldier’ on video eating snake

The Palestinian Media Watch, which monitors and reports on the media campaigns from the Palestinian movement, long has documented the use of social media by various military and political groups in the Middle East to portray a message.

Now, the message from Fatah, through that social media, is that it’s apparently a good thing to eat a snake.

The organization is publicizing a video that promotes the training of its soldiers, showing training exercises to abduct an enemy and more.

“Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah movement apparently sees biting and chewing on a snake as a sign of military prowess,” PMW wrote, “and included it in a new terror promotion video it posted on its Facebook page.

“It seems that the snake eating exemplifies what it takes to be ‘heroes of a mighty people’ – the lyrics of the song in the background as the Fatah fighter east the snake.”

The video also shows members of the group “practicing the kidnapping of an Israeli through a tunnel,” explosions, firing weapons and more.

PMW previously documented Fatah’s use of social media, wherein the organization posted cartoons suggesting Israel worked with ISIS on the Paris terror attacks, charged that Israel “breeds violence in the entire world,” and compares the ISIS bloodshed in France to Israeli “terror” against Palestinians.

The song lyrics that accompany the new video are:

“These are the soldiers of the Nidal Division

“Sons of Yasser (Arafat), Abu Amar

“Lions standing guard in the battle field…

“They inflicted disasters upon the oppressor

“They are the heroes of a mighty people

“Volcanoes and fires against the occupier

“A sniper unit in the battalions does not fear death

“They are the meroes of a might people

“Using RPGs and bobby-traps, they did not leave even one settlement.”

Fatah is a political/military movement whose founders included Yasser Arafat. For years it was considered by some to be a terror faction. It now is considered a political party and a large part of the Palestine Liberation Organization, which also includes other interests.

The Jerusalem Post said the video was from Fatah’s “armed wing,” “Al-Aksa Martyrs Brigades.”
