Palestinians Rachet Up Anti-US Rhetoric


Tawfik Tirawi

Fatah Official: U.S. Is #1 Palestinian Enemy -Khaled Abu Toameh

The U.S. is the number one enemy of the Palestinians because it supports Israeli "oppression," Tawfik Tirawi [pictured], a senior member of the Fatah Central Committee, said.

Tirawi, former commander of the PA General Intelligence Force in the West Bank, also said Fatah has not abandoned the armed struggle option against Israel. "Fatah hasn't thrown the rifle aside,"

What else is new. Not sure this is really a ratcheting up of rhetoric but if it is it is no doubt because of the wall against their demands they faced at the UN.

Yep, payback to the US for not falling into line behind the PA. But also an indication where the PA's sympathies really lie: rejectionism.
