Fatah official: Israelis are murderers and messengers of instability

Abbas Zaki, a member of the Fatah Central Committee member, lashed out at Israel in a recent televised appearance, saying that Israelis practice apartheid, that they are murderers, and "messengers of instability," while the Palestinians are "messengers of peace."

He further said that the US should reconsider its stance towards the Palestinians.

The comments by Zaki were made in a public address that was aired on Palestine TV on September 29 and translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).
