Following yesterday's stabbing attack in Tel Aviv, when a young Palestinian
stabbed and wounded more than a dozen people in a bus in Tel Aviv, Abbas'
Fatah movement posted the following text on Facebook, referring to the
terror attack as a "self-sacrificing operation" (amaliya fida'iya in
Arabic):

Posted text: "Urgent! Self-sacrificing operation in Tel Aviv: A knife attack
inside a bus. Reports of the wounding of 10 Israelis and the wounding of the
man who carried out the operation from Israeli police fire. The area has
been sealed off and the Israeli police is conducting an extensive search in
the area."

[Facebook, "Fatah - The Main Page", Jan. 21, 2015]

The Hamas-controlled Palestinian Interior Ministry in Gaza praised the
attack with the following text on its Facebook page:

"A morning of homeland and freedom, a morning of the knife's point of the
rebel for Palestine"

Official Palestinian Authority TV reported on the terror attack, calling it
a "stabbing operation" and accused Israeli Prime Minister of "incitement"
for blaming the terror attack on the ongoing incitement by PA and Fatah.
Palestinian Media Watch has documented the ongoing incitement by both Fatah
and the PA, including the recent explicit promotion of stabbing attacks:

Official PA TV newsreader: "According to Israeli sources, the person who
carried out the stabbing operation in a bus in Tel Aviv was a Palestinian
resident of Tulkarem... As part of [their] policy of incitement, Prime
Minister of the occupation Benjamin Netanyahu and the party leaders in Tel
Aviv placed responsibility for the stabbing operation on President Mahmoud
Abbas and the Palestinian Authority."
