The Palestinian Authority (PA)'s Fatah movement has quoted anti-Semitic material as fact, Palestinian Media Watch revealed Wednesday. 

In an official PA television interview, Fatah spokesperson, Osama Al-Qawasmi, equated the the 19th century anti-Semitic forgery to the Bible.

Fatah official speaks about "Protocols of Elders of Zion" as true Jewish document

"According to Israel's ideology, strategy and policy from 1956 until now, Gaza is outside the Israeli ideological thinking," he claimed, in the April 5 interview. 

"Even in their Protocols [of the Elders of Zion] and even in their Bible [it says]: "Don't live in Gaza."  

Protocols is a turn-of-the-century Russian work claiming that Jews are planning to build a New World Order under their subjugation. It was widely distributed in 1903, but was eventually proven false in 1921.

Anti-Semites frequently quote Protocols as justification for their hate, and the PA is no exception;PMW has shown that it regularly presents Protocols of the Elders of Zion as an authentic Jewish work.
