Fatah

NPOV The Fatah official emblem shows two fists holding rifles and a hand grenade superimposed on a map of the land they claim as Palestine (roughly, present-day Israel , the West Bank and the Gaza Strip ). Fatah (Arabic: فتح); a reverse acronym from the Arabic name Harakat al-Tahrir al-Watani al-Filastini (literally: "Palestinian National Liberation Movement") is a major Palestinian faction and the largest constituency of the PLO , a multi-party confederation . Ironically, the acronym "HATAF" means "death" in Arabic; Arafat reversed the acronym to "FATAH" meaning "conquest" or "victory through holy struggle." The fake acronym "fatah" is a public-relations tool, since the true acronym "hataf", it is perceived, would doom the organization to failure.
