Fatah
In campaign advertisements, Mr. Roub and other candidates appeared, that vie for space among the thousands of posters plastered on every flat surface in town. The Al Aksa Martyrs Brigades, which is made up of members of Mr. Abbas's Fatah party, emerged soon after the latest Palestinian uprising began in 2000. Mr. Roub mentioned that Fatah is very much divided and fragmented, and Abbas is trying to bring it together. He contends the election offers him a better way to continue his struggle with Israel. Mr. Roub and other candidates for the Fatah movement appear in campaign advertisements that compete for space among the thousands of posters plastered on every flat surface in town. His first foray into politics was the Fatah primary election in November. Mr. Roub drew the largest number of votes out of more than 40 candidates in the Jenin region and he was given the No. 12 position on Fatah's list of parliamentary candidates, as a result.
