	Tanzim
		The Tanzim is a body divided into sectors and cells and is involved in all central Fatah functions within the Palestinian population i.e., political and educational activities and military training at all levels, including youth camps from a very young age.
		Tanzim's operations were the spearhead of Fatah activities against Israel during the period of the Intifada.
		The senior commanders of the Tanzim enjoy high-ranking status in the PA. As a result of their seniority and position, together with the recommendation of the appropriate authorities in the PA, some of them are members and active in the ruling central bodies and institutions.

		Tanzim Arabic for "organisation" – is the armed wing of Fatah, the largest faction of the Palestinian Liberation Organisation, and the one that Palestinian Authority (PA) Ra’is Yasir Arafat himself leads.
		In 1996, Tanzim members were at the forefront the demonstrations, and are said to have participated along with Palestinian policemen in shootouts with the IDF.
		A primary duty of the Tanzim is to control the opposition to Arafat in the PA. In the process, though, the organization has grown in power and stature, crating problems for elements within the official PA security apparatus.

	Tanzim (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Tanzim, or Organization, is a loosely organized Fatah militia, which spearheaded some of the riots and traded fire with Israeli troops during September-October 2000.
		The Tanzim fighters, although nominally under Marwan Barghouti's control, are often no more than a ragtag group that does not wait for orders to open fire when confronted with Israeli troops shooting at rioters.
		Although Yasir Arafat has funded the Tanzim fighters and provided their weapons, plenty of other Palestinians with arms--often purchased from Israelis--also act as freelance fighters on the street.

		PA Chairman Arafat sees the TANZIM as a way to incite the population of the West Bank and Gaza, with the organization serving as the contact between the FATAH leadership and the PA, and the population.

	Fatah Rules - Through the Tanzim
		Last year, the Tanzim membership arranged a series of weapons training sessions, thereby sparking much anger by ranking members of the Palestinian security establishment, who are concerned that the Tanzim plans to set up a partisan military arm that would contend with the existing security apparatus.
		Marwan Barghouti became the hero of the Tanzim two months ago, after leading a group of demonstrators in Ramallah against the military intelligence men headed by Musa Arafat, a relative of the Chairman and an out-and-out "outsider." His men had raided a Tanzim office in Ramallah, claiming that weapons were being hidden there.
		The most appropriate body for organizing this sort of violent demonstration is the Tanzim; it has a broad popular base, and is simultaneously a trustworthy outlet for hostility to Israel and the anger of the Palestinian governing bodies.

		Tanzim intended to stop terrorism An hour and half after the heads of Tanzim agreed on publishing a declaration of a unilateral cease-fire, Israel liquidated Salim Shehade in Gaza.
		In the course of their two months' dialogue with the Tanzim, the Europeans were initially sceptical of the Tanzim choosing for a unilateral move, and even more sceptical about the Hamas and Islamic Jihad joining it, but to their surprise it came to fruition at the beginning of this week.
		However, the Tanzim leaders told the Europeans that they were asking for an end to "targeted killings" by Israel, and to the demolition of houses, and for Israel to avoid deportations and withdraw its forces from the Palestinian cities.

	MIPT Terrorism Knowledge Base
		Founding Philosophy: The origins of the Tanzim (“Organization” in Arabic) lie in the leadership group of al-Fatah that remained in the Occupied Territories while the mainstream branch of al-Fatah, led by Yasser Arafat, was based in Jordan, Lebanon and finally Tunisia.
		The Tanzim held political and military sway on the ground but were not included in the Palestinian Authority (PA) leadership, which was dominated by the mainstream faction of al-Fatah.
		As he realized that the time and political climate were not ripe for reform in the territories, Barghouti and his group resorted to terrorism, with the Tanzim rising to public prominence during the beginning of the al-Aqsa intifadah in September 2000.

		The Tanzim is the armed wing of the Fatah, the largest faction of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) led by Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat.
		The Tanzim have played a leading role in the activities of the "al-Aqsa Intifada," including carrying out ambushes of civilian vehicles and bombings of buses in Israeli cities.
		The Tanzim is very much a popular, grassroots organization, whose power is based on its leadership at a community--rather than a national--level.

	Middle East Report 217: Fatah's Tanzim: Origins and Politics, by Graham Usher
		Taken together, the two embodied the tanzim, Fatah's "organization" on the ground in the Occupied Territories, and the leading political and military force behind the al-Aqsa intifada.
		The tanzim trace their origins to those Fatah cadre who--under the guidance of Fatah leader Khalil al-Wazir (Abu Jihad)--cut their teeth in the youth, social and armed organizations that operated in the Occupied Territories both before and during the first intifada, the so-called "inside" leadership.
		In particular, the tanzim asserts that any "end of conflict" must be predicated on Israel's full withdrawal to the 1967 lines, including East Jerusalem, and recognition of the principle of Palestinian refugees' right of return "to their homes" in geographic Palestine.

		Established in 1995, Tanzim (which means "Organization" in Arabic) is the armed wing of Fatah, the largest faction of the late Yasser Arafat's Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).
		The objective of the founders (Arafat and his fellow Fatah leaders) was to create a quasi-military force to counterbalance the escalating power of Palestinian Islamist groups such as Hamas and Islamic Jihad, which had engaged in a number of deadly skirmishes with Palestinian Authority security forces.
		Tanzim militants were in the vanguard of the violent Intifada that erupted in October 2000, when Arafat rejected the Clinton-Barak peace offer and derailed the Oslo talks.

		He, thus, tried to distinguish himself from "the Tunisians," the PLO exile leadership that accompanied Yasser Arafat to the West Bank and Gaza Strip with the implementation of the Oslo accords.
		Barghouti's Tanzim, in fact, were the main force organizing the intifada in early October 2000 (Ronni Sheked, Yediot Ahronot, October 3, 2000).
		The Tanzim, along with Yasser Arafat's personal bodyguard, Force-17, are responsible for approximately 50 percent of the terrorist attacks against Israelis, according to the IDF.

		In other words, the interviewee expresses what the Fatah Tanzim wants the media to hear, which is that the Palestinian Arab people favor continuing the campaign of premeditated, cold blooded murder that has plagued Israel for the past three years.
		For whatever reason, Ross ignores the reality of the Fatah Tanzim, who have taken "credit" for the vast majority of the 18,000 Arab terror attacks that have been inflicted on Israel over the past three years; attacks that have claimed the lives of 897 men, women and children.
		The height of the visit was the meeting that Ross organized for the leaders of the Fatah Tanzim with David Satterfield, the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State.
