But they sincerely want peace! "Mideast: Jailed West Bank leader elected in Fatah shakeup," from AKI, August 11 (thanks to C. Cantoni):
Bethlehem, 11 August (AKI) - Marwan Barghouti jailed for life in Israel on charges of organising the killing of Jews, was elected to a senior position in Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah faction on Tuesday. Barghouti, 50, who has denied the charges against him, is considered to be a popular figure among many Palestinians and was once seen as a successor to Yasser Arafat.He was among 15 new officials voted into 18 contested central committee seats at the party congress in Bethlehem in the West Bank.
Mohammed Dahlan, a divisive figure who is disliked by Hamas supporters, was also elected, as some members of the Fatah lost their positions....
Indictment of Barghouti here.
When this was originally put up for discussion, we were still using IntenseDebate and IntDeb was royally screwing up: so this is all the discussion that transpired.

HOURGLASSF said - "Not really surprising since ALL members of Fatah ARE Jew-hating murderers."
