But...but...they really, sincerely, deep down, want peace! Note that Fatah is supposed to be the "moderate" Palestinian faction, the one the U.S. is helping as over against Hamas.
An update on this story. "Fatah wing claims responsibility for Wednesday stabbing attack," from the Ma'an News Agency, February 10 (thanks to Maxwell):
Bethlehem - Ma'an - The Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, Fatah's armed wing, claimed responsibility on Friday for the stabbing death of an Israeli soldier near Nablus on Wednesday.Abu Al-Majd, a leader of the armed wing, identified the attacker as Muhammad Al-Khatib, the same Palestinian who Israeli forces took into custody on suspicion of carrying out the attack.
"Al-Khatib, a brigades activist, carried out this attack in response to ongoing Israeli attacks on Palestinians and the assassination of three brigade affiliates in Nablus two months ago," Al-Majd said in a phone interview.
Al-Majd threatened that the Fatah-affiliated faction would carry out more "substantive" attacks in the near future. He also said the delay in claiming responsibility was for security reasons.
The religion of peace carries out killing in struggle for peaceful two state solution. Obowma and Bliar must be pleased that their snuggle up tactics are bearing fruit.
Ah, you've gotta love those peace loving Palestinians!
'Al-Majd threatened that the Fatah-affiliated faction would carry out more "substantive" attacks in the near future. "
Now that sounds like Islam...Islam...the Religion of Perpetual Death....
Wow, the death of one soldier by Palestinians.
Meanwhile the IDF has contributed tons of massacres and all out war crimes. Good job
Remember when Muhammad Al-Khatib was initially described as a "Palestinian security member". No mention at the time that the "Palestinian security" agency in question was the Jihad terrorist agency *Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade*.
And then we have poster "Free Palestine" urging his murderous co-religionists on to greater atrocities, while sneering at their alleged lack of bloodthirstyness.
I have good news for "FreePalestine" above. Palestine has been freed. Gaza was a territory of Egypt, which kept the residents in filthy camps and refused to allow them to work in Egypt. After 1967 tens of thousands of them were given work permits in Israel and the economy improved many times over. In 2005 the Israelis left, and we have seen the result.
Jordan illegally occupied the West Bank, Judea and Samaria, actually, and annexed the territory, closing off all hope of Palestinian autonomy or independence. Israel in 1995 withdrew from 95% of the land and turned it over to the Palestinian Authority. Might have resulted in a state if the Palestinians were not so obsessed with using any land they are given to attack Israel.
One other point. Massacres are not measured in "tons." How about some dates, places and figures to back up your very emotional and totally unsubstantiated charge?

Fascinating debate, what is the religion of peace? Islam or Christianity? Jay Smith takes on the muslims on Hyde Park, Speaker’s Corner in London, every Sunday.
