But of course we know they really want peace! All Obama has to do is press the Israelis for more concessions, and all will be well!
“‘Peace partner’ boasts of more terrorism than Hamas,” by Aaron Klein for WorldNetDaily, June 30 (thanks to Weasel Zippers):
TEL AVIV — Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah organization recently staged a televised play in which the group bragged it is responsible for more terrorism against Israelis than the rival Islamist Hamas organization.
The staged drama, broadcast on official PA television June 17, was attended by top Fatah leaders, including officials who routinely coordinate security with the U.S. and engage in negotiations with Israel.
The performance included a segment in which a classroom of Fatah and Hamas students and teachers debated each other on who was responsible for more “resistance” against Israel, with Fatah ultimately prevailing while criticizing Hamas for failing to launch enough attacks against the Jewish state in recent years.
A translation, provided by Palestinian Media Watch, reads:
Fatah student taunts Hamas: “Since Hamas seized power, we haven’t heard of any Martyrdom operation (suicide-bombing).
Hamas teacher: “It’s called ‘fighter’s rest.'”
Fatah student: “A Hamas fighter needs rest, but a Fatah fighter doesn’t need rest?!”
Hamas teacher: “Every fighter has the right to rest.”
Fatah student: “Why is it that when Fatah stops fighting, you (Hamas) say they’re cowards, but when Hamas stops fighting, you say it’s ‘fighters’ rest’?”
Hamas teacher: “I don’t know much about resistance (terror) and fighters. …”
Fatah student: “The first shot was fired by the PLO; the first Jihad was carried out by the PLO (audience applauds), with all the other factions — but Hamas always opposed.
Hamas student: “What do you say about Hamas having kidnapped the (Israeli) soldier Shalit (still held hostage — Ed.)?”
Hamas teacher: “Ahaaa!”
Student: “By Allah, it’s good.”
Hamas student: “Did Fatah ever capture a soldier?!”
Fatah student: “It was the (other) brigades who captured him (Shalit) and sold him to you (Hamas). It’s a deal that you (Hamas) made for your own benefit, not for the (Palestinian) people’s benefit. (Applause)
Fatah student: Remember, in Ramallah the (PA-Fatah) police arrested two soldiers — have you forgotten, teacher?!”
