Oh, please. Why don’t they just knock it off with the phony denunciations of “terrorism?” I am completely, 100%, down to the very roots sick and tired of their obvious lies.

Fatah opposes attacks on Israeli civilians, favors ‘peaceful struggle’.

RAMALLAH, West Bank (AFP) - Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat’s Fatah movement opposes attacks on Israeli civilians and supports a “peaceful struggle” with Israel, according to a draft resolution released following a three-day meeting.

The Fatah Revolutionary Council, grouping Arafat and other leaders of the main Palestinian movement, was to publish a final statement Saturday night, council member and Telecommunications Minister Azzam al-Ahmad said.

According to Ahmad, who read to reporters extracts of the proposed resolution, the FRC “had been clearer and more precise concerning its political position, and more precise on the subject of military operations.”

“The council believes that the peaceful struggle is our path, while maintaining our right to self-defense, in view of the establishment of a Palestinian state up to the borders of June 4, 1967, alongside the state of Israel on the basis of the vision of (US) President (George W.) Bush and the Arab peace initiative,” he said, reading the draft text.

The FRC, a key Fatah decision-making body, “totally refuses and condemns operations against civilians” and underscores “the necessity of putting an end to the violence on the two sides and of reaching an agreement on a single political language,” he read.

Questioned about reports indicating the disbandment of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, which claimed responsibility for the deadly suicide bombing attack on a Jerusalem bus on February 22, Ahmad said that “all the Fatah members are obliged to respect the movement’s resolutions.”

And I’m almost as sick of seeing people pretend to believe in this Palestinian low-level garbage propaganda.

The Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, a radical armed group which claims affiliation with Fatah but seems to be increasingly acting on its own, has frequently been criticized by political figures within Fatah.

Retch.
