I’m confused though. In the Guardian article is this (what you referred to)

The al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, the armed wing of Fatah, the dominant political faction in the West Bank, said it had carried out the “heroic operation … in response to the fascist occupation against our people in the West Bank and Gaza Strip”.

That is Abbas’ army, Arafat’s old army. Is Abbas not the commander in chief of his own army?

This isn’t surprising. Arafat did this ALL time. Talk out of two sides of his face. I’m just saying Abbas may be the better of two evils, but he’s no prize either. (I know you’re aware of that heh)

The bigger questions, why weren’t the Fogel murders, the recent southern bombings and Israel’s awesome Iron Drones on the front page of every freakin paper in the country?
