Fatah admits murdered Bethlehem ‘collaborators’ were innocent. (Hat tip: Amy.)

Fatah gunmen admitted over the weekend that nine Palestinians who were murdered in Bethlehem on suspicion of collaboration with Israel were actually innocent victims of lawlessness.

The suspected “collaborators” were executed by members of Fatah’s armed wing, Aksa Martyrs Brigades, shortly before the IDF raided Bethlehem in 2002 as part of Operation Defensive Shield.

Some of the suspects were being held by the Palestinian Authority security forces before they were handed over to the gunmen.

How could anyone not want to give these lovely people their own sovereign state?
