Moderate Terrorists Welsh on Deal

Remember that amnesty deal Israel offered to the “moderate” terrorists of Fatah, if they turned in their weapons and promised not to kill anybody for three months? The deal that was grotesquely promoted all over the mainstream media with glamour shots of murderers?

Imagine my surprise. Report: Amnesty deal between Israel and Fatah falls through.

Pan-Arab satellite television network Al-Arabiya reported Thursday that the agreement between Fatah militants and Israel promising amnesty to militants who turn in their weapons has fallen through.

According to the report, Israel informed the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, affiliated with Fatah that the amnesty offer is no longer on the table as half of the Fatah militants who signed documents promising to refrain from terrorism failed hand over their weapons.

Don’t expect this news to get anywhere near the same amount of coverage.
