Talk about a sense of entitlement

The Globe and Mail is carrying this report:

Jerusalem — Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah party will only form a coalition government with parties willing to negotiate with Israel and will not ask Hamas militants to join if they do not renounce violence, a top official said Sunday.

I gather Fatah feels that they have earned a right to corner the market on duplicitous violence and outright carnage. Meanwhile jailed leader of Fatah’s Al Aqsa Martyr’s Brigade has this to say from his Israeli prison cell:
However, Fatah's top candidate, jailed Palestinian uprising leader Marwan Barghouti, said Sunday that Fatah and Hamas "are heading toward being partners in the field, and in parliament." Mr. Barghouti, interviewed in an Israeli prison by the Arab satellite TV station Al-Jazeera, did not say what partnership he envisioned.
I guess he didn’t get the memo.
