Neither a Leopard nor a Fatah Member Change Their Spots

Since Hamas is the new "bad" guys of the Palestinian Authority it is easy to over look just how barbaric Fatah is in their own right. Frankly, it is even more forgivable to be caught up in the media hype concerning Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, and lose sight of the fact that Abbas leads one of the oldest and most brutal terrorist organizations in the modern world.

In truth, the only appreciable difference between the two organizations is that Fatah members are better liars, and Hamas members generally always mean exactly what you thought they just said. Oh yeah, one other difference; Hamas is now in power and Fatah isn’t. But just because the PLO is not officially in charge; does not mean that the terror masters are slacking off in any way, shape or form. This Ynet News Online report makes my point:

Two Palestinians suspected of collaboration with the Israel Defense Forces were killed in a gangland-style execution in Gaza's Balata refugee camp on Tuesday, witnesses said. The two, a married woman and her lover, reportedly admitted to informing the IDF on the movements of a number of senior Fatah officials, who were assassinated by Israel over the last five years of violence. A senior Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades official told Ynet the two admitted they had cooperated with Israel during interrogations which lasted two days.

"We issued a death sentence for the man, Mahmoud Jafala, and shot him dead before everyone, so they understand we are determined to continue investigating, finding, and assassinating everyone involved in passing on information to the enemy and aid in assassinating our heroes," the official said.

Al-Aqsa, Fatah's military wing, said Waida Abu Mustafa admitted to having informed on her husband, an al-Aqsa activist nicknamed Abu Khamis, who was assassinated by Israel. The group said the woman wanted her husband killed in order to live with her lover. In accordance with her family's demand, Waida was killed by her brother. Al-Aqsa gunmen were asked to have her killed by a family member to avoid unwanted Israeli attention over the assassination of an informant, the official said.

Great guys, those compassionate Fatah men, they allowed Waida to be murdered by her family in private - instead of in public by a possibly a stranger! I am overwhelmed, simply overwhelmed, by the sheer generosity of it all. I tell you, these Fatah members bring a whole new world of meaning to the concept of jurisprudence, and the speed in which the transformation from common thugs to barbarians is positively dizzying.
