Leopards spots don’t change

I bet you won’t see this reported in the Toronto Star. A Fatah commander claims there will be no ceasefire reports Ynet News:
A top commander of Fatah's military wing took responsibility on Thursday for a bomb attack against Israeli soldiers in Jenin, vowing to carry out similar attacks against the Israeli army in the near future.

Zakariya Zubeidi, a commander in Fatah's al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades who is wanted by Israel for a series of terror attacks, said his group would not heed calls by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to halt attacks against the Israeli army. "There will be no calm between our group and the IDF even if Abu Mazen declares so," said Zubeidi, using Abbas's nom de guerre.

In Thursday's attack, gunmen detonated a bomb under a passing military vehicle and opened fire at Israeli soldiers. No one was injured in the attack. "There is no room to speak about a ceasefire. We will continue to fight the occupation and to fight the IDF as long as they enter our cities," Zubeidi said.

Not much wiggle room there.

Nope. Especially when you realize they include Jerusalem, Haifa, and Acco as "their cities."
