I can't wait to see what Fatah will accomplish with my tax dollars

Geeze, it’s a good thing Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas convinced Fatah’s Al-Asqa’s Martyr’s Brigades to disarm. Ynet News carries this report of a shoot-out at a West Bank University:
Palestinian sources in Nablus reported Tuesday that one Hamas operative was critically injured, and nine others were lightly to moderately wounded, by Fatah gunfire near an-Najah University in Nablus. The clashes began after Hamas-affiliated students put up anti-Fatah fliers slamming the recent arrests of Hamas operatives in the city.

In response, dozens of Shabiba members – the Fatah youth movement on campus – started rioting. University security personnel quickly arrived on the scene, firing warning shots in the air. At that time, dozens of al-Aqsa gunmen (Fatah's military wing) stormed the campus and opened fire on Hamas members. Fatah members in Nablus told Ynet that the act was a clear provocation by Hamas, who had been warned by the university to stop distributing inciteful materials. Following the altercation, the university suspended all classes and asked the students to leave the grounds and return to their homes.
Odd how I keep forgetting Fatah are the good terrorists. I wonder how many times you have to say it before its true

Your tax dollars, Kate?
I think they've earmarked those for mortar attacks. Mine are set aside for rocket launchers.
There was a box to check on the year-end tax form...
