Elder of Ziyon
In the middle is Fatah's logo. Yes, the logo of Mahmoud Abbas' political party includes weapons.
The upper left logo is for the Abu Rish Brigades of Fatah.
The lower left logo is that of the Brigades of the Martyr Abdul-Qader al-Husseini.
The upper right is the logo of the Fatah Hawks. They were active before and during the second intifada, collaborating with Hamas on several attacks, but have been mostly quiet since 2005.
The lower right is the logo of the Ayman Memushuda (sp?) Brigades. Here are photos of their "martyrs."
The Nidal Brigades uses the same logo, as does the Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, which may be the umbrella group of these last two.
With the exception of the Fatah Hawks, each of these groups claims to exist today and they have never been asked to put down their guns by Fatah's leaders. They are not pretending to be PA security or police - these are terrorists through and through.
And some of them fired rockets at Israel in the past couple of days.
Yet the media and politicians dance around these easily proven facts, and don't stand up to Abbas for breaking his promise of dismantling these groups.
Abbas, in charge of some 4 or 5 separate terror organizations, is still hailed as the most moderate leader Palestinian Arabs are ever likely to have. That may be true, but he is also in charge of proud terror groups.
