Elder of Ziyon
The Asifa Army, by the way, takes its name from the first terror group that Yasir Arafat created from Fatah.
At the same time, another Fatah group, the Abu Nidal Brigades, held their own press conference and "victory parade" through the battered Shijaiyah neighborhood together with the DFLP:
The Abu Nidal Brigades claim to have shot 532 rockets and mortars at "the Zionist enemy."
The Abdul Kader Husseini Brigades, yet another Fatah group, claims to have shot 864 rockets and mortars at Israel.
That is over 2000 rockets and mortars being claimed by Fatah!
Fatah, that "moderate" political party, has been enthusiastically bragging about shooting terror rockets at Israeli civilians since the very first day of the war. Yet nobody - not Israel, nor the State Department, nor the EU, nor the "human rights" NGOs, nor the media, nor the "pro-peace" groups like J-Street or Peace Now - nobody wants to condemn them over this.
To spell it out: Mahmoud Abbas, Israel's supposed "peace partner" and the man who "everyone knows" is a moderate and "everyone knows" is the key to making peace, is either complicit in these 2000 war crimes, or he is too powerless to control his own party. It is almost certainly the former. These groups get funding from somewhere, and it isn't Iran or Qatar or Saudi Arabia or Turkey. They are getting their money from institutions headed by Mahmoud Abbas.
Masked terrorists are bragging about committing thousands of war crimes, but since they are Fatah, there are no repercussions for them.
They are the Teflon terrorists.
The world will sometimes deign to criticize Hamas, but to say anything negative about genocidal Fatah terrorists is strictly forbidden. They are moderate, so they can't be terrorists, and if they are proudly parading in their ski masks, the West must close their eyes.
So many people, groups, organizations and nations have so much emotionally invested in portraying Mahmoud Abbas as a shining example of moderate Palestinianism that no one - including Israel itself - is willing to point out that the emperor has no clothes.
