We noted yesterday that a Fatah terrorist group, the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, was taking credit for shooting many rockets at Israel.
This is being completely ignored in the media and by politicians.
The world is so wedded to the idea that Fatah represent the "good guys" and that they are "peace partners" that these facts must be downplayed, at the risk of revealing the truth: that there is really no difference between Fatah and Hamas.
Here is a video from the Abu Nidal division of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades showing them shooting rockets at Israeli civilians, many of them from clearly urban areas of Gaza:
Now, a second Fatah group has claimed responsibility for firing rockets at Israelis.
The Martyr Abdul-Qader al-Husseini Brigades says it fired two Grad rockets at Ashkelon and four mortars towards the Nir Oz kibbutz.
All of this is proudly reported on Fatah's official Facebook page.
A third Fatah terror group, the Abu Rish Brigades, has not engaged in any rocket fire yet, but they have videos showing themselves shooting mortars last year..
Mahmoud Abbas pretended to dismantle the Fatah terror wings years ago, but he never did - they still display their weapons freely in the West Bank as well as Gaza.
The truth must be told: Fatah and Hamas are two sides of the same coin. They cooperate fully in Gaza; there is no way Fatah terror groups could have smuggled Grad rockets without Hamas' knowledge or assistance. Their stated goals are the same.. They both support terror explicitly.
Yasir Arafat was known for playing the game of pretending to be a peace partner while simultaneously ordering terror attacks. I don't know if Abbas is actively supporting the many terror wings under his control, but he certainly has done nothing to discourage them.
It is way past time for Western media and diplomats to stop this facade of pretending that Abbas is peaceful and has no responsibility for the terror groups that attack Israeli civilians under the name of, and probably with the financial backing of, his own organization.
