The following wry comment appeared yesterday regarding Hezbollah's Wonderful Wings (Excellent!) by Douglas Murray
...It does appear that, unbeknownst to the "political wing," while its members were going about their respectable daily business, with absolutely no private army of their own, some of their colleagues were heading around the globe, committing massacres and terrorist attacks. This must be very embarrassing for them.
With little difficulty the same thought could be quite easily applied in the following piece from yesterday's Algemeiner -
In Effort to Embarrass Abbas as Peace Talks Begin, Fatah’s Military Wing Touts Weapons Capabilities Online
Zach Pontz JULY 30, 2013 10:15 AM
In an effort to embarrass Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas as peace talks begin in earnest in Washington on Tuesday, al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, the unofficial terrorist wing of Abbas’s ruling political party, Fatah, released a series of truculent photos depicting an arsenal of guns, rockets and anti-tank missiles, Israel’s Channel 2 reported.
The photos were accompanied by a statement from the terrorist group that said: “Armed struggle is the only way to liberate Palestine, we will continue developing our own weapons to crush the enemy, wherever he is.” (Full article)
One would like to think that this is not all that terribly difficult to figure out but then again, one might not be all that shocked that no one will be raising the issue with Abbas, Kerry or Indyk anytime soon. In terms of complicating matters, its just a bit above their pay-grade.
