The Phenomenon of Moderate Terrorists

Only the Palestinians have figured out how to be moderate terrorists:


In the West Bank, Israeli troops backed by armored vehicles surrounded a Palestinian security compound in the city of Nablus and killed three gunmen from moderate President Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah faction, medics said.

Those “gunmen” – or, if you prefer the term from a different Reuters report on this incident, “militants” – were of course part of the same group that ambushed an Israeli patrol on Monday. But hey, at least we know they’re on the side of the moderates!
