Let’s give Abbas some money, logistical training, and cutting edge armor. Because he and his Fatah terrorists are oh so moderate:
The statement urged the Palestinian resistance fighters “to hit the Zionist enemy, intensify martyrdom operations and burn [the Israeli towns of] Ashkelon and Sderot.”
In fairness, there are definitely Fatah forces on both sides. Some militia leaders in the field are calling upon their troops not to force Israel to come into Gaza and clean out that rat’s nest, while others are trusting in Allah (and Iran) to supply them with the material to kill Israeli soldiers and civilians. But that’s kind of our point too: it seems like a good idea not to supply Fatah until we know for sure which of Abbas’s forces can be trusted and which are likely to take their US-produced armor into the field against the IDF.
Of course, if the Palestinians were really concerned about freeing their prisoners they’d be going after Egypt. It almost seems like prisoners… and occupation… and root causes are just pretexts for murdering Israelis. (Summer Storm story via Weasel Zippers)
