The Abu Nidal Brigades of Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah movement are taking credit for shooting two rockets at Kerem Shalom – the crossing where Gazans get their food and fuel – as well as rockets toward Ashdod.

All of these occurred well after Israel accepted a cease-fire.

Why can’t a single reporter ask Mahmoud Abbas or Saeb Erekat about why the supposedly peaceful faction that Abbas leads is shooting rockets?

Why can’t a single Western politician publicly call for Abbas to dismantle the terror groups that he leads?

Either Abbas supports terror rockets or he has no control over his own factions. Either way, this is important news that is being hushed up.

The communique also uses religious language and Koranic quotes to justify their targeting Jewish civilians. But we are always told they are secular, so we’ll ignore that too.
