The charters of both Hamas and Fatah openly call for the destruction of Israel.
Now the fact that the USA designates only the Hamas as a terror group and not the Fatah, is really due to political expediency. They had hoped to ?kosher the pig? by putting a stamp of kashrus upon Arafat. But it backfired; Arafat took advantage of his ?seal of kashrus? to take money from the Western Nations to build his personal terror organization. But the Fatah is no less a terror group than Hamas, they just learned how to lie better than the Hamas. Most people, both Israelis and non-Israelis were duped by this ?legal recognition? accorded to Arafat to think that he would make peace with Israel. Arafat played to the Israeli dream of living in peace with their Arab neighbors. But Arafat and his Fatah gave them no peace. How close is Fatah to Hamas ? http://xrl.us/bju8k |
