PA: “Don’t Worry About Murders, It was Only Jew-Hatred”
';From Ma’an:
Hebron security commander Samih As-Sayfi said on Sunday that Friday’s killing of two Israeli soldiers in the West Bank was a criminal offense, not an act of political violence in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
Earlier, the military wings of Hamas, Fatah, and Islamic Jihad all claimed responsibility for the attack.
And since robbery wasn’t the motive, it must have only been old-fashioned anti-semitism. You know, the usual Jew target-practice. Anyone can understand that motive.
The commander said that statements by Hamas’ Al-Qassam Brigades, Fatah’s Al-Aqsa Brigades, and Islamic Jihad’s Al-Quds Brigades were attempts to curry favor with the Palestinian public and confuse the security services.
See? Just because the Palestinian Arab public overwhelmingly supports killing random Jews on a hike doesn’t mean it is, Allah-forbid, anything to worry about!
Who would ever think that general violence against Jews was political?

Even more bizarre:
PA police chief: Shooting attack was result of business dispute.
If true (that’s a big IF) the moral of the story is “don’t do business with Arabs”.

It’s not true. These pathological liars are in the midst of getting the fruits of appeasement and are afraid of the repercussions of Fatah members being caught pereptrating Jew butchering.
As if the world gives a damn anyway.

Trying to curry favour, by randomly shooting Israelis! Good lord.
