From the Oh-pu-leeze department:
Palestinian election officials have given voting rights to a jailed militant accused of ordering the killing of an Israeli minister, in a move Israel called a sign that Palestinian democracy was badly flawed. *
And here is another sign:
Gunmen belonging to the Aksa Martyrs Brigades, the armed wing of Fatah, Monday shot and killed two Palestinians suspected of collaboration with Israel.
Let’s face it. With Yasser Afatrat pulling the strings, “Palestinian democracy” is an oxymoron.
* Ironically, this “militant” is in jail because he murdered Rehavam Zeevi, an elected minister of Israel, and thus a symbol of democracy.
