Scenes From Some Fatah Rallies

Who said hippies have to be pacifists?

Besides hippies, one can also spot small children having some harmless fun at the rallies (Although someone should tell the adults not to smoke around the kids – it’s dangerous, you know).

Of course, it bears reminding that Fatah is affiliated with our “peace partners” PA President Salam Fayyad, and PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas.

I just don’t understand why Fatah (the Palestinian National Liberation Movement) is marking its 46th anniversary. The so-called “occupation” of the territories captured in the Six Day War – and hence the “settlements” they claim are the obstacle to peace – started 43 years ago.

So I assume it’s a typo.*

*yes, I am being sarcastic
