As Fatah Breaks Amnesty Deal the US Pressures Israel

It took longer than I thought. Olmert freed the terrorists that were held in prison and granted amnesty to others on the empty promises of head Fatah terrorist Abbas that they would all be good little boys. Israeli PM Olmert plays the fool once again.

"Fatah Claims Shooting Attack, Terrorists Break Amnesty Deal" by Ezra HaLevi for INN:

(IsraelNN.com) The Fatah terrorist group claimed responsibility for a shooting attack in Ramallah on IDF soldiers Thursday morning following a declaration that a deal made with the Olmert government is over.

The Fatah-affiliated Al-Aksa Brigades, 178 of whose members were awarded amnesty by the Olmert government, announced Wednesday that it was backing out of its commitment to refrain from attacks. Under the deal, wanted terrorists were taken off the IDF’s wanted list on the condition that they handed in their weapons and join Fatah’s PA security forces.

A shooting attack in the village of Sinjil, near Ramallah, was also claimed by the Al-Aksa Brigades. "Our warriors were engaged in an armed battle with the soldiers in the Israeli military patrol and we managed to inflict direct casualties among the soldiers and our men returned to their bases safely," the group faxed Arabic news agencies.

The Al-Aksa terror group said that it backed out of the deal due to the IDF’s arrest of two terrorists who were supposed to be on the amnesty list.
The IDF caught the two men at a checkpoint and said they were involved in terrorist activity, mandating their arrest according to the stipulations of the amnesty deal.

The jihadists break the terms of the generous deal they were given and then blame the Israelis for counteractions. Muslim diplomacy at its finest.

Despite this recent development, the US is looking for more Israeli appeasement.

Senior US security officials involved in training Fatah men reportedly in order to battle Hamas are insisting that Israel continue to grant amnesty to the Al-Aksa terrorists despite the recent declarations and attacks.

The US team, headed by Keith Dayton, is reportedly seeking to add other Al-Aksa terrorists to the list of those granted amnesty.

The US continues to play the role of Kervorkian in aiding and abetting the Israeli suicide. Abbas has found the US to be a more than willing partner in his jihad against the Jews.
