Surely, it can’t be very long before Hamas brings itself down. It has no goals, it has no political positions, it has no agenda. It is like a rabid dog, except for the fact that it attacks only Jews. Like a rabid dog, it has no reasons. It simply recognizes a Jew and leaps for the throat. Therefore, if you are a praying person, root for the triumph of Fatah.

Scores of Fatah militants in the West Bank have signed a pledge renouncing attacks against Israel in return for an Israeli promise to stop pursuing them, a Palestinian security official said Sunday. The deal would grant amnesty to 178 Fatah gunmen who will join the official Palestinian security forces, and Israel will remove them from its lists of wanted militants, the official said. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to divulge details of the agreement.

An official in Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’s office confirmed the deal would extend to wanted militants who openly renounce terrorism, and was part of a series of measures to bolster Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.

Olmert will meet Abbas on Monday, Olmert’s office said, in the first meeting between the two leaders since a June 25 summit that followed the Hamas victory in Gaza. At the meeting, Olmert is expected to present a list of 250 Fatah prisoners Israel will release. And in another gesture of support, Israel agreed to Abbas’ request to allow Nayef Hawatmeh, an exiled Palestinian militant leader, to enter the West Bank this week for a meeting of a top Palestine Liberation Organization policy-making body, a step that Abbas hopes will provide him added legitimacy among Palestinians.

[S.G. Moronically, Abu Obeida, a Hamas spokesman in the Gaza Strip, slammed Fatah for the amnesty agreement, saying it was meant "to destroy the spirit of the resistance". Of course, you nitwit, but since your resistance has no point beyond itself, it is good that it should be destroyed.]
