Hamas? Fatah? Hamas? Fatah?

Cox & Forkum always has absolutely the best political cartoons. I don't like the word cartoons to describe their art because the word evokes thoughts of frivolity. While their art is indeed hilarious it always brings a particular point home, which is usually deadly serious. Case in point is this cartoon about Hamas and Fatah and its not-so-subtle declaration of the stupidity of our government to somehow declare Fatah as being "moderate". There is nothing moderate about Fatah.



Cox & Forkum also says this about Hamas and Fatah.

"Palestinian moderates"? It was Fatah's Abbas who refused to disarm Palestinian militant groups, including Hamas and the "armed wing" of his own party, even after continued terrorist attacks. It was Fatah terrorists who claimed joint responsibility with Hamas for the suicide-bombing mother who murdered four people. Abbas has called Israel the "Zionist enemy". It is Fatah whose name means "conquest" and whose logo still includes an AK-47 and a grenade.

There's so little difference between Hamas and Fatah that you can barely tell them apart: Fatah photo and Hamas photo. The only real difference is that Hamas is more open about its intent to destroy Israel.

Hamas? Fatah? Hamas? Fatah? You decide. Ya think Israel believes Fatah is moderate?
