Last week during its 6th Conference,Fatah, the terrorist group considered "moderate" by the US showed its true colors, not that you would ever know about it by reading the mainstream media.

Under the tutelage of President Abbas, the party created by Yassar Arafat has it both ways, sometimes it tries to maintain a public shroud of "moderation," and at other times refuses to sit at the negotiation table and calls for "armed struggle."

Since Bibi Netanyahu Made his speech offering to sit down and have talks with the Palestinians with no preconditions, there has been no movement toward talks. You see, the Palestinians refuse to talk unless Israel agrees to give them everything they want before negotiations. .

It gets worse. Just days before its conference last week, a Senior Member of Fatah, the supposedly moderate party run by Palestinian Authority President Abbas, denied that the party has or ever will recognize Israel. The senior Fatah member Rafik Natsheh, a good friend of President Abbas, also said that the party will NEVER recognize Israel or give up terrorism.

It was the perfect precursor to the conference, it was not at all about moderation, but it was about continuing Fatah's strategy of violence. And the calls for violence were all white-washed by the Media:
