AP: Fatah are moderates
Ah, relativism, your ability to transform is magical:
The statement came as Abbas' moderate Fatah faction struggles to win agreement from the governing Hamas to recognize Israel in negotiations to form a national unity government.The paragraph notes that the Palestinian group Fatah is moderate. Only in relation to Hamas they would be moderates.
Thanks, AP, I'll update my dictionary.
Or maybe I'll let Fatah's moniker and emblem speak for themselves:
"Fatah" is a reverse acronym of the Arabic, Harekat at-Tahrir al-Wataniyyeh al-Falastiniyyeh. The word "Fatah" means "conquest by means of jihad". [an aside: Fatah backwards means sudden death in Arabic]
Note the grenade and crossed rifles, superimposed on the map of Israel in the emblem. This emphasizes the dedication of Fatah, along with the other "liberation" groups, to the "armed struggle" against Israel, a euphemism for terrorism against civilians.
