Jpost Reg Req’d
The Palestinian Authority pays members of al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades up to $50,000 a month, the BBC reported.
surprise meter’s broken again....
Abdel Fattah Hamayel, Minister for Sports & Youth rockthrowing and booming brigade until Mahmoud Abbas resigned as prime minister in September defended the payments, saying, "Originally, some people in these groups had been chosen to work for the security services, so they were getting salaries and still are doing so."
riiiiggghhhtt. See? It’s severance pay.
A Fatah leader told the BBC that "Fatah has two sections: a military wing, led by the military and a political wing, led by politicians. But there is no difference between Fatah and the al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades."
no shit?
Zakaria Zubaydi, al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades leader in Jenin, said that "when Arafat calls for a ceasefire, we will respect his decision and stop."

when he calls for it in Arabic, and means it, which has never happened, and never will
