#1 al-Rajoub acknowledged the existence of differences among Fatah members on the issue, but argued that these had not developed into a serious internal division within the secular, nationalist organisation.

He means the sniping in the council chambers is still only verbal. For now.

But the boys have itchy fingers, y'know?

Would he care to define "serious", I wonder?

#4 "Political pluralism and government change via the ballot box is a Fatah article of faith. It is a guarantor of national unity and our national vision, and one that will lead us safely to the establishment of the Palestinian state," he said."

well of course its not a Fatah article of faith.
They were pulling for the USSR, when that was still a real possibility. But theres only one superpower now, and IT wants democracy, and SOME pals are able to read the writing on the wall, post Arafat Mortuum.

I dont look for honesty in international politics - i look for pragmatism, esp when the pragmatism leads my way.
