The PFLP? I thought they disbanded a few years ago. Weird. That said I hope Israel will act with restraint (yeah right) but certain Palestinian groups aren't doing themselves any favors with the victim blaming. Anyways, the balls in Israel's court to not retaliate.
Edit:
...and it looks like they demolished the perpetrators homes, way to gently caress it up Israel.

So what's the anti-israeli side's take on killing rabbis in synagogues with meat cleavers?
Just a wild guess but it might be a bad thing.

Hell of a time to have such a PR blunder.
http://www.cnn.com/2015/01/02/world/meast/mideast-fatah-skulls-facebook/index.html?hpt=hp_t4
quote:The political party of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas posted a drawn image online showing a large pile of skulls and skeletons with Jewish stars on them.
An Israeli government spokesman called it "despicable."
Along with the image, posted Wednesday to the Facebook page of the Fatah party, are the words "lingering on your skulls."
When contacted by CNN on Friday, a member of the Fatah Central Committee disavowed the image.
"Fatah did not design this image," Mahmoud al-Aloul said. The person who posted it to Fatah's page "is currently being asked to remove it. The image and the text do not reflect the opinions of Fatah." The image was then pulled from the page.
The image, which also includes a rifle and the Fatah flag, quickly drew the ire of some people who saw it on social media. Some, including Ofir Gendelman, spokesman for Israel's Prime Minister, pointed to it as a sign that Fatah is not as "moderate" as it's often described.
Fatah is considered the more moderate of the two major Palestinian political parties. Hamas, which controls Gaza, has engaged in repeated battles with Israel in recent years. Fatah controls the West Bank.
("Fatah may not be moderate, but relative to Hamas, it is restrained," Michael Rubin of the American Enterprise Institute said in congressional testimony in 2013.)
The image was posted as part of an online celebration of Fatah's 50th anniversary. The group was founded on January 1, 1965, carrying out its first major attack against Israel.
Ehud Yaari of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy called the latest image "typical of their ongoing propaganda."
It's not the first time Fatah Facebook images have sparked anger. After three Israeli teens were kidnapped and killed last year, "The Facebook page for Fatah, the Palestinian Authority's main party, had a number of cartoons, including one showing the three teenagers as Jewish rats, wearing yarmulkes, caught on a fishing line," world affairs columnist Frida Ghitis wrote on CNN.com.
Way to give more ammunition to the Israeli right.

quote:Group of 5,000 Jewish volunteers in British army who served during World War II won't be allowed to march in annual Italian parade in protest of Israeli occupation.
An Italian organization made up of concentration camp survivors said it will not attend the country’s annual Liberation Day parade because a Jewish group was banned.
ANED, the national association of former Italian political deportees from Nazi concentration camps, said Monday it will not attend the April 25 march because of the ban on the Jewish Brigade, a past parade participant. The Jewish Brigade was a group of 5,000 Jewish volunteers in the British army who served in Europe during World War II.
Liberation Day marks the anniversary of the end of World War II and the Nazi occupation of Italy.
In 2014, a group of pro-Palestinian supporters verbally attacked Jewish Brigade marchers and tried to assault them physically. This year, the Palestinian groups, Fronte Palestina, Rete Romana Palestina, and Rappresentanza Palestina, are among the organizers of the parade.
The Palestinian groups are presenting Palestine as an occupied country to free, like Europe in the 1940s, and the Jewish Brigade as the occupying power Israel.
In saying it would not join the parade, ANED denounced the hostility among the organizers of the parade, which is being coordinated by the Italian Partisans National Association, toward the Jewish Brigade.
“Representing former Nazi camp deportees, both political and racial, we cannot accept that the spirit of this celebration is distorted and that people who took part in the partisan struggle and Liberation of Italy are banned exclusively due to intolerance,” ANED wrote in a statement.
In an open letter, the Jewish Community of Rome called on parade organizers to restore the real meaning of the Liberation Day celebration.
Edit: Got angry and misdirected blame.

Yes, you've really gotten to the nub of things here and figured out who's really to blame.
I included them under "Everyone involved". There's no excuse to attack the Jewish Brigade.

When your gut reaction to anti-semitism is 'gently caress israel,' you may need to take a step back and end your statement at 'gently caress anti-semites.' Stop. No more need be said.
Actually, after taking a deep breath, I can't believe it but I agree with you on something. That is antisemitism, pure and simple.
