Mubarak’s regime (and AP?) to help fleeing Fatah loyalists reach West Bank

Fe3lan Zebala! The retarded AP editors still insist on inserting “moderate” whenever they refer to Abu Mazen or Fatah!

Egypt is trying to arrange passage to the West Bank for more than 300 Palestinians from the moderate Fatah group who fled the Hamas takeover in Gaza, Palestinian and Egyptian security officials said Monday.
Egyptians and Palestinians have agreed to “ease the trip back to the West Bank” for some 340 security officials close to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’ moderate Fatah party, said a Palestinian official at the Rafah border crossing between Egypt and Gaza. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.

I have another suggestion, instead of “moderate” why don’t you write the “progressive” Abu Mazen? Or Fatah “which believes in women rights” or any similar lie to make Dahlan’s thugs more polished up in front of the Western readers?

SHAME ON AP! The same game their editors played with Mubarak’s regime in the 1990s (and up till 2004; now they don’t do it as frequently, except when Condi is in town) by insisting to describe Mubarak as a “moderate” while his security was kidnapping demonstrators, and rounding suspects in the thousands together with their families and children, torturing and sexually abusing detainees, and shooting at strikers and student demos.. That did not matter for AP. All what mattered to its editors was how brown-nosed our president was when he dealt with America, and how lovely he was by fighting those tewwowists. Now AP is repeating the same game, and is outright pimping for Abu Mazen… Good job AP! Keep up those fucking “professional” standards baby..

What’s even more hilarious, are those (like the Christian Science Monitor), who like to present the current conflict as one between “Islamist” Hamas and “Secular” Fatah…! First, it is NOT true Fatah is a “secular nationalist” movement anymore unlike what the CSM editors might have learned from Wikipedia or Memri. Ehem, guys, that was in the past… Fatah’s thugs now are as “Islamized” I can assure, moreover the fight in Palestine is not over implementing Shariaa or veiling women, so why the fuck is this Islamist/Secular dichotomy. But hey, if there’s anything we can smear Hamas with, and polish up Abu Mazen, then do it, even if it’s a lie…
