B"H
We know why they blamed Hamas--the "bad cop" in the arab negotiations. The truth is there is no difference between Hamas and Fatah. They are one in the same.
It was a strike of genius, really, for the arabs to divide themselves this way, staging skirmishes where the pawns were sacrificed to make the split look real. Then Fatah, polishing an apple as the US's new "pet" terrorist organization, started to negotiate, saying they needed large numbers of arms, training, and support for their "police force" in order to defeat the "terrible" Hamas.
Strange that when Fatah was "forced out," Hamas got all the weapons and armored carriers that Fatah "left behind" in Gaza. Oh, and that Fatah continued to pay the soldiers in Hamas--due to an "accounting error"--and then continued to pay them after the "accounting error" was discovered.
Now Fatah is getting the advanced training and weapons they wanted, and they are getting huge areas of the "West Bank" to "Patrol" for their police forces.
Meanwhile, they are planning terrorist activities together, and the US, EU, and Israeli government are accessories after the fact when they pretend that Fatah had nothing to do with the terrorism.
"Hamas must take full responsibility for the attack," Israel said yesterday. Why? Because they don't want to admit that Fatah was part of it.
The spin to the end is on. I hope people wake up before it is too late!

JERUSALEM – The military wing of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah party today carried out a terrorist attack along with Hamas-linked gunmen who infiltrated Israel from the Gaza Strip and shot dead two Jewish civilians.
The Israeli media largely painted Hamas as responsible for the attack even though Fatah and other groups took responsibility. The Israeli government blamed Hamas as well and vowed retaliation.
The U.S. considers Fatah to be moderate. Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's government has been holding regular negotiations with Abbas' officials in line with last November's U.S.-backed Annapolis Summit, which seeks to create a Fatah-led Palestinian state by the end of the year.
"We see in Hamas a complete and central figure in this attack, and we put direct blame on them," said Israeli government spokesman Mark Regev of today's attack. "Hamas will pay the full price on this aggressiveness."
In the attack, at least four Palestinian terrorists infiltrated from the Gaza Strip into a border area right next to the Nahal Oz Jewish community located just outside the Strip. The Nahal Oz area contains a major fuel depot used in part to transport fuel into Gaza. The depot supplies Gaza with nearly all the territory's fuel.
The Israel Defense Forces maintains posts and a sizable outdoor base near the fuel depot.
The infiltrating terrorists shot at Israeli civilians working at the fuel depot, killing two and wounding two others. Arriving at the scene, the IDF shot back and killed one of the terrorists and arrested another while the other infiltrators escaped back into the Gaza Strip.
The entire attack took place under a heavy cloud of mortar fire being launched from Gaza by militants based there. At least 30 mortars were fired at the Israeli border area during the terrorist operation, IDF sources said.
Today's raid seemed well-planned and was carried out in a manner similar to a terrorist raid two years ago in which Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit was kidnapped. IDF officials said they believe today's attack was a botched attempt to kidnap Israeli soldiers stationed at Nahal Oz.
The Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, Fatah's declared military wing, took responsibility for the raid along with the Islamic Jihad terrorist group and the Popular Resistance Committees, a Hamas-allied organization.
According to senior sources in Fatah's Brigades speaking to WND, two of the terrorists who infiltrated into Israel were Brigades members. The sources said one of the Brigades gunmen was killed by the IDF while the other escaped back into Gaza.
Also, the Brigades sources said their terrorist organization worked with the Popular Resistance Committees to shoot the mortars into Israel during the raid.
There is a general media tendency to distance Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades members working in the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip from the Fatah leadership in the West Bank. But the cell of the Brigades involved in today's attack, directed by Brigades leaders in the northern Gaza Strip, coordinates directly with Fatah and with the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades in the northern West Bank, according to Brigades sources.
The Israeli media largely reported Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Hamas-linked groups carrying out today's attack. Haaretz allowed that "a group linked to the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades" was involved.
A spokesman for the Popular Resistance Committees said Hamas was not involved. He said members of three groups – Islamic Jihad, the Committees and Fatah's Brigades – infiltrated the crossing.
Meanwhile, Israel blamed Hamas for the attack.
Regev said Hamas is "responsible and will be held accountable."
Multiple Knesset members immediately called for Israel to halt all shipments of fuel to the Gaza Strip.
National Union-National Religious Party Chairman Uri Ariel said that "once again Israeli citizens pay with their lives and their blood – because of the easing of restrictions for the 'well-being' of the Palestinians."
"Fuel is being shipped to the PA through the border crossing at Nahal Oz which is used to launch Kassam rockets and instead of blocking the Gaza Strip – which would stifle terror – the government continues to fuel it," he said.
Knesset Member Avigdor Lieberman stated, "The murderous terror attack could have been prevented if the government would halt the supply of fuel and electricity to the Gaza Strip."
