In an interview with the Bethlehem-based news agency Maan, several Fatah terrorists expressed relief over their removal from Israel’s “wanted” lists in exchange for a promise to cease their terrorist activities.  When asked how they intended to achieve “freedom for Palestine” without terrorism, one explained that according to a Fatah saying, “With the gun we plant, and with the politics we harvest.”

A second terrorist explained that “we have not absolutely abandoned fighting, we just want to give politics a chance.”  The terrorists said that since their pardon, they have been enjoying time with family and attacking and burning Hamas buildings in Shechem.
