According to the Jerusalem Post, Fatah troops have begun shaving the beards of members of rival terrorist group Hamas in an attempt to humiliate them.  Former Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat used a similar technique several years ago.  Fatah officials described the technique as effective, saying it really embarrasses the Hamas men.



Members of Hamas claim that at least 20 Hamas terrorists had their beards forcibly shaved.  One of them said that afterwards he was so shocked that I couldnt sleep all night.
