'Palestinian' terrorists released this morning to visit Arafat's grave

255 'Palestinian' terrorists are being released this morning from prison. They are being bussed to Beitunya which is less than ten minutes from my house for their release. From there they will be bussed to Ramallah where they will be greeted by 'moderate' 'Palestinian' President Mahmoud Abbas Abu Mazen and they will lay wreaths at Arafat's grave.

Prime Minister Ehud K. Olmert is rehabilitating Arafat into a 'man of peace' too....

And for those of you who believed the fraud that only Fatah members were being freed, here's a surprise: The 255 terrorists (one actually refused release because he gets free arthritis drugs in Israeli prison) include 30 from Hamas and two from Islamic Jihad:

Ziad Abu Ayn, director of prisoner affairs in the Palestinian Authority said Friday that among the 255 prisoners released are 30 members of Hamas and two members of the Islamic Jihad.

The Palestinian Authority, he told Ynet, does not distinguish between prisoners: "they are all our prisoners, all our sons." The PA, he added, is proud of the fact that prisoners affiliated with Hamas and Jihad are among the released.

Ayn's words are the first official statement made regarding the prisoners' affiliations. So far, the majority of prisoners were believed to be of Fatah, with about 15 percents of them of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and the Democtaric Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP).

Someone please remind me again why the US and Israel are giving all that money and all those arms to Abu Mazen on condition that he's not reconciling with Hamas?

Excuse me while I go puke.
