What they're saying in Arabic

The 'Palestinians' are notorious for telling the West what it wants to hear in English and telling their 'people' what they want to hear in Arabic. Here's senior 'Palestinian' negotiator Nabil Shaath speaking to his people in Arabic. And here's the English translation courtesy of Google.

In response to Hamas's rejection of the choice of resistance and adherence to the popular armed resistance, he said Hamas was divided on this issue, but in a recent visit to Khartoum Of the movement, "Meshaal and Haniyeh's visit," during which they agreed on that, saying that Khaled Meshaal, leader of the movement spoke of the popular struggle in Cairo, Hamas at length and I went to Khartoum to agree on This, he said.

Shaath and warned that the adoption of the Popular Resistance does not mean giving up the fight Armed and as long as the occupation with iron and fire, not by persuasion or by agreement, international law and moral gives the right to armed resistance, but suffice to resist the military and not civilians, pointing out that any use of armed struggle would cost much more to offer from the results, expressing his belief that this decision is that he has got Hamas.

But keep telling yourself that they want peace, Democrats in Congress. And if you repeat it often enough at least you'll convince yourselves.

What could go wrong?
