Fatah Outraged at al-Arabiyah Television

The Palestinians continue their relentless march toward anarchy and possibly the loss of financial support fro the west. In the case of the latter one can't under estimate the tendency of western countries to throw good money after bad nor the eagerness the UN has to finance repressive regimes.

Leaflets distributed by Fatah's armed wing, the Aksa Martyrs Brigades, demanded that the Dubai-based station apologize to the families in particular and the Palestinians in general within 24 hours or else its offices would be closed.

"This film depicts female suicide bombers as a group of women suffering from psychological problems and who are under pressure from males. It claims that in order to rid themselves of these problems, these women are prepared to kill themselves. They also claimed that these women were ill- behaved."

The Aksa Martyrs Brigades strongly condemned the documentary and demanded an investigation to find out who had financed it and who was behind it. "If Al-Arabiya does not apologize within 24 hours, we will have to close down their offices in the West Bank and Gaza Strip," the group warned.

Everybody's a critic. I hate to see what they'll do when they see the first reruns of Survivor.
