Partners in Peace™

From the mouth of Israel's Prime Minister, Ehud Olmert:

Presumably, he is talking about Mahmoud Abbas, President of Fatah, as this wonderous Palestinian leader who truly wants peace with Israel. and... Just a little earlier in the day, Fatah's military wing had this to say:

Ah yes, the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, the military arm of Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah Party, designated a terrorist organization by Israel, the U.S., Canada, the European Union, and Japan.

Those are Israel's Partners in Peace™ - the Palestinian moderates who have been killing Jews for over 40 years.
