‘PEACE PARTNER’ FATAH WELCOMES JERUSALEM BUS ATTACK:

Fatah, the faction headed by Palestinian Authority (PA) chairman Mahmoud Abbas, welcomed Monday’s 18 April, 2016 bomb attack on a bus in Jerusalem, in which 21 people were wounded. The Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, which is Fatah’s so-called "military wing”, praised the attack and said its perpetrators "responded to our calls to carry out suicide attacks.” Earlier, both Hamas and the Islamic Jihad welcomed the Jerusalem attack, with Hamas calling it "the natural response to [so called] Israeli crimes, particularly the field executions [self-defense measures] it conducts, and the [erroneous] assaults on the Al-Aqsa Mosque." Islamic Jihad also justified the attack, saying that it "delivered the message that the Intifada would continue." Earlier on Monday, PM Netanyahu responded to the bus bombing by pledging to find those responsible and settle the score. "We will find whoever made the bomb, we'll get to the terrorists who delivered it, we'll get to the people standing behind this attack and we'll settle the score with these terrorists." (INN)
