Gaza residents from the southern city of Rafah hit the streets Saturday to celebrate the terror attack in the West Bank settlement of Itamar where five family members were murdered in their sleep, including three children.
Residents handed out candy and sweets, one resident saying the joy "is a natural response to the harm settlers inflict on the Palestinian residents in the West Bank."
Meanwhile, Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad said he "clearly and firmly denounces the terror attack, just as I have denounced crimes against Palestinians."
According to an unverified report, Fatah's military wing – the al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades – claimed responsibility for the attack. A group spokesman told a Palestinian news agency that a terror cell infiltrated the settlement of Itamar and committed the attack.
The spokesperson stressed that the attack "came as a response to Israel's continued hostile policy toward the Palestinian people."

If you talk to any Arab you’ll find that after the Israelis the people that are hated the most are the Palestinians. They are regarded about the same way that Europeans used to look at the Gypsies (and still do). They use the Palestinians as a stick to beat the Israelis with and a PR tool. There is no way that any arab country would allow the Palestinians permanent and equal status. If they had any sense they’d bury the hatchet with Israel and join with them because sure as shooting, if the Israelis are ever driven out the Palestinians would be next on the list.
