No they are members of the "PA", formally the PLO who you may remember from such hits as "black september", "bombing the olympics", they have an offshoot killing hundreds of thousands of people in Syria. They recently announced in Arabic that they will keep paying pensions to people who kill Jews, for any reason. If those people died killing Jews, their family members. Oh and in English they denied it [1]. Obviously western press is reporting only ONE of those statements [2]. Remember them? You know, they are generally described as the Palestinian faction who wants peace. Oh, and they're billionnaires (well, the leaders are), which they weren't before getting their government positions.
