Fatah and Hamas

Let's see: Fatah accepts the existence of Israel, but still preaches hatred and carries on terrorism.
They talk the talk but don't walk the walk, like the Egyptians do, not attack militarily, but attack in every other way.
Fatah wants to kill the Israelis more gradually over time.
Hamas wants to kill them right now.

How can Olmert, the Europeans, the State Department and President Bush not catch on that a terrorist is a terrorist is a terrorist. The previously mentioned dupes seem educated, intelligent and informed on other matters. Why can't they catch on about this?
It is very disappointing and very dangerous.
Who is stealing the money now that Arafat is dead?
