Once more, the palestinians are attaching conditions to stopping terror that do not even consider the fact that murdering civilians is a bad thing.
The Palestinian Authority will take all necessary steps to fight terror in Gaza provided Israel withdraws completely and gives hope there will be negotiations over a Palestinian state and more pullbacks from the West Bank, Palestinian National Security Adviser Jibril Rajoub told The Jerusalem Post.
I can’t remember why Rajoub’s name is hitting my memory chords, but I’m betting it has to do with terrorism. Here’s more of his asininity:
He rejected the notion that it was now up to the PA to take steps against its extremists after Israel leaves. “The Israeli withdrawal is positive, but should not be praised and rewarded; after all, Israel did what it is supposed to do according to international legitimacy – end the occupation of Gaza,” he said.
And the terrorists are supposed to do what they’re supposed to do according to “international legitimacy”—stop terrorism against Israelis.
I’m sorry, did I type that out loud? I should know better than to expect terrorists to understand what exactly the cessation of terror entails.

The most recent post held by Jibril Rajoub was national security advisor to the late Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat . Previously, he headed the Palestinian Preventative Security Service in the West Bank.
Rajoub was born Dura, in the West Bank, in 1953. He spent 17 years in an Israeli jail after attacking an IDF convoy, and speaks fluent Hebrew.
Rajoub was released from prison in 1985 and expelled to Lebanon in 1988. He later moved to Tunis and subsequently became one of Arafat’s most trusted lieutenants. His relationship with Arafat, however, was marked by ups and downs over the years.

Never heard of Jabril Rajoub? Come to think of it, I don’t know much, except that calling this man “evil” may be an understatement, but since that applies to so many of them, it’s hardly a distinguishing characteristic.
Let’s see what I can find to supplement what Sabba Hillel says:
