Kata'ib Shuhada' Al-Aqsa: what do they do? In Lebanon, `Arafat's slogan "Revolution Until Victory" was mocked as "Revolution Until The End of the Month"
(ثورة حتى آخر الشهر)
The Kata'ib were bitter foes of Abbas when he had his conflict with `Arafat. Today, they pathetically paraded to express support for Abbas. They only confirmed my suspicions that they are loyal to whomever pays them their salaries. Suddenly, when Abbas started to pay their salaries, they became devoted followers, and a private thuggish militia aligned with the gangs of Muhammad Dahlan. And what do they do anyway, I mean aside from performing for the TV cameras?
