The dynamic between the two groups is interesting. Fatah's original goal was admirable, but it was almost from the beginning mired with collaborators. Habash's reasoning and the creation of the PFLP were admirable, but in 1999, the PFLP, too, recognized Israel. After that, we can't really tell the difference between the PFLP and Fatah, because both of them, as well as groups like the Al-Aqsa Martyrs and the DFLP, are fighting for the same thing. That's what led to the PLO falling apart. It's a sad, sad story.
Why is there no major Palestinian party remaining that fights for the admirable goal that was supposed to be the goal so long ago?
