Quick, who is the last group of people you'd expect to have a slick, generally well-translated English-language website? How about the Ezzedeen al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas?
This thing has Flash animation, scrolling text, video, even polls. They may be making their rockets out of sugar and fertilizer, but someone in their IT department's got some HTML skillz.
Why does this strike me as funny? Because you don't expect folks on the US State Department's list of terrorist organizations to have English-language websites...or websites at all, for that matter? (Fatah, not on any government's terrorist watch list, totally fails in the translation department, btw.) Because it reminds you that Palestine, like the rest of the world, lives in the 21st century? Because it's actually a pretty clever propaganda tool?
On a side note, I have no idea if the FBI maintains some kind of counter-terrorism data mining operation, but if they do, I'm pretty sure my recent Googling patterns have raised a red flag in some server farm in northern Virginia or somewhere.
