GAZA CITY [MENL] -- The Palestinian Authority has converted abandoned Jewish communities in the Gaza Strip into training camps for Palestinian security forces and insurgency groups.
Officials said several of the 21 Jewish communities dismantled by Israel in September 2005 have become training grounds for insurgents from the ruling Fatah movement as well as the Islamic opposition. They said training included members of the new "Popular Army" sponsored by Fatah.
In November 2005, PA Interior Minister Nasser Yusef toured the training camps in the former Jewish community of Neve Dekalim. Neve Dekalim was the largest of the Jewish municipalities in the Gaza Strip. In all, about 9,000 Jews had lived in the Gaza Strip until their expulsion by Israel 's military.
The Interior Ministry has drafted a plan for the use of the former Jewish communities, deemed a "closed military zone" by the PA. Officials acknowledged that organized crime as well as insurgency groups have clashed over control of the territory.
Way to go Ariel. Good job.
They gave the PA the rope and will now be shocked when they use it. Liberalism at its finest. Appease. Appease. Appease.
Israel already has the grid coordinates for these sites.
Dumb move for the Palis.

I've comforted myself my claiming that "Great minds think alike."
