“Dayton’s trainees, with the approval and support of IDIOTS AND TRAITORS IN THE IDF are intended to PRETEND TO suppress terrorists who PRETEND TO BE acting outside the control of the PA.”
Abbas will attempt to negotiate the most advantageous deal he can get. Under Bush Abbas expected only about 95% of the West Bank and had agreed (in secret) to ceding the Israeli permanent settlements near Jerusalem beyond the “Green Line”. Obama has destabilized the situation by stoking Arab expectations that he will force Israel back to the 1967 borders.
Abbas, with the Dayton trained troops, has prevented a third intifada against Israel, but how do you explain the reports of an impending intifada by al Aksa against the PA due to Dayton’s trainees actions against them (however sub-optimal they have been to date) if Abbas isn’t making serious efforts against rogue Fatah elements in coordination with the Israelis?
From JPost 12-27-09:
The killing of the three Fatah operatives in Nablus by the IDF over the weekend could trigger a third intifada, Fatah officials warned on Sunday.
But the new intifada, they said, would be different from the first two - this time it would be directed against the Palestinian Authority.
During the funerals of the three men, all veteran members and leaders of Fatah’s armed wing, the Aksa Martyrs Brigades, thousands of Palestinians chanted slogans accusing the PA of collusion with Israel and calling for an end to security coordination with Israel and the dismantling of the PA.
For several hours during the funerals, which took place in Nablus, it seemed as if the PA and not the IDF had killed the three men. It was, in the words of a local journalist, “one of the biggest anti-Palestinian Authority demonstrations” in many years.
In the past, there were a number of cases where Fatah militiamen in the West Bank openly admitted to receiving funds from Hizbullah. The gunmen justified their action by arguing that the PA had failed to “compensate” them for the “sacrifices” they made in the fight against Israel.
The killing of the three men is now being exploited by leading figures in Fatah to incite against the PA leadership in Ramallah. One of the main instigators is Husam Khader, a charismatic and extremely popular Fatah operative from Balata who has long been attacking the PA and its security forces, accusing them of financial and moral corruption and collaboration with Israel.
Khader and another senior Fatah operative, Kadoura Fares of Ramallah, are convinced that continued cooperation with Israel on security matters would eventually turn Palestinians against the PA leadership. The two, along with many of their followers in Fatah, believe that a third intifada is on its way, but that this time it would be directed against the PA and not Israel.
