Israel-Palestine
PA using weapons for criminal activity
2005-03-20
Can someone go fetch Fred's pills? He's looking a little bit faint, here.
"Palestinian Authority security officials are using their weapons for criminal activities, including murders and killings, with the aim of scoring personal gains and accumulating fortunes. Some use their weapons to collect debts, serving as judges and enforcers of verdicts that were issued without trial.

"What's strange is that those who take the law into their hands are individuals or groups belonging to the PA executive branch. They have become saboteurs of the entire Palestinian society and epidemics that harm its fabric and weaken it."

This text was not taken from a booklet published by the Foreign Ministry or the IDF. Nor were these serious allegations made by a hard-line Likud minister or a Knesset member from one of the right-wing parties. Rather, they were made by Dr. Abdel Rahman Bsaisso, a renowned Palestinian researcher from the Gaza Strip affiliated with the ruling Fatah faction headed by PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas.

Any specific reason why we're being told something that we already know?

You mean criminal activities other than their standard murdering of Israelis?

Wow. Hooda thunk it?
