#2 "Palestinian police in the West Bank are prohibited by the Israeli army from carrying weapons.."
This is funny after the Aqaba accord when GWB went to the region, and the CIA and Tenet were involved in restructuring and training the Security forces.

""The time has come to say enough," said Hafez Barghouti, editor of the Palestinian daily al-Hayat al-Jadeeda. "The homeland is not the property of one person, and the PA is not a private monopoly.
