They might provide us with many laughs for their ridiculous training sessions and graduation ceremonies (featuring classic manoeuvers like the chicken dance, ballroom dance, and firey hoop jumping, and such characters as My Favorite Palestinian Policeman, the Elvis Impersonator, Birdman, Big Hands, Fraidy Cat, and Beaver), but make no mistake about it. The palestinian police are terrorists who kill. Terrorists bolstered by the US and Israeli governments.
Palestinian policemen were behind the shooting attack last week which killed Ido Zoldan, a 29-year-old father of two from the settlement of Shavei Shomron, the IDF and Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) revealed Sunday night.
Zoldan was killed last Monday night – the day before the Annapolis summit began – when shots were fired at his car as he drove past the Palestinian village of al-Punduk.
The three members of the cell were Palestinian policemen and members of the Palestinian National Security Force, in which Israel and the United States have been investing as part of the international effort to strengthen Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and his Fatah government.
Defense officials said the weapon used in the attack had not been supplied to the Palestinians by Israel since it did not belong to the official Palestinian security forces. The officials said, however, that the IDF expected the political echelon to rethink its policy of strengthening Abbas in light of the fact that his policemen were involved in terrorism.
Of course, none of this is a surprise to those of us following the conflict and understanding that our “peace partner” Mahmoud Abbas, is no different to Arafat, Haniyeh, and company. He just has a better wardrobe.
Update: Israel has responded by.. freeing 429 more palestinian prisoners! But of course.
