Palestinians in Shooting Spree U.S.-Trained

Posted By P. David Hornik On April 25, 2011 @ 9:18 am In Uncategorized | No Comments

Since 2007 the U.S. has invested (see http://pajamasmedia.com./blog/is-the-u-s-building-the-next-intifada/) hundreds of millions of dollars in training and equipment for Palestinian Authority security forces. Reports ^[2] of rampant torture in the prisons run by these forces, and warnings ^[3] by Israeli military and other figures of the danger posed to Israel, have gone unheeded.

Early Sunday morning the danger grimly materialized. At least one PA policeman opened fire on a group of Israeli worshipers in Nablus in the West Bank, killing one and wounding four, including one seriously....

Document: Interim Agreement - Josephs Tomb to have Israeli guards and free unimpeded access for Israelis

 

Dr. Aaron Lerner - IMRA   24 April 2011  http://www.imra.org.il/story.php3?id=52052

 

(...) Limor Livnat's nephew is being buried today because he wanted to pray at Joseph's Tomb and wasn't willing to wait to see when he would have the chance to be part of the select few chosen for the monthly visit.  That's not what was supposed to be under the agreement.

 A once a month visit for a select few is anything but "free, unimpeded and secure access".  But at the end of the day the agreement was just a piece of paper.

 Just like the next piece of paper....

 For the record here is the last one. (...)
