thanks ya Asa Winstanley.. as we say, yeslam tommak :) Since its inception in the early 1990s, the Palestinian Authority has been little more than a subcontractor for the Israeli occupation. The most crucial aspect of this role is the so-called “security coordination” between Israel’s occupying military and intelligence forces and the Palestinian Authority’s sprawling and well-armed police and mukhabarat (undercover) forces. In May, Abbas notoriously declared that this relationship with Israel is “sacred” and would continue indefinitely, regardless of any move to accommodate Hamas in any PA unity government. In this way, the PA’s forces maintain an oppressive regime in the West Bank whose main purpose is to violently prevent Palestinian resistance to Israel occupation – including both popular protests and armed resistance. In common with other dictatorships in the Arab world, the PA also persecutes and jails critical journalists. On the diplomatic front, the PA has a long history of obstructing legal moves to hold Israeli accountable on the world stage.
