Threat of mutiny in PA security forces
MAARIV: Threat of mutiny in PA security forces The growing dissatisfaction within the Palestinian population over the rampant corruption and incompetence of the PA has infiltrated its security services, some of which have begun to mutiny. (Hamas and Islamic Jihad, both terror groups, are unchecked de facto powers in Gaza.) Posted by Laurence Simon at June 3, 2004 09:51 AM | TrackBackComments
I posted something yesterday predicting this (sorta) at some point the Palestinians have to wake up to the fact that they are being held as chattel by Arafat & co.
Posted by: skip at June 3, 2004 10:02 AM I wouldnt want to see Arafat made a martyr, so assasination is out of the question. Israel apparantly thinks along the same lines, as its been well within their abillity to kill him for a very long time.

Posted by: Ronin at June 3, 2004 12:38 PM The only way there will ever be any chance of meaningful change for the Palestinians is if they kill Arafat themselves. Posted by: TL at June 3, 2004 07:29 PM They should kill Arafat themselves. They should string him up just like the Italians did with Mussolini.
Posted by: marymcl at June 3, 2004 11:00 PM Well, Mussolini was killed by the Italian Communists. It is unclear if the majority of the Italians wanted him dead.
