re: #266 lawhawk

Little of that is new. Much of it was suspected all along. Indeed, it can almost read like a Hamas presser - Hamas has repeatedly claimed that the PA and Fatah were little more than puppets for Israel and any kind of security arrangements between Fatah and Israel subverted Palestinian freedom and goals of destroying Israel (to say nothing of Hamas’ gaining power).

Israel has been working with the PA in the West Bank - to keep Hamas from gaining a foothold there. Some of that has been covert, but it’s largely under the framework of Oslo, even as the PA continues its propaganda against Israel.

As your typical left wing idiot about Israel/Palestinian relations….All I initially see is YAY there is cooperation.

Naive, probably.
