Israel is transferring hundreds of millions of dollars to support Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah "government" after Hamas seized control of Gaza as Israel’s reward for its withdrawal there.
The June 24 New York Times quotes a Fatah legislator as saying Abbas "has no clear plan" for creating order within Fatah or for confronting Hamas. "We’ll only be able to command the respect of the people if we succeed in getting rid of the armed thugs," said the legislator, a former Al Aksa Martyrs Brigades chief.
Times reporter Isabel Kershner observes, "There seems little immediate chance of a Hamas rout in the West Bank like there was in Gaza, but that is at least partly because, unlike Gaza, the West Bank remains under Israeli military occupation. Most of the prominent Hamas legislators and politicians from the West Bank are in Israeli jails, and the rest are lying low."
The Israeli government is criminally corrupt and dangerously insane for aiding the Palestinian regime. Israel will reap the whirlwind from Gaza and the "West Bank," as well as from Lebanon, for 40 years of failure to expand its borders to fulfill its only valid territorial mandate, which comes directly from God in his Torah.
