The announcement that the Hamas-led Palestinian Authority would be using the eternally-broke PA coffers to arm and organize terrorists into police and security squads should be no surprise at this point:
The new Palestinian interior minister named a renowned militant as his top aide on Thursday and announced the formation of a new security branch to be composed of militants.
The moves were part of an ongoing power struggle between the new Hamas-led Cabinet and moderate Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
Interior Minister Said Siyam issued a decree appointing Jamal Abu Samhadana, the head of the Popular Resistance Committees, as director general of the Interior Ministry. Samhadana’s group is responsible for many of the homemade rockets launched at Israel in recent weeks.
Based on previous cases of terrorists moonlighting as no-show cops for the easy EU and US funded paycheck and cops carrying their CIA-supplied weapons with them on their midnight sniping rampages on settlements and border highways, this move merely formalizes the longstanding fact in the “Occupied Territories” that the roles of “terrorist group” and “security force” are interchangeable.
At least Hamas is being honest about their intentions, as opposed to Arafat’s gun and plastic olive branch approach with Fateh and its various well-funded spinoff groups.
