"Terrorists in Uniform:" The PA police moonlight as terrorists

During the Oslo process in the 1990s, the US trained the Palestinian Authority police to help them build a state.

An acquaintance says that they used to bring retired American officers to Israel and they would meet with the PA police. One general said to my friend after the meeting, "These are NOT police. These are soldiers pretending to be police. Watch out."

As we saw during the second intifada, he was right. The PA police would use their American equipment for terror.

Palestinian Media Watch issued a report this week, "Terrorists in Uniform," that is a must-read on how PA security forces are moonlighting as terrorists, just as Hamas police are also terrorists. Last week, the two terrorists attacked and murdered 22-year-old Shalev Zevuloni were found to be PA police.

The PMW report gives example after example of how the PA Security Forces themselves brag about these terrorists employed by them:

The PASF spokesman praising the PASF forces specifically because they are fighting Israel, filling the Israeli prisons, and achieving Martyrdom.

A PASF terrorist was released after 18 years in prison and was immediately welcomed back to his unit as a hero.

The head of PASF, Maj. Gen. Majed Faraj, gave special cash grants to the families of PASF officers in prison for terrorism

Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah explained that a terror attack in which an Israeli was killed was "high-quality" specifically because it was "carried out by… one of the Palestinian Security Forces officers."

Israel killed a PASF officer who was "one of the central terror leaders in Judea and Samaria."

Fatah praised the PASF terrorists: "By day security Forces, and by night self-sacrificing fighters."

The PA is no less supportive of terror than Hamas, and their police - which are the linchpin for any potential takeover of Gaza - are part of the problem, not the solution.
