I cannot believe this story... This exemplifies the insanity which the current leaders in Israel are suffering from. What to do to prevent violence in September when the arabs have threatened violent uprisings while they attempt to UNILATERALLY declare a terrorist arab state in the center of the Jewish state? What do you do to protect innocent Jewish lives? Well the IDF is going to give weapons to the arabs in the hopes that it will prevent the outbreak of new violence...
YOU READ ME RIGHT... The IDF is preparing to give the enemy a bunch of new and shiny weapons which the arabs claim are going to be used by the PA security apparatus {which has already proven its track record by shooting an innocent Jew who was praying at Josephs Tomb} to prevent riots... But we all know that these slimy lying arabs will use any weapons given to them to order to kill Jews.
This is the definition of insanity. I just hope that someone with a few brain-cells left still hold some position in the so-called Israeli Defense Force because from my vantage point it seems Israel is throwing in the towel at this time...
Hashem help us!
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/146870#.TkrNvSy6SL8IDF Solution for September Violence: Give the PA More GunsThe IDF has formulated a response to potential violence after the PA statehood bid in September: give them more guns.
Gavriel QueenannHow will the IDF confront a likely outbreak of violence by local Arabs after the PA statehood bid at the United Nations in September? By giving the PA more guns.
According to reports, the IDF has formalized a series of operational recommendations, which aim to prevent the security situation in Judea, Samaria, and Gaza from spiraling out of contron in September.
The brief, already been submitted to the government, also states that should violence erupt, the military would still strive to keep outright conflicts with Arabs in PA areas to a minimum.
IDF recommendations include several "confidence building measures" vis-a-vis the PA and its security forces, mainly allowing more weapons into PA administered areas from Jordan.
Senior officers in the IDF -- who have appaerently taken PA officials at their word -- believe PA officials have a vested interest in avoiding unrest in September despite a proven track record of stirring the pot and inciting violent Intifadas at key diplomatic junctures.
The PLO launched the first intifada from 1987-1993 to divert attention from its own failures and mounting criticism from Arabs in Judea and Samaria; and again, following the collapse of the July 11–25, 2000 Middle East Peace Summit at Camp David in which then Prime Minister Ehud Barak offered Yassir Arafat a PA state that would expand to 90-01% of Judea and Samaria and all of Gaza.
The brief also recommended increasing the water supply to PA and Hamas-administered areas, granting permits for the construction of new desalination facilities, increasing the numbers of PA merchants allowed to enter Israel – especially from Gaza.
The IDF also recommended other good-will gestures ahead of September, such as returning the remains of 30 Palestinian prisoners and removing various roadblocks.
