For the first time since 2006, the Palestinian Authority’s security services on the West Bank have stopped cooperating with the IDF in operations and intelligence-sharing for countering terrorism. The arrest and interrogation of suspects, the most effective measure for thwarting terrorist plots, are discontinued: Palestinian security officers invite suspects for conversation, then send them home, contrary to every explicit guarantee the Palestinian Authority and its head, Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen) has given Israel and the US officers building up Palestinian Authority units.
A senior Israeli intelligence source engaged directly in counterterrorism told DEBKAfile Thursday, May 3, that, in response to the Palestinian Authority’s failure to stand by its commitments, Israel has upped the terror alert level in Judea and Samaria, as well as along the Israel-West Bank boundary. Israeli security officials believe it is just a matter of time before Palestinian extremists go back to their old terrorist tactics against Israel.
Until a few weeks ago, Palestinian security authorities were still willing to cooperate with Israel and Western officials working alongside them to prevent “hot attacks” – i.e., plots close to execution. But in recent days, Ramallah has discontinued even that modicum of collaboration.
DEBKAfile’s intelligence and counterterrorism sources say that Washington and Jerusalem have no doubt that the Palestinian Authority would not have taken this crucial step without the approval of its chairman, Abbas.
American officials who taxed him on this received a flat denial and a promise to check with Gen. Abu Dohan, Palestinian Security Forces chief, and come back with answers. This he failed to do.
There is another troubling symptom of Palestinian backtracking on its war on terror: They have not only stopped arresting suspects of plotting terror attacks, they are opening the doors of their prisons to let detainees go free. This is being done gradually so as not to draw the attention of Israel and US security and intelligence services.
The old Palestinian revolving door policy is back for terrorists at police holding cells and detention facilities for which Yasser Arafat was notorious during the uprising of 2000-2004.
Palestinian sources deny that Mahmoud Abbas and Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal reached any understandings when they met in Cairo Wednesday, May 2. But Israel does not believe this is true. In fact Israeli intelligence sources told DEBKAfile that misinformation about the meeting was disseminated as a smokescreen to deceive Israeli and Western officials.
The truth, said one source, is that “Abu Mazen and Meshal are developing a special relationship very similar to the one that existed in the early 2000’s between Yasser Arafat and the Hamas founder, Sheikh Ahmed Yassin.” They were consistently at odds on ideology but in complete agreement on a policy of violence and terrorism against Israel.
Everyone with some brains in his head can predict with almost certainty that we will have to fight them sooner or later. The US have train them, equip them and finance them…we better prepare to be ready when that happens. We will have to pay a price for that folly to.
What about Israel’s own soft treatment of rioters and terrorists?
The Nabi Saleh riots are a weekly feature.
(Notice that Israeli police and IDF use DISPERSAL METHODS ONLY. Nobody gets arrested. Not even the foreign participants.)
A group of about 30 PA Arabs, who were accompanied by leftists and foreign activists, rioted on Friday afternoon in the Arab village of Nabi Saleh, the community of Neve Tzuf in Binyamin. The rioters threw stones at security forces, who responded by using crowd dispersal means.
According to a report by the Tazpit agency, an additional group of 80 Arabs, leftists and foreigners who came from the weekly demonstration in the village of Nabi Saleh, demonstrated in the nearby Trans-Binyamin Highway. The rioters threw stones at security forces, who responded by using riot control equipment.

Arabs are terrorizing motorists, but Israeli authorities don’t do anything about it. It might upset them.

ISRAEL REWARDS TERRORIST ATTEMPTS WITH ROADBLOCKS REMOVAL
The army removed several important checkpoints in the Arab-occupied territories in response to what it says is increased stability.

And what’s so shocking about the PA releasing terrorists? Israel does it now with regular frequency.
~~~~~~~~~~~
The PA is becoming a state, with the help of the Israeli government.
Israel is helping the slowing Palestinian Authority economy even as Arab nations ignore pledges.
Israel also increased the number of permits for Arab employment in Israel and pushed forward an agreement to build four electricity substations in Judea and Samaria to increase the amount of electricity available for further economic development.
Israeli purchases from the Palestinian Authority increased by 2.1 percent compared with 2010 while Israeli sales dropped by 1.1 percent.

These are the same Arabs who slaughter Jews and incite their children to destroy Israel.

So, news reports about Israel and the PA are not as absurd as they seem. There is a coordination of sorts. Or a method to the madness. Or whatever.
Connect the dots.
…well, D’oh!
The sooner we realize that we can NOT, should NOT and must NOT trust any word spoken or written by a musloid, regardless, of how good it sounds and sincere it appears….
The agreement between Begin and Sadat is worthless and as this article points out, to even THINK that a musloid will join sides with Israel against a fellow mujaheed….is stupidity to the nth degree.
