"Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is actively coordinating with Israel to destroy his party Fatah's formidable opponent, Hamas, which represents the great majority of Palestinians in the occupied territories and arguably abroad. For this he is receiving abundant assistance"

"The moment Abbas declared his arguably unconstitutional emergency government, the suffocating sanctions were lifted, or more accurately, on the West Bank only. To ensure that no aid reaches anyone who defies his regime, Abbas's office revoked the licences of all NGOs operating in Palestine, making it necessary for them to submit new applications. Those loyal to Abbas are in. The rest are out.

Weapons and military training have also arrived in abundance. Palestinians who have been denied the right to defend themselves, and for decades described as "terrorist", are suddenly the recipients of many caches of weapons coming from all directions. Israel announced a clemency to Fatah militants; the freedom fighters turned gangsters will no longer defend their people against Israeli brutality, but will be used as a militant arm ready to take on Hamas when the time comes."
