Hundreds of weapons confiscated from the PA (Palestinian Authority) in the 2002 IDF Defensive Shield counter-terror offensive are being returned by Israel.
A “senior Jerusalem official” quoted anonymously by the daily Yediot Achronot states Israel has decided to permit thousands of weapons to be transferred to PA security forces and as such, this announcement carries little significance. The source adds that the timing of this announcement coincided with the first official visit of US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as the government seeks to exhibit a policy of leniency and flexibility towards the PA amid charges Jerusalem is sabotaging diplomatic efforts.
In addition, Israel has permitted the establishment of seven major police stations in PA autonomous areas, Oslo designation “A”, in addition to dozens of substations throughout areas “B”, in which the PA maintains control over civil matters while security control remains the responsibility of the IDF.
This comes in addition to the removal of dirt roadblocks and the elimination of checkpoints throughout Yehuda and Shomron.

Whoever is responsible for this decision will have Jewish blood on their hands. There is no doubt whatsoever that these weapons will end up being used against us. Will that make Hillary happy? WHO CARES? Any government that is more concerned with “Ma yomru hagoyim?” than with the safety of our own people has NO right to be in power!
