Israel hat im pal. Buergerkrieg Partei ergriffen

Das ist natuerlich nichts Neues. Fatah wird als “moderat” verkauft und Abbas als moeglichem Verhandlungspartner hofiert, waehrend Hamas richtig als das beschrieben wird, was sie ist: Eine derzeit vor allem vom Iran finanzierte Terrororganisation. Das Problem ist nur, dass bei nuechterner Betrachtungsweise die Fatah nicht viel anders aussieht:Iran replaces Iraq, becomes top funding source for Arafat’s Fatah
The Karine-A deal with Iran , in which Al-Shobaki played
a key role under Arafat’s guidance.

Und natuerlich geht das letzte Attentat in Eilat auf die Al-Aksa-Brigaden zurueck, die zur Fatah gehoeren.

Groups Behind Bomb Attack in Eilat

AL AQSA MARTYRS BRIGADES: A group affiliated with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah movement, it is considered more moderate but has carried out numerous suicide attacks against Israelis.

It has at least about 20,000 members, many of whom are also part of the official Palestinian security services. The group has a large arsenal, including homemade rockets, mortars, rocket-propelled grenades, land mines, heavy machine guns and automatic rifles.

Ich finde es keine gute Idee, sich auf Seiten der Fatah im pal. Buergerkrieg zu engagieren:
Israel’s New Top Soldier May Have to Take on the Politicians First - before the Enemy

(…)

Neither [Olmert und Peretz sind gemeint. RB] admits that Israel is already deeply involved in the Gaza war. The new chief of staff will be called upon to judge the situation in the light of national security. If he emulates his predecessor, who slavishly obeyed Ariel Sharon, he will be dismissed as the second political appointee in a row to fill the post of top Israeli soldier.The consequences of Halutz’s meekness were plain to see in the Lebanon War last summer and the breakdown of life, law and order in the Gaza Strip, where Israel’s unilateral pullback left the territory without a Palestinian authority capable of taking charge.

(…)

Israel not only supplies the Fatah side led by Muhammad Dahlan with weapons and money to fight Hamas, but also intelligence and logistical backing, thereby sending two messages:

1. If Dahlan cannot finish Hamas, the IDF will go in and do it for him.

2. Even if Fatah under his generalship carries the day, the IDF will have to return to the Gaza Strip to destroy the thousands of missiles Hamas and Jihad Islami have stockpiled for attacking Israel. It is understood that Dahlan cannot complete this part of the campaign himself because this would compromise his bid to succeed Mahmoud Abbas as chairman of the Palestinian Authority. The Palestinian and Arab streets would not forgive him for the sin of destroying Muslim weapons aimed at the Jewish State.
