The Palestinian Authority's controversial role in West Bank security

The Palestinian Authority was formed to protect Palestinian interests, but has come under increased scrutiny over the years. Critics argue that it has become a sub-contractor for Israel to protect its security from the Palestinians.
How does the PA coordinate security in the West Bank and what is its relationship with Israel’s government?

A Crash Course On History Of PALESTINIAN STATE:- ============================================== 1. Before Israel, there was a British mandate, not a Palestinian state 2. Before the British Mandate, there was the Ottoman Empire, not a Palestinian state. 3. Before the Ottoman Empire, there was the Islamic state of the Mamluks of Egypt, not a Palestinian state. 4. Before the Islamic state of the Mamluks of Egypt, there was the Ayyubid Arab-Kurdish Empire, not a Palestinian state. 5. Before the Ayyubid Empire, there was the Frankish and Christian Kingdom of Jerusalem, not a Palestinian state. 6. Before the Kingdom of Jerusalem, there was the Umayyad and Fatimid empires, not a Palestinian state. 7. Before the Umayyad and Fatimid empires, there was the Byzantine empire, not a Palestinian state. 8. Before the Byzantine Empire, there were the Sassanids, not a Palestinian state. 9. Before the Sassanid Empire, there was the Byzantine Empire, not a Palestinian state. 10. Before the Byzantine Empire, there was the Roman Empire, not a Palestinian state. 11. Before the Roman Empire, there was the Hasmonean state, not a Palestinian state. 12. Before the Hasmonean state, there was the Seleucid, not a Palestinian state. 13. Before the Seleucid empire, there was the empire of Alexander the Great, not a Palestinian state. 14. Before the empire of Alexander the Great, there was the Persian empire, not a Palestinian state. 15. Before the Persian Empire, there was the Babylonian Empire, not a Palestinian state. 16. Before the Babylonian Empire, there were the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah, not a Palestinian state. 17. Before the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah, there was the Kingdom of Israel, not a Palestinian state. 18. Before the kingdom of Israel, there was the twelve tribes of Israel, not a Palestinian state. 19. Before the the twelve tribes of Israel, there was an agglomeration of independent Canaanite city-kingdoms, not a Palestinian state. 20. Actually, in this piece of land there has been everything, EXCEPT A PALESTINIAN STATE. Muhammad Nadziruddin Palestine was only a geographical region in the Levant; there has never, ever existed a sovereign Palestinian state, country or nation in any RECORDED HISTORY. ========================================================================================================== The Biden and other administrations cannot see beyond "the two-state solution".: It is an easy "out" for them and the slogan has stuck. What is it that they don't understand about two-states? Take a tiny country the size of New Jersey; divide the land and give it to a people who have built up their victimhood, never-ending, conflicting narrative of "indigenous people whose land was stolen" by these ''nasty Zionists''. Read recent history just warping back to 1947 (disregard historical Biblical history for now) when it was the ARABS who REJECTED their own homeland; and chose wars and intifadas which they lost. The Palestinians were invented by Arafat in 1964; their flag was founded in 1964. "At first the claims of the propaganda were so shameless that people thought it insane; later it got on people's nerves; and in the end it was believed." Adolph Hitler, Mein Kampf. Take one Egyptian terrorist ( Arafat ) who managed to ''invent'' Arabs into Palestinians in 1964: after terror attacks. Teach them only two words: ISLAMIC - which speaks for itself. JIHAD - which means HOLY WAR - ISLAMIST HOLY WAR against all non-Muslims. There has NEVER, IN ANY RECORDED HISTORY EXISTED A SOVEREIGN PALESTINIAN STATE, NATION OR COUNTRY, WHICH CLAIMED JERUSALEM AS IT'S CAPITAL. QUESTION: How come we find ancient Inca, Mesopotamia, Persian Greek, Chinese, Roman, Egyptian, Indian, Aboriginal and other ancient civilizations and cultures, and yet, nothing has ever been discovered of PALESTINIAN ancient civilization before and AFTER 1964?

[@SCBotanicals]

🤣 your a funny The term "Palestine" first appeared in the 5th century BCE when the ancient Greek historian Herodotus wrote of a "district of Syria, called Palaistinê" between Phoenicia and Egypt in The Histories.[7] Herodotus provides the first historical reference clearly denoting a wider region than biblical Philistia, as he applied the term to both the coastal and the inland regions such as the Judean Mountains and the Jordan Rift Valley.

[@jonlenihan4798]

The repetitive assertion that "how dare any western secular democracy tell the brave, holy, perfect Palestinians how to manage" is tiresome. Palestine is yet another failed Levantine state. If Palestine were not on the front line in the confrontation between the modern secular West and religious reactionary East, Palestine would be allowed to devolve into another Somalia, Syria, Yemen, Iraq, Libya, Lebanon. The Oslo Agreements assumed that the kleptocratic government of Palestine would agree to simply go away after five years. Not seeing any problem there. UNRWA provides the social services of Palestine. The fellow at 5:00 complains that the US and the EU give Palestine an additional billion dollars a year, to pay for government functions, and demand visible police services. How dare they! Terrorism is Palestine's only export. They once did hit jobs against Western democracies for the Soviet Union; now it's Iran. Palestine, like Syria, is a profoundly violent tribal society. Violence against Israel serves to freeze the political situation. No forward movement, no resolution is possible. Come back in fifty years and the grandchildren of Saed Erekat, Mahmoud Abbas, Hanan Ashrawi will be shouting about jihad, with their snouts in the Palestine cash box. The problem lies in managing the anti-Israel violence. Too much violence runs the risk of an overwhelming Israeli response. No violence means no credibility for the Palestine political leadership. Further complication, there are multiple mafias competing to be seen as indispensable to both Israel and Palestine. Finding and maintaining the level of violence which demonstrates the indispensability of Mahmoud Abbas to the various publics- Israeli, EU, US, Palestinian - is not easy .

It "belonged" to Israel before Jews were expelled from there thousands of years ago. Now , before 1948 there were Jews living in Palestine in peace with Arabs and in small communities , no one was told to leave ever. Then , in 1948 "Ashkenazi European White Jews" invaded the land and displaced many Arabs from their homes and lands , then they call themselves Israelis. True Israelis are Ethiopian Jews , Yemenite Jews , Moroccan and Tunisian Jews , the European ones are fake and not the historical and native people of the land , they weren't even Jews before. Both Arabs and Jews lived happily together before 1948 , when these European Zionists showed up and ruined everything. I do wish for a two-state solution , since you can't send millions of Jews away , its too late now. But Arabs shouldn't lose their country and land completely as well.
