The West Is Helping the PA Torment Palestinians
by Khaled Amayreh / August 15th, 2008
Western governments are telling their respective citizens that the financial
support they give to the Palestinian Authority (PA) is used to foster
security and promote democracy, human rights and the rule of law in the
occupied territories. These governments might also be deluding themselves
into thinking that the often harsh repression meted out by the PA to its own
people, long tormented by Israel, would be conducive to promoting peace
between Israel and the Palestinians. But the west is wrong on both
accounts.
