RE: Who Are The Palestinians? Part 2

et al,
The Arab Palestinians were always a bit melodramatic; a drama queen.
◈ The accusation that the US initiated a coup d'etat.
◈ The Israelis established a territory set aside for Hostile Arab Palestinians icontanment.
The Palestinians only had their own government for about three months. Then the US had a coup and reinstalled a bantustan government.
(COMMENT)
The Arab Palestinians
(hell, everybody in the world) knew that at the time of the Palestinian elections, it was against both American and International Law to finance terrorism
(HAMAS being a designated terrorist organization).
In other words, the Arab Palestinians intentionally voted for to install the Islamic Resistance Movement (HAMAS) • THEN tried to make it appear that the US was trying to interfere with the election. They simply refused to accept the consequences of their acts.

Dahlan, who had once been praised by George W Bush and was chosen by neoconservatives to lead a coup against the elected Hamas government in Gaza in 2007, seems to have finally managed to sneak his way back to Palestinian politics.
Gaza: The curse of Mohammed Dahlan
It has long been known that following Hamas’ victory in Palestinian Authority legislative elections in January 2006, Israel and its allies, particularly the United States, worked to undermine the Hamas-led government. Their aim was to restore the authority of the Fatah movement led by Mahmoud Abbas, which had controlled the PA since it was created in 1994 after the Oslo accords were signed the previous year.
In February 2007, after months of clashes between their supporters, Fatah and Hamas agreed to form a “national unity government” headed by Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh. Enraged by this, the US government hatched a plot, along with Fatah strongman Muhammad Dahlan, to engage Hamas militarily in Gaza. But the plot failed and in June 2007 Hamas turned the tables and overran Dahlan’s US-supported militias.
Until now, the most comprehensive and essential account of these events was contained in David Rose’s April 2008
Vanity Fair article, “
The Gaza Bombshell.”
