Financed by the British taxpayer, brutal torturers of the West Bank

Crackdown: Palestinian forces seize a man on the West Bank

File this under rats in a barrel. Mindless violence against fellow Muslims is a hallmark of Islam. While the world focuses on Gaza, the PA in the West bank carry out kidnappings, torture and murder, much as Hamas does in Gaza.

It's not just British money that funds the endless violence by the Palestinians, every Western country must share the blame for perpetuating the abomination known as the Palestinian Authority. Until the West aids Israel in controlling the fanatical Hamas and Fatah, the attack, truce, attack scenario will go on and on.

So much for a "moderate" PA and Fatah.

The only thing that can stop, at least for a while, the endless series of Islamic attacks against Israel is for Israel to so kill so many fanatical Muslims that it will take decades for them to breed more Islamists. Israel must resign itself to occupying the Gaza strip and West Bank for the foreseeable future if there is to be any chance of stability in the region.

Again, Muslim sectarian violence is the West's best ally in the fight against the Global Jihad.

Financed by the British taxpayer, brutal torturers of the West Bank

The horrific torture of hundreds of people by Palestinian security forces in the West Bank is being funded by British taxpayers.
An investigation by The Mail on Sunday has found that the forces responsible get £20million a year from the UK.

The victims – some left maimed – are rounded up for alleged involvement with the militant Islamic group Hamas, yet many have nothing to do with it.

They are targeted because the Fatah party, which runs the semi-autonomous Palestinian Authority (PA) on the West Bank, is the bitter rival of Hamas, which controls the war-torn Gaza strip.

Britain’s Department for International Development (DFID) gave £76million in all to the PA last year for ‘security sector reform’ and fostering the rule of law.
About £3million goes directly to the PA police. Another £17million pays the salaries of the PA’s array of security organisations – including the Presidential Guard intelligence service and the feared Preventive Security Organisation.
Not only are PA forces carrying out torture, the authority ignores judges’ orders to release political detainees. Last month at least 30 journalists, teachers and students were arrested – as the crackdown on Hamas was praised by a senior Israeli defence official as a necessary ‘iron fist policy’.
