PALESTINIAN USE ARMS TO OBTAIN SERVICES
Why didn't I think of this? Of course, this is why the 'peaceful Palestinians' join militias.... To obtain government services....Palestinians have joined militias to obtain government services in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, a report said.You mean this doesn't go on in your country?
The International Crisis Group said in a report that militias have been hired to ensure food and government services in the Gaza Strip. Entitled "The Arab-Israeli Conflict: To Reach a Lasting Peace," the report said militias have provided the muscle to obtain health and utilities in the PA.
"Palestinians increasingly are resorting to arms in order to attain what money no longer can buy; guns and armed gangs have become the critical means to obtain access to public and private services, whether food, medical care, electricity or water," the report said.
The ICG report did not specify the militias. But Western diplomatic sources said at least 16 major militias operate in the Gaza Strip.
