More surrendering to terror. For these arms will almost certainly not just be used against Hamas, but against Israeli civilians. From the BBC, with thanks to Mackie:
Israel says it will allow security forces loyal to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to be supplied with weapons from third countries.The announcement follows clashes between Mr Abbas's supporters and rivals from the Hamas militant group.
But Mr Abbas's office denied the story. A BBC correspondent said he might not want to be seen accepting Israeli help.
Earlier, Mr Abbas challenged Hamas to accept a joint political programme with his Fatah faction or face a referendum.
The plan, drawn up by jailed Palestinian leaders from all the main factions, says attacks on Israel should be limited to the land occupied by it since 1967 - implying recognition of Israel within its pre-1967 borders.
Even my 11 year old knew to call the government "meshuga'im" (nuts, crackpots, crazies, etc.) when he heard the news this morning.
Harakiri on a national scale.

Where did this guy Olmert come from? This is a world leader that only Muslims and liberals could love. Isn't he aware of the history of the region as far as Israel and the other Middle Eastern countries? In 1947 the second that Israel became a nation, all Muslim countries declaired war on Israel! Where is Benjamin Netanyahu when you need him?
My guess is they want Abbas to survive any attempts made by the psychotic hamas from doing him in.
Is this a Zionist plot for 'throwing arms at chaos' to keep the mad dogs at one another's throats instead of Israel's?
It won't pan out.
Whoever wins will eventually be coming back at Israel with these same arms.
The Islamic good cop/bad cop method is a ruse.
No arms, just oranges.
I thought every Palestinian already owned an AK47 and/or an rpg.
MP,
I too think that they do. This must be for "emergencies".
Give them all a gun, with one bullet each, the gun can only be fired once, retreat to safe distance...
