South Gaza Police Deployment Said Delayed
2005-01-27
A senior Palestinian commander said the deployment of Palestinian police in southern Gaza, originally set for Thursday, has been postponed. The commander, who spoke on condition of anonymity, would not give the reasons for the delay. However, lower-ranking officers said there were still some disagreements with Israel over where the Palestinian policemen would take up positions. Israeli security officials were not immediately available for comment.
Yup. Israel's fault, again. Yup. Yup. Ri-i-i-ght.

#3  The article, however brief, claims that there are disagreements over positioning. If the Paleos can't or won't take suggestions, then it should be made clear that they can organize their own effort if they prefer, but a failure to perform up to expectations will result in negative consequences.

#2  i mean youve got israelis who know the local security needs, and are blunt, and Pals officers who have arab sensitivity about face, and they havent been working together for some time. Some friction is to be expected.

#1  in fairness, this is bureaucratic blame - "hey, shimon, i think commander Mahmuds post should be over there" "no, abdul, with all due respect, we've done this for years, and the post needs to be 150 meters to the east" "I insist he goes over THERE, and I expect your signoff immediately" "wait a bit while I run it by the MOD in Tel Aviv"

rather than - "we cant do this cause the Evil Israelis are hurting Pal children and cutting down olive trees"
