#1 They might be against all the corruption in the PA, but they probably also have no problem with coninuing the Intifada either.
Things will get interesting after Arafat finally departs

#5 The younger Fatah members see the handwriting on the wall. As it stands now, their corrupt and ineffective group will end up on the short end of things when civil war breaks into the open.

As for the Intifada, that's become a deadly PR campaign for all the groups. Paul's right - things will get interesting when Arafat departs.

#6 Nice take mhw, corruptions fine as long as every rat gets his piece of cheese. People aren't getting their cheese.

Also nice take Pappy as to the intifada... death trap! Way cool.

#7 The last straw was when Yasser cut contributions to their 401Ks in half. They also heard that Islamic Jihad had openings at the top level.
