#3 Glenmore,

your suggestion is one I'm led to believe was tried before and was a big part of Hamas coming to power in the first place. Gazans saw Abbas and Fatah as a bunch of corrupt, traitors and from what I've read they were right.

Now, a traitor to the "Kill the Juice" movement is okay in my book but I can see that the Gazans might not agree. So I don't think your idea has a "hearts and minds" component.

But, my real aversion to it is that Fatah seems to be made up of corrupt, incompetent cowards! So, this would more than likely wind up rearming Hamas. Other than this, I'd say go for it and screw the "hearts & minds".

#4 I think we've squandered way too much money on Palestinians of whatever stripe. The results we've gotten so far don't seem to justify any more.
