Reply #33: When did Israel agree that they could carry arms? [View All]

[Violet_Crumble]

I'm not saying things might not have changed, but the last thing I remember seeing on that sort of thing was a few months back where Israel was refusing to allow them to carry arms....

When it comes to the likelihood of civil war (I'd think it'd be a very real fear), and if the PA got its arse kicked from here to tomorrow, I'd be thinking that that sort of outcome would be the worst thing possible for Israel as well as the Palestinian people. I think Israel has to do more to let Abbas be in a position where he's got the capability and the backing of the population to do this, and things like expanding settlements in the West Bank and destroying homes there isn't exactly the sort of help Abbas would need....
