CORRUPTION AND CHAOS UNDER P.A.

Gunmen Ransack Gaza Newspaper Office - Khaled Abu Toameh (Jerusalem Post)
Gunmen on Sunday went on a rampage inside the offices of the online newspaper Donia al-Watan in Gaza City, destroying equipment and threatening to kill editor-in-chief Abdallah Issa. Donia al-Watan is an independent newspaper that has been reporting extensively on corruption and lawlessness in the PA - issues that the PA-controlled media often tend to ignore.

Imtiyaz al-Mughrabi, who writes regularly for the paper, said the only way to deal with anarchy is by confiscating illegal weapons "that are being used against our children, women and elderly, as well as our writers." In more scenes of lawlessness, three Palestinians were murdered in Ramallah over the past week, one of them a 75-year-old woman.

GEE, I WONDER WHO ATTACKED THE NEWSPAPER? WHO HAS THE MOTIVE TO SHUT UP SOMEONE CRITICIZING THE PALESTINIAN "GOVERNMENT" FOR CORRUPTION AND FAILING TO KEEP ORDER?

Former PA Justice Minister Blames PA for Rampant Corruption (Palestine-Info-UK)
Speaking at a political seminar in Gaza city, former PA justice minister Nahed Al-Rayes affirmed that the PA is responsible for the "mushrooming corruption" rampant in its institutions. "The PA security elements were setting up gangs inside their apparatuses in order to loot public and private funds, let alone terrorizing the citizens," the former minister charged.
