Subject: RE: BS: Arab victim of Palestinian terrorism
Plus, you have not as yet addressed the point about him saying one thing in English and the very opposite in Arabic

He's in a pretty tight spot, don't you think? He's being put in a position by the government of Israel of having to be the enforcer for an occupying force. That's got to really sting for most Palestinians. If he looks like he's only protecting Israel's "interests" in the occupied territories, it will look like he's betraying the Palestinians. That's a completely untenable position for anyone to have to be in.
