Americans' tax dollars at work:

Jerusalem — Despite several years of military cooperation with Israel, the Fatah movement, the dominant force behind the Palestinian Authority (PA), has resumed terror activities against Israel, according to Middle East Newsline. This development could make things difficult for the U.S. due to a high degree of American involvement.

Over the past year, due to earlier Israeli military cooperation efforts with Fatah forces, Israel had pardoned more than 250 Fatah terrorists implicated in the attacks in 2003 and 2004, and many of them were absorbed in PA security forces.

Now, Israeli intelligence sources say, dozens of these pardoned Fatah terrorists have returned to the fighting Israel. They said these Fatah fighters have been encouraged by senior members of the movement led by PA President Mahmoud Abbas to fight the Jewish state.

“The assessment is that a Fatah campaign would revive their movement and exploit the international atmosphere against the new Israeli government [of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu],” an Israeli intelligence source said.

Fatah has claimed responsibility for killings of Israeli police and civilians in March and April.

This is something that's going to have be brought up as an issue for discussion. Americans who don't want their military being misused for training the wrong entities should voice their concerns.
