1. Not so far fetched...

The US trained Bin Lauden. Also I recall an article that an FBI agent declared in court that the FBI had sent money to the Palestinians marked for sucide bombings. This is extreme for an agent to jump ship, it is also the only place where information is not influenced by propaganda and cant be hidden. They said it was to follow the money trail, but I think they can do that by watching others money, not sending their own. The US has departments and individuals in the US for handling foriegn affairs and it is not a branch of the CIA, thus why is the CIA over here. Shouldn't other departments being doing this Job of peace making? Why a spy oganization? Is this create a problem and then offer a solution? Does the US create enemies so that the people will give billions to the profit making business of war? It is a scray thought. Lets hope our leadership isn't involved. If they are lets hope we catch them and put them in jail.
2. Typical of American Policy.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (10.22.07)
American policy frequently works at cross-purposes, achieving the opposite of it's intentions. They have done this in Iraq where failure is the most charitable description one could make. America is always looking for "good guys" - in Iraq, Al Qaeda & Sunni insurgents were the enemy, so they supported Shi'ites. The Shi'ites formed militias & began killing Sunnis. Now, they are killing Americans. The new policy is to work with Sunni tribal leaders against Al Qaeda but this is only aggravating the Shi'a. In our case, America defines Fatah as "moderate" - so they arm & train them, supposedly to fight Hamas & other Islamic groups, defined as the "enemy". During the war in Afghanistan, America armed & trained the Muslim Jihadis who fought the Russians. They did this with the aid of Pakistan & Saudi Arabia. The result was, of course, al Qaeda. The American State Dept. cannot learn from it's mistakes. They actually believe that there are "good guys" (do they wear white turbans?). But there are no "good guys" in the Middle East. All are fundementally hostile, anti-American, & anti-Western. Our gov't. is no better. We signed on to this flawed American conception at Oslo. Only a moron could have believed Arafat would become a moderate. Yet we based our entire foreign policy on this proposition. Listen to the debate about Iran. How many times have we heard the argument that somehow, there are "moderates" within the Iranian regime? This is wishful thinking, to say the least. It's the same as defining Saudi Arabia as a "moderate" country. Or Egypt for that matter. Just because their regimes do not openly espouse Jihad does not make them any less anti-Western or anti-American. This quest for non-existant moderates is the basic reason why American (& Israeli) policy consistently fails in the Middle-East.
3. plot & counter-plot theory
observer   (10.22.07)
did the US trained Fatah persons disguised as Al-Qaida? But, because the Jews plotted to evade the 9/11, the US is counter-plotting to chase Jews in Israel? The whole thing is not about conceren for security; it's a disease called "anti-Goyism"
4. #3 "anti-Goyism"
Josh   (10.22.07)
It is the typical "anti-my people" that all cultures suffer from. It exists, but neither the US nor the UN is hardly promoting Israel. Nor can you say the author's sources are Jews. We were blamed as the catalyst for 911. The Christian right thinks the Jews run Washington and Jesus freaks think were bringing the anti-christ into power. If anything there are more Goy conspiracies against the federal govement of the US, than any Jew with a chip on his shoulder could come up with. By the way, this theory has already been presented by "Goys". Are you "Them"? Do you work for a washington think tank? Could be a conspiracy brewing. Someone is trying to rule the world. Oh yeah, "They" already do. Some conspiracy ehh.
5. Is this article being reported on the Hebrew site?

6. USA - abused innocent
Sheila ,   Jerusalem Israel   (10.22.07)
If one is questioning the US attitude in this arena then maybe one should look first to USAID and then to the State Department. USAID workers hav elong been using American taxpayers money to provide equipment and support to terrorists -
7. Israel is in trouble
Shiloh ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (10.22.07)
Why the media has not reported more of this is bizarre. It is well known that the CIA has been working, arming and training the moderate Fatah terrorists for quite some time. They have taken some to the US and trained them on US soil. It is also not secret the hatred of the state dept against the Jews. This supposed summit in November is being run by Baker and his boys (and girl) who is known to be a Jew hater. Between this, the leftist gov't, the apostate and pseudo Jews in this country who are bound and determined to destroy this Jewish country, we are about to face the biggest test in centuries rather quickly.
8. #3, up to your usual standards
Danny   (10.22.07)
It is not a "plot" by the US. It is simple incompetence and wishful thinking. I bet if WND did a study on the people the IDF did joint patrols he'd find that a number of those were Al-Aqsa as well. Remember this is in 1999 when Fatah were "moderates" and we were going to a confererence soon to "settle the dispute".... rather like now.
9. This has been well-known for years
David   (10.22.07)
Why wasn't there an outcry on the part of Israelis? Why did they allow this to happen?
10. only US State Dept to blame ?
Marcel ,   Florida   (10.22.07)
The delusional and blind always give the comander in chief a pass for the bad things happening to Israel under his Road Map agenda. You can't reason with the mesmerized Bushbot machines who cane hear no evil see no evil and speak no evil of their Messiah George the fake peacemaker who destroys Israel by his 'peace' There is no accountablilty with you folks of the strong delusion even though the buck stops with the president.. Always making excuses for him. You sugar coat the evil treachery that lead's our president to reward the Islamic terrorists and punish Israel. After reading this late in coming article your talk backs it's no wonder Israel is in the disasterous condition it is in. It's as if you are all mesmerized ,hypnotized,blinded. Not one of you mentioned that it is the Bush led and initiated Road Map to a Palestinian state that is behind his support of Islamic terrorism when it comes to Israel. No outcry from you that Bush rewards and helps the terrorists in their goal of destroring Israel. You are part of the delusional crowd who can only get up the courage to blame the state department at most and never get to the chief perpetrator against Israel Mr. Bush because that would prove how wrong you were about your hero from day one. So continue your love ,adoration and worship of your hero and messiah from hell who dividess Israel for his personal dream,his vision of Judenfrei Palestine where Jew's are not permiited to live.
11. How Ironic!
Brandon ,   Proud American   (10.22.07)
American "AID" to Israel is responsible for Israel's success!
12. Censored?
Canadian Otter   (10.22.07)
(Dear Ynet, I have re-read a draft of my post and don't see any incitement, swearing, slander or racist slurs. Have your standards been modified? I'm trying again.) There's something different about the help that has been given to the Palestinians. The Palestinians are fighting a friendly state. Calling Fatah "moderates" is a PR campaign with no basis whatsoever on real facts. Yet the US government persists on repeating that lie in the hope that it will stick. Oslo was not needed. Creating a Palestinian state is the worst of the possible options to solve the problem of Palestinian refugees. The logical solution would have been to fully empower Israel to obliterate terror. But they didn't choose that. On the contrary. The Americans even seemed to work against the Israelis when the Jews were winning. Why? In the case of Israel, looked from today's perspective, there seems to be a consistent plan by the US to weaken the state of Israel with a long term view of its eventual destruction. Israel's role in the American big picture is one of a constant irritant in the US relations with the Arabs. Imagine - from their perspective - a world without Israel and you'd understand what I mean. It is also important to take into consideration that there are no sympathies for Israel among US administrators, academicians, etc. On the contrary. For some, the idea of destroying Israel is good enough as an end in itself. The only way that the US tactics make sense is within a grand plan to destroy Israel. That's how all the pieces fit the puzzle. And for those who like to mention the millions given to Israel, you must take into consideration: 1) Arab countries also benefit from American largesse. 2) American politicians need to keep Jewish voters and donors to the Republican and Democratic parties happy. 3) Weapons and other military equipment exports are at the heart of the American economy. Assistance to Israel is only window dressing. Behind the scenes, there is a plan to destroy it.

There is this article about the background of the CIA involvement with Fatah. http://www.hirhome.com/israel/cia-fatah.htm As you can see, this has been known for quite some time.
