1. These policemen will not kill Jews during their spare time

2. They can't do a worse job than Barak
Adam Eliyahu Berkowi   (11.24.08)
Hey, Arabs have a lot of pride and machismo. If they are a cop and someone steals a car on their watch, they'll take it personal and kick some butt (unlike Barak who gets the words kick and kiss confused). There has been a wave of theft in Gush Etzion and the Israeli police have raised their hands in surrender saying they can't go into Area A places to retrieve the stolen cars. These PA cops can. Also, the Israeli cops don't seem to mind that there are a lot of illegal weapons floating around. And isn't it a perfectly normal thing for a government to assign security within its borders to a foreign power? And to arm them? And lets face it, no arab has ever succeeded in ejecting a Jew from his home. I wish we could say the same about Israeli generals.
3. They can't do worse than Barak
Adam Eliyahu Berkowi   (11.24.08)
Let's face it, there has been a wave of thefts in Yesha and the Israeli police have said that there is nothing they could do about it. Even when they know precisely where the stolen goods and the thief are, they cant go into Area A. These PA cops can! And Arab machismo means that they will really kick some butt, unlike Israeli upper echelon security chiefs who prefer kissing to kicking. Also, the Israeli police doesn't seem to mind the illegal weapons floating around. After seeing the inter-arab violence I feel confident that out of self-preservation, these guys are gonna make sure they are the only arabs around with guns. And no armed arab has ever succeeded in ejecting a Jew from his home in Israel. I wish we could say the same about Israeli generals, judges, and prime ministers. It is a brilliant solution taken from a vast number of historical precedents. The military branches of government are always setting up foreign armies within their borders and arming them. It is a logical solution that always leads to peaceful resolution. After all, you don't make peace with your friends, and if your enemy isn't well armed enough or if he happens to live in another country, bring him inside and arm him so you can make peace. And if a few Jews suffer along the way, that is our historical role that was only upset by what happened in '67 which is why we should turn back the clock and return to those borders.
4. AND WITH WHAT TERMS FOR JEWISH HOLY PLACES?
ROLAND SEENER ,   LONDON ENGLAND   (11.24.08)
5. A repeated lie…
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (11.24.08)
The greatest Middle Eastern success in public relations opinion-shaping in the last forty years has been the Palestinian self-definition of themselves as a separate people and as victims of Israel and the West. The entire world, it appears, has been convinced. Europeans and many Americans, not to mention members of the Muslim umma, trip over each other offering sympathy and buckets of money to the Palestinians. The United Nations makes unique arrangements for the Palestinians, and numerous UN bodies devote themselves solely to the needs of the Palestinians. And those same Europeans and Americans, and the members of those UN organs, risk apoplexy in their violent denunciations of Israel - Israel the bully, the oppressor, the colonialist, the racist - for thwarting the Palestinians. …Goebels would be green with envy.

6. MISLEADING HEADLINE
DAVID ,   JUDEA   (11.24.08)
These are not police officers like Ynet claims , but American trained soldiers in military bases in Jericho and Jordan. So once again we can thank our government for building up a military force within our own borders. It defy's logic but then again, when was the last time that these politicos showed any sign of clear thinking. One can be rest assured that these same "police officers" will be involved in attacks against us , but ofcourse this is insignificant as long as we can kiss up to our gentile masters.
7. To keep israeli's interests

8. Is this some sort of sick joke?
Douglas Miller ,   Detroit   (11.25.08)
Letting armed PA thugs "protect" Christmas tourists in Bethlehem is letting the fox into the hen house. The same PA that drove the Christian residents out of Bethlehem is now being permitted to "ensure the safety" of Christian visitors. This is blatantly irresponsible, morally reprehensible, and completely insane.
