Israeli soldiers arrested two Palestinian Authority Arabs Saturday after discovering they were carrying an M-16 rifle as they tried to pass through a checkpoint in northern Samaria.

The men tried to flee but stopped when soldiers fired warning shots in the air in what is almost a daily event. Sometimes it is knives, sometimes it is pistols, and sometimes it is explosives. This time it was a semi-automatic rifle.

The two men were apprehended in what pro-Arab and anti-“occupation” media call a degrading search.

It would be a lot more polite to take down all checkpoints and simply let people pass through freely, bringing with them all the weapons they want.

They is what they do within the Palestinian Authority-controlled areas of Judea and Samaria because the PA police only go after Arabs who are a threat to their leader, Mahmoud Abbas, the man who is serving his ninth year of a four-year term of office that was to be followed by elections..

It seems that the first and only election in the Palestinian Authority was enough for a lifetime.

Palestinian Authority “security” is on par with its “democracy.” The “two-state solution” that Abbas panders and wants to force on Israel with pre-determined borders to be accepted by the United Nations provides places Israeli security in the hands of the Palestinian Authority, which allows its “civilians” to carry M-16 rifles.
