MK Tzvi Hendel (National Union) of Gush Katif reacted sharply to the decision to allow PA policemen to bear arms: "I cannot believe it's true. But if, Heaven forbid, it is, it's proof that the insane moves of the Prime Minister are causing even those who surround him to lose their sanity. The murderous Palestinian gang headed by Dahlan - so admired by Israel's government - will be happy to be aided by Israel's approval for it to carry arms in order to murder more Jews."
The afore-mentioned Muhammed Dahlan, who has a rich terrorist background, is a leading candidate to take control of Gaza if Israel withdraws. MK Uri Ariel (National Union) contacted Attorney-General Meni Mazuz this week, demanding that Dahlan be brought to justice for his role in a fatal attack outside Kfar Darom in November 2000. Dahlan and his deputy Rashid Abu-Shabak organized the school bus bombing, which killed two teachers, left half a dozen children maimed - including three siblings of the Cohen family who lost legs - and seriously wounded an American citizen, Rachel Asaroff. In response to this brutal terror attack on Jewish school children, then-Prime Minister Ehud Barak dispatched Israeli planes to strafe Dahlan's Gaza headquarters.
None other than Vice Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, now a leading champion of the disengagement/expulsion plan, has called for the "eradication" of Dahlan. In a Wall Street Journal article in June 2002, Olmert wrote,
"Mr. Dahlan is the man who has presided over an ever-fortified terrorist network... On his watch, Mr. Dahlan permitted Gaza to become a safe haven for the hundreds of fugitive terrorists fleeing Israeli forces... [T]he current thinking that Mr. Dahlan can bring reform and law enforcement to the Palestinians is totally misguided. No democratic state should ever allow itself to do business with those individuals who deliberately target a school bus... Criminals such as Mr. Dahlan and Arafat can never be reformed; they must be eradicated by force."
"Cities of Israel" grassroots activist Susie Dym applauded MK Ariel's demand that Dahlan be tried. "It is important that the public not be fooled into thinking that these terrorists are 'leading political figures,'" she told Arutz-7. "Once they are indicted, they become, indeed, terrorists and the public stops being fooled. This is what Israel did with Marwan Barghouti, and this is what must be done with Dahlan. "
